Several large whiskies will do the job.

Just noticed .. Walmsley Arms have applied for an erection of slate roof timber frame, smoking area. Good business move. First of the many .. others will follow..

Well, seems you can by law maxwell, however, any landowner can specify what people do on their land, so up to the owners really. In other words, they could ask you not to smoke in their beer garden, even if in the open air, if they are that peevish.

Why not do as the French have been doing and say 'f.....you' & light up regardless.Is'nt about time we stood up for our freedom to do as we please(within the already existing laws),is'nt this what our forefathers fought the wars for?.Freedom

Yes, but the non smokers will then turn round and say they have the right to breathe clean air!

I think it will be a bit of a shock to the system for many of the older drinkers. Some have sat in the same seat, in the same pub having a pint & a ciggie most of their lives.

We have an electric canopy at the Oaklea that can be retracted when its warm. We also have outside heaters.

I keep changing my mind, on one hand I like to have a qucik ciggie whilst working if its quiet, but then on the other hand when I came to clean up last night, and people had put ice in ashtrays that had melted and made all the ash mush (if you don't want ice then say so. lol.) and people have put in chewing gum (just wrap it in a bit of paper!! lol.) that makes me feel like I cant wait for it to happen. Its disgusting, yes I think it is even though I smoke myself! We do have a fantastic beer garden, which is alright for customers, not so good for me if i'm working.

This is where the law really is an ass. You have made an enclosed space outside. How that can't be classed as enclosed I don't know.

Hardly enclosed Neil, still plenty of fresh air blowing through there ... think 'shelters' have to have at least two open sides which this does have.

The Oaklea have made provision to let the sun shine through (hopefully in the Summer) by their electric roof. So will suit all customers .. very pleasant, hope to visit.

and they are more than welcome to go find some, funny how non smokers preach about clean air then jump in their cars

personaly ime trying to give up ime all booked in at the smoking clinic but i have given up before and smoke in pubs didnt bother me and if it did i would go outside because pubs are expected to be smokey , the next thing people will complain about is the smell of beer in pubs
