I didn't realise just how bad it was Barrie until I worked at Celtic supporters club around 1971 (both are as bad as each other) we were fitting new bars and ceilings in the concert room, the bar had small horra glass panels in a bar screen about 9" x 7" and one was blue, a committee man informed use that it must be removed or a fist would be put through it within 2 minutes on opening night, it was replaced. A the end of the job. on the last day, the carpet fitters arrive to fit the brand new carpet, it was a lovely colour of blue, asking the same committee man who told us about the bar screen we said whats this a blue carpet, his answer was, I kid you not, you walk on that
As a rider to that about 3 weeks later I was on a snagging trip, calling round at different venues making miner adjustments and replacements and we called at that club, as we walked into the room I couldn't believe my eyes, this rehash was only three weeks old and around every table you couldn't see the carpet for cigarette burns
when the floor is full of fag ends please use the ashtrays
