That ban on smoking in the workplace might be a something of a chore.

I smoke in work, in my office, so do some of my employees in a room I've set aside for that purpose. I don't mind them smoking at all. Will I have smoking police checking on me, I wonder.

That'll be weird.

if you work in a small company you decide whether to abide or not.

now that i come to think of it - i have never in my life seen an employee of walmart,sears, sainsburies etc etc smoking a fag at work

This time, tho', the ban on smoking in some pubs will help me stay quitted.

Quality :happy:

:lol:

Like people can quit drinking.

[JPaul]

The English MPs wimped out and diluted the legislation.

Not so in Alba.

[Virtualbody1234]

Some Dick 'ed.

Some Dick 'ed.I don't drink in all of them :huh:

As it's transpired thro' both chance and design, my favoured establishments for imbibing alcoholic beverages are also eateries.

I trust this fully qualifies my statement, dick 'ed.

Nobody really knows what "food-free" pubs actually means. It could be, that if you sell crisps, nuts & pork scratchings, you are not a food-free pub... :blink:

[Barbarossa]

Apparently 1 in 5 pubs will give up serving food to get round the ban. :mellow:

[DarthInsinuate]

I can see it now. It'll be like the Probation again. There'll be speakeasies that sell bootleg Sunday roasts.

They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone.

Will it be the end for Betty's Hotpots in teh Rovers Return? :huh:

my local pub gives out free hot dogs at half time during scotland internationals and old firm games. i america they used to give us free chilli during packers games.

[peat moss]

Its been tryed here but the pubs and restaurants screamed long and hard .
You should have a choice and I don't go to a smoke free place unless I'm with the kids or going to a movie .

Use to smoke while working the lines @ the boys soccer games 5 years ago but would n't think of doing now . Were a dying breed in more ways than one .

[Proper Bo]
