Rampent Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Stood at the bus stop today, yeah I know, and this old lady blasted me for smoking! 'I could get cancer from that yer berk' she shouted. Now, as you all know, I am a gentleman. So I shouted back 'You will have more chance of getting cancer of my ciggy than winning the lottery you old bint' I left it at that. And sat on the bus, having a crafty swig of vodka and a smoke at the back. We all do, don't we? Why do peeps bang on about this stuff? Shirley her chances of catching cancer from my fag in the open air is nil. It's not like she had many years left in her . . . Opines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgksheff Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 You are entitled to smoke outdoors True. But you are not permitted, by law, to smoke within the confines of a 3-sided bus shelter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampent Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 What up wit Lada, Ramp? Just getting it reshod with 125/11's remoulds on each corner. Tyre bloke said yesterday, but had to re order due to the them being special one off specs, or something. Last thing I want is to get pulled with slicks on again.

It's always windy at the bus stop, even in summer. Is someone down the road going to die because I have a fag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Take your ruler with you: The actual definition laid down in the smoking ban legislation defines a building as 'substantially enclosed' if it has 'a ceiling or roof, but has an opening in the walls, which is less than half the total area of the walls.

But that is hadly relevant if it is a designated non smoking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all to tricky. From reading that, a bus stop is OK then? I can understand Pon Street having a ban, but a crappy bus on the Manor?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 But that is hadly relevant if it is a designated non smoking area. Unless it is wrongly designated. As many bus shelters are. A sticker alone does not make it illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
