Note for foreign readers: the British government has enacted a ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces in England, effective on 1 July. The Firedrake (who smokes all the time just by breathing) regards this as racial profiling.


[Panel 1]
[Caz]
So what d'you think, Bell?

[Bell]
Oh, I like it!

[Bell]
It's going to be a bit of a
bugger getting drinks up a
spiral staircase, though.

[Caz]
Ah, you haven't seen
the dumb-waiter yet.

Over here. In the chimney.

[Bell]
Brilliant!


[Panel 2]
[Steve]
Well, we haven't been allowed to
have a fire for years now...

[Bell]
Health and safety?
Clean air act?

[Steve]
I think it was something to do
with that time with the Yule log.

Anyhow, the chimney was there, all
empty and doing nobody any good.

So I put a lift in it.


[Panel 3]
[Caz]
As requested, Steve: pergola, roof-top,
one, publican, for the private use of.

[Steve]
Not part of the premises.

[Caz]
Doesn't matter. The
side-panels can be
moved wherever you
want 'em but they're
exactly fifty per
cent of the total
wall space.

[Steve]
That's neat, gal.

[Caz]
I'm quite pleased
with it, actually.


[Panel 4]
[Steve]
You'd better let me have the bill.

[Caz]
What bill? I'll be using it too.

Won't I?

[Steve]
Didn't know you smoked, Caz?

[Caz]
Didn't. I started at midnight.

Filthy habit and it makes me choke,
but I'm fed up with being nannied.

[Steve]
Right. 'Ave a cigar?
