Camden Council - you have to love the brass neck!

You didn't think you were going to be allowed to stand outside with your beer whilst you smoked did you?

Not very enterprising of the pub though, is it? They ought to find a way around it.

The Tories share power in Camden. Why do so many so-called Tories in power cease to act like freedom loving conservatives and become arses?

Er, they have found a way round it.
The sign invites you to drink in their beer garden.

Pavements blocked by summer drinkers are a bloody nuisance and (if pedestrians forced into the road) possibly dangerous.

Puritanism. The deep-seated fear that someone, somewhere is enjoying themselves.

Can a council simply deem something to be illegal for it to become illegal?

local bye-law probably

Is that the pub on the corner of Red Lion Street? Not much space to hang about outside it.

It's pretty outrageous though. Are you allowed to stand outside on the street if you aren't drinking?

The beer garden at the back of The Enterprise is quite small; room enough for about 10, but not the 40 or so who might otherwise wish to drink and relax there.

Can see large groups drinking outside on the pavements as something which would be a nuisance, but can't help thinking that it's more to do with offending Islamic sensibilities by confronting them with Brits imbibing alcohol.

Don't be ridiculous, Stephen - this is Holborn not Brick Lane!
