Will nannying put paid to my Pimm’s in the square?

• DOES Westminster Council want to turn Soho into Surbiton?
Soho Square looks better with its renovated hut but, with horror, I also now see a new edict on shiny new signs: a crossed-out wine bottle and glass. The consumption of alcohol in the square is now banned! Why?
I drank there quite happily last summer. I even drank there with Westminster city councillors.
What has happened to stop us being treated as adults this year? Why the nannying? Oh, I hate to think I have drunk my last plastic beaker of Pimm’s in Soho. What’s left of Soho, anyway.
