Both also provide the option of white or coloured parts so you can make it look like a cigarette when you want to wind up the Righteous, and make it look like not-a-cigarette when you want to be left alone.<br /><br />PT Barnum - the reporting and fines associated with this ban are enforced with much more gusto than the ban on, say, murder. Fines can be, and have been, imposed on the mere say-so of a council official whose word in court is worth twice that of any real person.<br /><br />So it's not surprising that business owners are scared shitless of anything that looks like smoking. A prodnose can put them out of business with a word.<br /><br />That's why I always check with the bar staff first. Then, if a prodnose tries to report 'smoking', the bar staff can say 'No he isn't'.<br /><br />As for those bars that don't allow it at all and who react as if I'd just showed them a box of rabid badgers, well, their business, their choice. But I won't be going there often, and not at all when the weather is bad.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-56876159801621780602010-06-26T08:37:17.380+01:002010-06-26T08:37:17.380+01:00If a bar or pub is run by folk with enough intelle...If a bar or pub is run by folk with enough intellectual equipment that they don't go all wibbly and order No Efags Here, it seems only fair that the flashing lights are blue, whatever the efag happens to be. We need to be mutually conspiring with each other, we sensible folk. Baiting prodnoses is great fun, but if it's done at the expense of a business which employs commonsense, is it worth it?PT Barnumnoreply@blogger.com
