JFKvsNixon Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 .......it's very much akin to smoking around hospital premises!If you approach the main entrance to the Hallamshire hospital the amount of people round the doorway smoking is unbelievable and a terrible health advert. Surely this should be banned,there are even patients that look at deaths door in wheelchairs smoking. I don't think alcohol should be sold at school plays! kids have the rest of their lives once left school to get bladdered at Uni and the like!...seeing adults boozing at a school play, somehow does not send the right message! Yes I know they see their parents drink at home,but that's their decision! It is banned, but not enforced. There's even a smoking shelter a few meters along that doesn't get anywhere near the same amount of use as the entrance doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know they see their parents drink at home,but that's their decision! To be fair to hospitals it IS banned, but patients and visitors blatantly ignore the signs. On my recent hospital stay I was tempted to start a photo blog of people smoking next to No Smoking signs to help pass the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Did you complain about it El Cid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Did you complain about it El Cid? Yes, I sent them an email asking for their age verification policy, would they sell to an 18 year old pupil, with ID, would they only sell to over 21s as some outlets do. Thinking about this, the Government web site says free water should be available, if they encouraged that, with free labeled bottled water, I would not be quite so against selling alcohol.

Why would they give bottled water away? It's no better than tap water anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Why would they give bottled water away? It's no better than tap water anyway.. Because people will mostly not ask for tap water, unless it is pushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamo Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Some schools ban canned sugary drinks, on that level, I dont believe a school is the right place. If was an after school social event where the parents could have a beer... they aren't selling cans of Special Brew to kids during maths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
