Precisely what I'm saying Bryn. Were it not for the headlong charge towards the kind of litigious society they have in the states, PLI wouldn't be needed by gardeners, folk singers, flower-arrangers, morris dancers and the like. FWIW, my grandad had two allotments but I bet he'd never heard of PLI.

I don't doubt the need for PLI in today's climate, but I detest the factors that have made it so.
