Where are the none smokers on the evenings now? Yea sat at home watching Coronation street just like they did before.I used to blow around 50 quid a week in the boozer I have not been in a pub for 4 years. Let the assholes who wanted the ban support the pubs. like tandleman says fkuc them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612086764200474573.post-75872413182125032512011-05-24T10:33:53.543+01:002011-05-24T10:33:53.543+01:00Nah, the option in 2006 was to build in provision ...Nah, the option in 2006 was to build in provision for extremely ventilated rooms (as they have in the Netherlands). Scotland got to bring this in before England because it's H&S at work. It's not a health directive aimeds at the smoker bur removing a hazard from the bar workers' job.<br /><br />800 pubs shutting is a terrible loss. But, if they were relying on the sort of clientele who would rather sit at home smoking with a carry out rather than be in a non-smoking pub, maybe that wasn't the most solid basis to build a business on.<br /><br />I know many of the type of pub that wsa meant ot have died when the smoking ban came in that are still as alive and kicking as always.<br /><br />I don't remember them coming round and offering the government more taxes when they were in clover.<br /><br />And, anyway, the 'crunch' has had a more noticeable effect on pubs than the smoking ban did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
