It is indeed Reggie, but you and I are playing the long game. I recall when the "Aztec Patrols" shut down more buskers than the police ever did. Eventually, the authorities got around to shutting them down - and they had no friends when they needed them. It is humiliating to be driven off a pitch by a piper, a brass band, an electrified act playing far too loud, or a barrel organ player, whose only skill is to turn a handle. They all eventually put themselves out of business and when the scenes gradually start up again, they are not the ones whom the authorities turn a blind eye to.
