How can the ban be doing ok when so many pubs are closing, and the buisnesses around pubs are failing?
Let's see, on average 27 pubs per month closing.
Say each pub has 4 bar staff (most have more than that, but who's counting
)
That's 108 bar staff put out of work every month.
I cannot say that that is a system that's working "OK".
My smoking has cut down quite a bit while i'm at work, but these days I only tend to go out when i'm working.
What's the point in going out with friends and family when I spend half the night outside?
And the tax thing?
Well i've already gone into that one well enough, and sorry Deb, with reference to the thread that prompted this one, you can't have the tax issue both ways
