I think point 5 is just a nonsense 'nod' to Lord Bassam and the House of Lords.

What they mean is that if twenty musicians, who just happen to have their instruments with them, just happen to find themselves in a pub together, OK.

However if they wish to do the same next week, it will not be then considered as impromtu.

They must be a rough lot in Milton Keynes then?

I feel this is happening because of the attitude we have held for so long of, keeping one's head down and praying that they do not come for you next?

That attitude just encourages the bully-boy tactics that we are seeing here.
