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?
