Don't advertise your BBQs in UK on Facebook

A guy announced an "all-night" party at his house - a BBQ to celebrate his birthday. So the police scrambled to break up the event under the UK's anti-rave laws. The party had 15 people at it. They were eating hamburgers. They hadn't put on any music.

The police claim that sending out the chopper and the riot van saved money, compared to what it would have cost to break it up if it had turned into a full-blown, multi-thousand person rave.

Lesson: If you're going to advertise your BBQ on Facebook, don't make it sound anything like a rave. The cops are watching (in the UK).
