I was in the Rockcliffe arms in Whitley Bay last night and the effect on custom was certainly un-noticeable. What was different though was something I had not thought of. There seemed to be a dominoes competion going on and between each game people were poping out for a smoke. It seemed, very oddly, more like a 'sporting event' than it ever seemed before with defined times between 'Game on' and breaks. Everyone seemed to be happy with th earrangement anyway:-)

Off to the Black Horse tonight for my first smoke free open mic. night.

Cheers

Dave
