Smoking Ban

Having enjoyed the no smoking laws in pubs in Ireland on various trips over there in the last few years, it was great to visit our local pub this evening for the 1st time since the smoking ban came into effect here in England. Our local is quite a small enclosed pub where you could literally see the cloud of smoke when you walked in. This evening was great - it was like a different place and still as bustling as ever for a Friday evening.

Yay that's fantastic, I'm so glad to hear the smoking ban has finally made it to England :-)

Apparently it's going to be brought to France too! Now that would be an absolute miracle...

Hope you're both well

About blinkin time! Call me a hypocrite if you like, but I've always hated smokey public places and think its about time England caught up with Ireland and other "good example-setting places" on the Smoking Ban. Hopefully, as well as providing fresher smelling, healthier, social venues it also encourages the weak amongst us to at least cut down but hopefully quit?!
