Gazebo caught in red tape
A York pub landlord has been told to knock down a gazebo put up for smokers in his garden because of seven screws. Robin Watson built the facility in The Shoulder of Mutton's beer garden after the introduction of the smoking ban.
He used the screws to secure the gazebo to the ground, but York Council said the move breached planning rules. Because it is fixed to the concrete and has been in place for more than a year, it requires planning permission, said a council spokeswoman. Such a structure is deemed "permanent", she explained.
(source: BBC news)
Etymology: Gazebo is supposedly a facetious formation of the Latin "videbo" (I shall see) by using gaze (to look or watch) + the suffix -bo.
