Point taken Roger.

For me it's not noise so much as the inferrence that what I do is somehow going to turn mild mannered reporters into yobs. However, seeing as the act is 'de facto' I'm just trying to point out that

1) We are being treated Nationally different to some of our fellow citizens
2) Because of the way the legislation is couched it is in our interest to point out to licensees that they will have to 'tick the box' if they want to keep darts, pool etc. etc., so what harm will it do them to include live music in the plan.

This is the direction we should now come from in my opinion. Just wondered if anybody has any other ideas, seeing as we must now accept the inevitable.
