Haven't you ever felt weary after a flight that doesn't cross enough timelines to cause jetlag? That's because the air is of poorer quality.<br />Ironically, passengers are suffering more because of the ban than before!Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09798954949633278383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-76168176153547072702011-07-10T23:58:14.755+01:002011-07-10T23:58:14.755+01:00Xopher - actually I'm quite happy for all the ...Xopher - actually I'm quite happy for all the children to be corraled in the pubs, clubs and restaurants.<br /><br />I never go in them any more.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-43109208008570826472011-07-10T23:56:56.358+01:002011-07-10T23:56:56.358+01:00Curmudgeon - children were never seen in pubs in t...Curmudgeon - children were never seen in pubs in the old days. Well, certainly not the shitholes I used to drink in. <br /><br />They were never attractive as a family outing destination. The antismokers never visited either.<br /><br />They're all closed now.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-51725273894797424192011-07-10T23:47:43.477+01:002011-07-10T23:47:43.477+01:00And they are going broke too, Mr C.

It's the kiss of death when a pub becomes a creche.<br /><br />Even during the times I did not smoke, I opted for a smoking seat on aircraft. No children, you see. Now they are stacked with screaming bastards from stem to stern.<br /><br />@Mr Xopher <br />They might screech less if you do not force their faces into the lavatory pan.Twenty_Rothmansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-23729657938210753072011-07-10T23:42:14.549+01:002011-07-10T23:42:14.549+01:00Ban children from adult places - they are injuriou...Ban children from adult places - they are injurious to Social Health.<br />Fro god's sake, we suffer them all day every day and now we can't get away from them!
