I was told not to drink on a station platform (train). Mind you I was quite drunk and smoking as well.
How does one "drink in your face" and what health risks does it pose to fellow passengers?
You flaunt your ignorance, intolerance and bigotry most days here, but I put up with it. It's called tolerance. You should try it sometimes.
Rubbish you completely ignored the entire point you have no answer for.
You did exactly what I said you would do...come back claiming it isn't a health risk...like this has got anything at all to do with the attitude that YOU get to decide what bans are worthy.
The sheer arrogance of that is incredible.
Well, you may as well got the whole hog.I was told not to drink on a station platform (train). Mind you I was quite drunk and smoking as well.
According to the BBC no one has been thrown off public transport as a result of the booze ban - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7701392.stm . Apparently Police have "spoken to" 35 people seen drinking alcohol and no criminal offences have been recorded. This is why we (although not me and I suspect most on here) elected you Boris... tough measures to crack down on anti-social behaviour or maybe not
front top seats on a double-decker are fantastic anyway. having a can (or any chemical enhancement) just make it that much better
Well, you may as well got the whole hog.
No discussion of the best things to drink on the tube then?
Top tip: The premixed cans of pimms and lemonade look like an energy drink to anyone that isn't used to them, so you can wander around drinking in front of staff as much as you like. And they sell them in liverpool street tube station.

I was on the tube to Wembley last Sunday for the NFL game with a few mates. We had a couple of cans on the way up and noone batted an eyelid.
After the game we waked back to Wembley Central (with a beer in hand) and on arrival at the station a BTP officer grabbed me to one side and told me drinking was not allowed. I went to take a final sip at which point the miserable bastard grabbed the brew from me and threatened me with a £50 fine for trying to finish it
As we walked off a mate started chanting "Boris is a Wanker, Boris is a wanker, na na na na" only to get pretty much everybody walking through the station to join in. That'll learn the miserable copper
Cheaper than the mainland?
Double woof!
Thing is, who would be in the British Transport Police?
There are two reasons to join:
a) Not good enough to join the normal police
b) Trainspotter
This explains a lot.
The police state thing is par for the course these days and my advice to anyone that wants it is to ignore any laws you don't like, otherwise you'll just end up depressed.
