CorkerSWFC Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 10 cans of carling for 7 quid in Sainsburys, you can smoke in your own house, watch what you want, say what you want, invite who you want. Wheres the incentive to go to the ale house these day's unless your meeting the lads for the match or going for something to eat with the family.

NERVY-OWL Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The only pubs that have closed are the ones which haven't changed and adapted with the times. Pub Co owned pubs will continue to close, not because people cant smoke, but because they squeeze every last penny out of landlord through silly rents for pubs that are falling down and charging them through the nose for beer through the tie arrangements. This pushes the retail price to customers up and they stop going. Why go to your local when you can go to a wetherspoons pub and pay £1.50 per pint less for the same stuff? exactly! with that happening and supermarkets selling cheap booze theres no wonder pubs are closing, not because of smoking ban. i go to the pub more now it's non smoking, happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livewirex Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 With less choice of which pub to choose , due to the mass closure of pubs since the smoking ban was introduced. Have you spotted the conection ? So nothing to do with people having less money to spend then? With Beer at arround three Pounds a pint and another thirty pence due to go on it soon. Perhaps we have more important things to spend our money on like food and fuel(Gas, Electricity and Petrol) http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/01/22/price-of-pint-of-beer-to-go-up-by-30p-115875-22866441/ To me the smoking ban means i now do go into pubs, so perhaps there would have been more pubs closing if the smoking ban hadn't come in when it did (speaking personally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftlad Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 why do you think pub are so empty.i think this can be layed at the door of the smoking ban what do you think. plenty of good pubs closed before the smoking ban. i am sorry but if you cannot go without a fag for a few hours, you are a very sad person i am glad the smoking ban came into place because my clothes dont stink after a night out now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clothes smell better with nictotine on them. It's a proven fact. I saw it on BBC 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longy67 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The smoking ban is the best thing that ever happened At least I can actually taste my over priced pint now! Here, here, best thing ever, and blaming it for the demise of pubs, what a load of tosh, smokers and fat people, the victim mentality.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
