[Leica] IMG: Wayback - 1984 Trip to Britain

I feel sure the object of the photographic ban is to try and raise money as you are allowed to photograph if you buy a permit at great expense. the only people I have heard of who have actually been stopped are wedding photographers without tripods who have been told that the public open space (ownership claimed by the London council) may not be used for profit-making activities.

In a similar way I have been stopped from photographing without a tripod at the public pony sales in the New Forest (public open space) unless I pay for an annual permit of £100.
