Richard ! Last year at Sidmouth, there was a bloke on the esplanade playing with the 'aid' of a rather loud portable amplifier.I asked two coppers to get it stopped,as the festival organisers had asked for there to be no amplification.Well, it was a devil of a job getting these two blokes to do anything about it : they just weren"t interested !! And I suspect that this is the attitude that will prevail,irrespective of what legislation our flawed leaders see fit to pass.So ,carry on as usual,I say,& bugger the new rules----who will ever enforce them ??? I certainly do not intend to obey them !!
