I've seen it and I have to say it look terrific fun! I'm sure adequate insurance is a mandatory requirement for fun fairs.I live very close to the fair on the common. They're playing extremely loud music yet the council obviously allows them to do this.Earlier today, I was listening to three teenagers busking outside Thames Rowing club on Putney Embankment - they were absolutely brilliant! Towards the end of their set, two council officers turned up saying they'd had "complaints" from a few local residents - only four as it turned out.The band said they would continue to exercise their right to busk but inline with the Buskers Code agreed to turn their amps down a touch. They politely reminded the council officers that busking is an unlicensed act and they are legally entitled to busk. The officers agreed and put the resident's complaints down to "nimbyism" and thanked the band for their co-operation.I won't be making any complaints about the noise from the fair and nor should nimbys be making complaints about three teenage buskers playing for an hour or so on the embankment. London is a loud vibrant city, we need street entertainment. Sometimes we all have to put up with a bit of noise near our homes.
