We smokers were forced outside, if we are lucky a bit of a shed for shelter as the dedicated smoking area and then we have to suffer the irony of a very few non smokers coming into this area on sunny days complaining about the smell of smoke, well Doh! you have the whole of the inside of the pub leave us this one little area in peace.

True what it has done to the pub trade, my dad for one does not go out anymore apart from once a fortnight when he meets with his brother.
But at best part of £3 per pint who wants to go out all the time, i for one cant afford it running a house is hard enough
