To put the matter of food and cooking smells in pubs and clubs into context - they were always there, wherever food was prepared and served. However, before the smoking ban, you didn't notice them on your clothes because they were masked by the even worse stench of other people's fags. Same thing applies with regard to dirty, unwashed buggers' BO.

It's a PITA that your clothes smell of food and cooking after a pub visit but, on the positive side, I never heard of anyone contracting lung-cancer from the smell of the sausage, egg and chips the guy at the next table was eating!
