From memory, there never was a CB licence, it was described as 'licence free' if the equipment met the spec..

Yes but that was later Harry, you did need to pay the licence fee initially once it was legalised, although how many were actually taken to task for not actually having one I have no idea.

I did actually have one and paid the fee (well a few times anyway)

They, it seems, went out on a 24-hour exercise, I found them on day 5.

Had nobody been looking for them? It's not exactly a huge place, or with thick tree cover.

Are you implying that questioning official definitions is always a bad thing even when those definitions might be outdated or incomplete?

Or could it be that people challenge definitions because language evolves and dictionaries cant keep up?

Lets say you only rely on one dictionary, the one laying on the table, who decides which definition is the "correct" one your dictionary or common sense?

Considering when computers were not so common in domestic households and you are saying that if someone refuses to accept what dictionaries say either because they can’t admit they were wrong or because someone else who was wrong gave them a false definition then what exactly do you expect them to do keep holding onto the wrong definition that was given to them wrongly or somehow suddenly admit they are wrong despite being told wrong in the first place? And if they do admit it is that admission really theirs or just because they were told so by another, who might also be wrong, and if so how do we ever know which wrong to trust or if there’s any right at all?

Why has a lot of people ruined my thread and I can’t comprehend that jumbled last paragraph ..

Ask Mr Morqthana. He is the one who introduced and wrangled around with dictionary terms.

I can’t comprehend that jumbled last paragraph ..

Unfortunately, that is your fault.

Last time I checked my paragraph it certainly did make sense.

Your question was answered at great length, then the thread did, what threads typically tend to do - it moved on to other, associated topics of interest to others involved in the thread. What, really, did you expect?

it moved on to other, associated topics of interest to others involved in the thread.

And did so civilly.

Guilty as charged, sorry pal, it is easy to go off topic on an interesting thread such as yours, I do apologise for that.
