You left out the name and address of the creep who sent that classic epistle Shambles.

But it's a valuable text. Needs wider distribution.

Clearly, under this interpretation, church services with hymns are very much under threat since a church service "is clearly public in that it takes place on premises which are open to the public." And I have never heard of any exemption under the PEL requirements for church services.

You could ask his advice about that - after all you could well find yourself asked to play in a church service some time, and you want to keep in the right side of the law. (Or if you've got a friendly minister, you could get them to write asking the question.)

With local (and form that matter general) elections due in a couple of months I think whoever decided to send that letter could come to regret it...
