I think that is a term the BBC use to describe a situation where we give someone money in exchange for goods or services and expect something in return. Also I'd like to clear up an error in this entry: Oxford University is described as "widely respected". I would like to update that description to "quaintly amusing and increasingly insane". I don't remember the last time I saw a news report about a university doing something stupid and it not turning out to be Oxford.

I think it lets them stop paying EMA if you don't actually bother to show up, which as I understood it they were supposed to do anyway.<br /><br /> Luckily, the contract does not, in fact, mean a damn thing in practice.
