You are dead right there Morti.
Most pubs, particularly Wetherspoons are more like flipping creshes rather than pubs!
Around a month ago there was a Woman Breast feeding a baby in a very public part of our local WETHERSPOONS here in Colwyn Bay.
Fair put me off me beer that did!

And later the same woman was having a fag outside while her partner or whatever sat with the baby inside.
How sweet and thoughtful of them!

Re: Should smoking be banned outside?

There come a time in every man's life when he has been pushed too far. The anti-smokers have pushed me too far. Now, I say, 'No more'. If I'm outside and someone says something about my smoking, I reply, "Shut up. Get the hell away from me."

Re: Should smoking be banned outside?

I used to smoke in the 7os --but I hate it now -just smells awful -funny how we change in time ---
dont think smokers should be standing outside a works building in little groups puffing away 'firms can make shelters

for them on the private grounds....or bike shed lol ''' some firms have special rooms for smokers 'with air con blowers-
people enjoy the right to smoke ...as long as its private ..

Re: Should smoking be banned outside?

Strange how we accept two gays kissing in a pub but not a smoker having a fag outside.....I can tell you which one would have been accepted in the pit village where I grew up....

Exactly ! Life used to be enjoyable. Now that the self-righteous fanatics have taken over, I never, ever, go out to a restaurant or bar. NEVER !

For those people who think the entire world is supposed to smell like roses, I say, "Ah, too bad. Get used to it. Get a life"

Two guys kissing does no one any harm, whereas passive smoking can! Only sick bigots think there is anything wrong with homosexuality.

Re: Should smoking be banned outside?

But you do have to see the irony of this ...
Smokers shoved to stand outside puffing away .... where all the exhaust and pollution is chugging away.

Perhaps equal for all would apply if we all walked around with stickers on our backs rating our own pollutant level .... points for smoking, driving, flying.
I'd stand next to Einstein ( who smoked) and feel a little chuffed.

So Tara .... you can get to play Judge on this one.

Imagine if you will ..
Morty, the pig, that's me ... bouncing down the road in my high heels, minding my own business .... and , wait for it ... smoking a cigarette.
A big hunk of a guy strides passed. Looks at me. Frowns ... and spat at me.

I suspect you'd say the chap was doing a public service.
