Subject: RE: PEL: What activities to be criminalised?
I thought I subbed' this once. Apologies if you get multiples...

Marching bands in general. Military bands. Brass bands in concert in the park on a Sunday afternoon (Yes - we still get them occasionaly!) Mime artists on the street (Thanks heavens - only kidding!) Any pavement artists. Civil War re-enactment societies. The Norse Film and Pagent Society. Birds singing in public. The European Christmas markets we are getting in most major cities. The two wonderful violinists that play in our local delicatessen. (Yes - you heard right!) Market traders entertaining us with their patter. Kids skipping songs in School yards. Football fans chants on a Saturday afternoon.

In fact, anything that entertains the public! Being entertained in public without a licence is to become outlawed. If this horrendous act comes into force I am going to display a prominent notice in my front window that I will be playing concertina and singing in my back garden every sunny weekend. All welcome. I will let the council know and would be quite prepared to go to prison. Anyone with me?

Cheers
