    The stuff you buy from WHSmith is stationery.

    Although of course, until you pick it off the shelf, it's also stationary...

    You are licensed to run this pub.

    Licence
    This is the noun ‘a licence’.

    Examples:
    I have a driving licence.

    Why? Silly rules made up without authority by jumped-up textbook writers in one century can just as easily be ignored in the next.

    These things were only made up so that schoolteachers wiould have something to teach, because otherwise they couldn't think what to fill the day with.

    At the present time it would be reasonable to say that the two spellings of license are regarded as interchangeable (as they were in former times) by all except pedants, and the C spelling is on the way out.
    "It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis
