Hoping to get a tip off from a mate in a neighbouring dept. before that happens! As I say, I'm endeavouring to keep them onside!

Another approach could be to have a series of well-publicised fundraisers to help pay for the Palm Tree licence. Invite the local councillors and get to bang the drum about the crap legislation at the same time (make sure you hold the event somewhere that has an existing PEL though)!

Cheers
Sarah
