What a rediculous comment smiler, didnt your parents teach you anything!! We would all like lots of things in life but that doesnt mean should have them especially if it is to the detrement of others. No-one is knocking the man for having a thriving business but whatever anyone says he is selfish for not having consideration for ALL pedestrians who choose to walk on the already narrow pavements. If his customers want more seats they will just have to squash up inside not spill out into the street, he should buy a bigger establishment for his customers if he cared about their comfort more than their money.

Ive got a great idea to keep pavements clear. Permit smoking in pubs!

Careful lads, smoking on pavements might be banned as well if Toffeeapple has her way. Standing still may also be outlawed.

Didnt the Tories pass some ridiculous bill that any more than 3 people together could constitute a potential riotous gathering?

Does that mean that someone pushing a pushchair with 2 kids in it can't stop on the pavement and chat to anyone? Good - they would be blocking the path of pedestrians?

I suggest Bill moves to a more appropriate location if he wants an outside cafe. Can't see the attraction of sitting on a grotty pavement being knocked about by passing bags, kids and breathing in car fumes...

I Know lets make pavements for pedestrians and all push our pushchairs to the town in the road bugger putting our kids lifes at risk, lets gridlock the town so pedestrians and BIll can have run of all the pavemnts.

Err Benson & HedgesI dont recall saying anything about banning smoking or anything else! Its pretty pathetic all this moaning about pushchairs, prams used to be huge with big wheels & sprung chassis. It strikes me that there are a lot of pretty selfish & hypocrytical people about, some of you drone on selfrighteously about the youngsters in their cars being inconsiderate etc yet are no better when it suits. All it needs is for everyone to please be more considerate & tolerant of others needs & preferences.
