Much the same as the offence that is usually caused by an English man calling a German a Nazi because of something unpleasant s/he may have done. <br /><br />Of European nations I think people living in Germany often have the strongest opinions about photographs, even in (and of) public places. Just look how much harder a time Google Street view had there. That said technically it's illegal to take a photo on a Dutch train station. In the UK there are plenty of places the police will harass you for taking photos too.<br /><br />Anonymous - because I'd want you to erase photos of me too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-53609593855430126972011-06-06T13:36:38.573-07:002011-06-06T13:36:38.573-07:00Wow, that's disappointing.

I have pictures of the deer and other critters to prove it. <br /><br />On the way out, we were looking at the smaller kegs that had been unloaded from the beer truck, and their cellarman invited us into their walk-in to see the really big ones. So we sort of had the opposite experience. <br /><br />Though I guess any place that seats 8,000 will have a lot of employees, and odds are at least a few of them will be jitbags.Scoatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02551058895930966973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-14118284409228037392011-06-06T03:17:18.723-07:002011-06-06T03:17:18.723-07:00I have some "business cards" printed up ...I have some "business cards" printed up with the blog's name on them as big as possible, and try to ask permission of someone behind the bar to take pics, handing over one of the cards at the same time, so they get the idea that their pub will be receiving some free publicity - although at very busy times it's not always possible to do that.<br /><br />However, I now use an "evil" (electronic viewfinder, in-line lens) camera, with a rotating back screen, which makes it possible to take good pics without having to hold the camera up to your eye, thus making it a lot less obvious that you're snapping away.<br /><br />All the same, that particular guy does sound a prat - did he think you were from a rival bar business, or the local authority?Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-37902658325013369402011-06-06T03:14:08.316-07:002011-06-06T03:14:08.316-07:00Been thinking about this.
