Now, skipy, you know that is far from true! I would like to read that auto-biography that you are writing for the kids and, if I am still around, see it continue for a good many years yet:-) The only reason I was asking you those questions is to prove the point that the smoking ban is not having the effect you predicted. I guess from your lack of response that your pub has not closed? Yes? Nor have, as you say, the organisations you are involved in affected. Your other community activity, from whence your name comes, is a good outdoor one anyway and you can smoke to your hearts contect while re-cycling other peoples cast offs:-)

Guest, Guest. I am allowing skipy an opinion just as he is allowing mine. It is called two people disagreeing in an adult and, hopefuly, constructive manner. What is the problem with that? Next, I didn't ask you to disclose any personal information on the forum. Send a message to my hotmail account. I guess Long Millgate is non-UK? unless it is the Long Millgate in Manchester, in which case I am sure we will have met in the Hare and Hounds. Once again - mail me. Until then you are just amongst the ranks of people I do not know, don't really want to know and have no reason to show regard for.

Cheers

Dave
