Sorry, Greg. Rubbish. if it's a smoking pub, you can choose for yourself whether to go in or not doesn't wash with me. I do not choose to stay out of my own folk club. I have been forced out. It is a club I have helped to run for over 25 years but my nasal passages are now sensitive to the extent that I can no longer tolerate smoke.

Am I asking too much that the 25% of smokers in our club (I think it is less actualy) give us non smokers a break? Do you think that they would do a deal where we had 3 nights out of 4 non-smoking? Would they hell. I'ts their right to smoke so why should they have the terrible inconvenience of moving 5 yards into another room to help me enjoy my night?

And there is NO pub in walking distance where I can get away from it, let alone a folk club.

Yes - it's a realy good choice I have isn't it? Have terrible health problems or never go out...

Cheers.
