"The simple answer, when they banned smoking in pubs they destroyed the whole ethos! I used to go to the pub regularly, now I stay at home and have my tinnies...and my smokes. Case solved!" Me too, our thriving local is like a ghost town these days, it was the local tradesmen that popped in for a couple a day on the way home from work that put the most money over the bar, they don't bother now. 26% of us smoke, give us 1 pub in 4, this is a democracy isn't it! Still loosing pubs at a rate of 25 a week! Skipy
