Problem is, Gareth, what are they going to apply for a PEL for?

And what about people not performing in pubs, like street corner carol singers? And what about sword dancers who turn up at 5 different pubs a night every fortnight? And what about the poor old pub piano? And what about a group of people who want to strt a new pub session or folk club?

Getting a bog standard PEL for the Rose & Crown won't help any of those things. You have to first say what it's for.
