As a self-employed person and mum of three there are occasions when I have no choice but to work in a coffee shop out of the house (where three extremely noisy kids are). without that option every now and then I wouldn't be able to work - and I don't have the option of renting office space for those odd occasions. Most people I know who do this aren't taking up all the seats - they buy a drink and maybe a snack and sit quietly, not bothering anyone. With so much of our population self employed I really think that it's unkind to moan about it. I don't know why it's considered smug!

The only time I felt annoyed about a 'work from coffee shop' guy was when he seemed to be giving someone else a humongous rollocking over the phone for his standard of work.


But coffee shops like the one below have meeting rooms you can reserve for doing the failing staff members personal development plan (or other meetings) :)

    • Considering the private revision study that my children undertook, perhaps 15 to 20 years ago in that library it seems a shame they have timed the refurbishment so it won't be open at this crucial time for children. But hey, so long as it's greener... 
    • Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority.

    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.
