Would someone, preferably from a county or town council, please explain why a bar full of people enjoying a social drink, a chat, a bit of banter and perhaps a game of darts presents a Health & Safety hazard as soon as a couple of entertainers or more do their stuff together? Fire hazard? Possible riot? Trampling under foot when leaving? Possible aural damage? Some time back a spokesman for the licencers, when asked what do the tenants and customers get from the council for having paid the licence fee trotted out the H&S excuse, not very convincingly.
