You know you're in the UK when.............. you see more people outside a pub smoking than you see inside the pub drinking.

You know you're in the UK when the Jobcentre tell you to call their local number instead of the 0845 number on their letters, because their call handling centre has cut the number of staff.
Hire more people, you idiots! |

Yer right there. :rofl: Being a none smoker I really laugh at the poor smokers who have to go outside of a pub in the middle of winter to get a fix of their drug addiction and come back in dishevelled and frozen. :rofl::nod: |

Re: You know your in the UK when .....
I cant say we have experienced groups of smokers outside pub doors, there tend to be smoking areas off to the side somewhere.

I can't be arsed having to keep asking them to keep the doorway clear. I don't deny that a smoker has as much right as I to go to the pub and visit, but I can't stand having to walk through the smoke to get to the smoke free parts:( |

Yes I always laugh too, with so many pubs closing you would think the trade would cotton on to the fact that people don't want to start an evening out with a lungful of 2nd hand smoke.
1. The smoking ban 2. The pressure put on pub tenants in terms of rent and beer price by the Pubcos 3. The availability of cheap beer through supermarkets. |
