I think it's a shame that b3ta is endorsing this sort of nanny state bullying.
Pubs are great.
YAY FOR PUBS!

Fuck off and smoke a fag in your car.

Listen sonny, I fought in two world wars so people like you could eat bananas and live in a democracy.

The government won't be happy until every pub is a Tesco local and we all go comatose on our sofas cuddling a box of 24 cans for £9.99
and then burn the house down because of unattended cigarettes in the only place we can legally enjoy them now.

Or electrocuting our entire houses down to the ground with e-cigarettes whilst watching Britain's Got Talent :'(

E-cigarettes give out cancer-causing particles and the em radiation they emit causes brain tumours.
Or so I read on the internet, anyway.

Yes, drinking overpriced (often poorly kept) booze, in the company of total strangers, is a great way to spend your time.
With any luck, all the shit pubs will go out of business, and only the good ones will survive. More likely, Wetherspoons will emerge triumphant, the Walmart of hostelries.

I'm concerned that you class Wetherspoons as a 'good' pub.
Then again, who cares about atmosphere so long as their rancid, out of date, watered-down fizzy french piss is cheap.

Also, I've had food poisoning only four times in my life so far. Three of those occasions were after eating at a Wetherspoons the evening before. Funny, that.

No, Wetherspoons is the antithesis of a good pub.

Hmm, I've now read your post again.
For some reason I read 'more' as 'most' the first time round. It's too early to use drink as an excuse, too.

Here, have a watered-down pint, to commiserate.
