It's a strange world isn't it?

We all used to know pubs that had a lock in and served after time, then the drinking law was changed and in theory they can now stay open 24/7.

Not long after that though the smoking ban was introduced, now, (although sadly not within the bounds of Hyndburn everyone around here is far too lawful to contemplate such a thing!), we all know of pubs that call last orders wait for the strangers to leave, out come the ash-trays, (yes the pubs kept them), and...

Yippeee! let's have a smoke-in.
