I know I said I wouldn't argue with skipy anymore - I'm not! Big Phil, you say It would have been much easier just to let the Landlord decide on the smoking debacle. They HAVE had exactly that choice since Walter R brought the weed into this country. They decided that they couldn't be arsed to spend any money cleaning up the air. They would rather make money than help people live. There are 30 pubs near me. NOT A SINGLE ONE WAS NO SMOKING. Sorry to shout but there was not one pub I could go in without setting off an asthma attack. Is that fair? It is precisely because pubs did NOT offer the choice that the legislation had been brought in. No ifs buts (pun intended) or excuses. The pubs have brought this on themselves.
