Hi John, trust you are well - I don't doubt your vagabond creds as I am sure you know. But Wild Hunt Morris as vagabonds? Well maybe.

As for children asleep - correct I don't know if children under 5 were asleep at that time but many are.

I also accept the historic point that all sorts of performing people have been bothered by the law. But I also think people have a right not to bothered by load bangy music and I don't think Morris should be an exception.

Al, I suspect we all agree with you about the Beeb and Mike, but as for political power - we all count as one and none for more than one and I cannot see what this has to do with the op

Best wishes
