I prefer to own albums, buy the CDs, the vinyl, or downloads if that's the only option. However, streaming can have a place & I'm really appreciating Qobuz's Connect tech. Plays directly to my hi-fi from phone, laptop, or iPad without any impact from other system sounds. Excellent sound quality.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:
A 6–8% hit to GDP
That's £180bn-£240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

A study by the University of Manchester found that drying a wet load of washing indoors can release two litres of water into your home.
