I heard the same reports vectis.

Apparently Circus Performers have a big problem as often they don't know where they will be performing in 5 - 6 weeks therefore can't apply for a licence.

This was big news on the BBC - What a good job that impromptu folk sessions are so meticulously planned that we don't have the same problem. If we did I am sure the BBC would rally to the cause just as they did for a few clowns -

mm clowns - didn't this thread start off talking about Kim Howells ?
