    Great picture. The days of lighting up in British Pubs are long gone.

    Edit: Most would say that's a good thing.

    Here as well. It's pretty much getting to the point where, if you want to smoke in California, you need to drive to Nevada.

    Thanks guys,

    we had a good time as always with guinness from tap.

    In Germany smoking is also forbidden in most pub. Only some that meet several criteria are allowed for smoking and then not in every state.
    1. not more than 75 square meters
    2. no fresh prepared food
    3. you must be over 18
    4. it must be marked as a smoking location

    Even here in Nevada smoking is being pushed out of any pub that serves food. The pub that the wife and I frequent doesn't serve food but is still a no-smoking pub.

    Hi Folks,

    and to me, the GOS in the middle, it's always like a Bank Holiday if we have our monthly meeting in that pub, enjoying three or four bowls of delicious tobacco, drinking some freshly draghted beer and have fun with some pals.

    Chreerio my friends !!

    Now, you can eat as much red meat as you want in a pub - but if you want a quiet smoke, it's outside in a lean-to or some old shed.

    Nice to see how others do it - and doing it kilted as well!

    Regards

    You get a lean-to?...wow...'round here they just stand out there lookin' miserable.
