It seems that despite dire warnings life has not come to an end as a result of the smoking ban.

    It would also be the case that sexually transmitted diseases are on the increase.

    Been to the pub today....it was packed!

    The Landlord did a lunchtime menu with a smoking theme..... Smoked Mackerel, Smoky Bacon soup, Smoked Haddock fisherman's pie and Creme Brulee, etc, etc.

    I've got to say, it was so good to spend the afternoon there without clothes and hair stinking of smoke.

    Cheers, guys!

    But what I forgot to mention:

    When the waitress set up the dining area just before us diners sat down, she knocked a candle over as she walked away without realising - and set the table cloth on fire.

    Imagine the pub being full of smoke on no smoking day! LOL

    Delighted to hear the pub you went to was packed Oggy, I really hope that I have been wrong, and the English non-smokers will do what the Scots, Irish, Welsh, Americans etc have failed to do, and continue to up in their droves. I assume the pub in qustion is normally not packed on a Sunday?

    smoking may be banned, but could they burn tobacco in little trays so you can inhale it?

    The Fulwich in Dartford opened up the beer garden for the first time in about 8 years yesterday, suffice to say it was packed and the pub was completely empty!

    in Ireland what's been the real blow to the pub industry is that the price of alcohol is a joke.

    no apparently the real 'blow' has been the smell of beer farts!

    It was yesterday. People drink those real ales, they stink. Simple as.

    The masking quality of cigarette smoke is unappreciated, the pub was a mix of stale beer, farts and disinfectant. Obviously much preferable to the hint of smoke.

    We're all going to hell in a handcart
