Yet again they are putting the landlord under pressure (as if he doesn't have enough to cope with), a £200 fine for not displaying a no smoking sign & I think it's a £2,500 fine if he doesn't enforce the no smoking policy!

Good-bye staggers been nice knowing you, if the strain of no smoking doesn't kill you the fines will starve you to death!
