I'll start with an easy one. Guess where this is:

I have never found any pleasure in sitting in home drinking a can of beer regardless of the cheap supermarket prices. I used to go to my local workingmen's club because I enjoyed the crack and could have a smoke with my pint, that stoped for me when this government brought in the smoking ban. The only time I visit a pub or workingmen's club is when I visit Bedlington and have a drink with old friends other than that Gordon can shove his no smoking ban up his jacksee cos I will not be going back to pubs or clubs until there are ashtrays on the table and I can light up. Sorry for the rant but I know I am not on my own with this one.

Lived in North Terrace from late 1976 ish till 1988, loved it cos it was when kids were allowed to be kids, kept being chased from the coalhouse rooftops, camping out in the shelters. Was a sad time when they pulled them down.

I used to live at Doctor terrace before it was pulled down have a few photos I will sort out and post here.

Black pudding and .... o - k... i do agree with the winging part tho. Ask my lass, she's sick of me moaning about every little thing! The thing is, if its a service, it normally results in something better... Bad Pint? Tell them! i've complained more than once, and been re-imbursed. Poor Service? Complain! Your paying for it! Get them telt! In the liong run they'll take it one of 2 ways. Constructivly, and improve whats wrong, or they'll spit the dummy out. Something i tend to do when i don't get my own way

the old "Heads i Win, Tails you Lose!" options eh?

Make that at least 3 Stephen!!!

I agree, banning smoking and drinking would not be the end of the world but would it be the begining of the end. As Mr D has said where would Gordon get his tax from. Banning everything and taking people's freedom of chioce away leads to nothing left except the air we breath, how long before the clown at number 10 starts to tax that? Just a thought. mercuryg, I understand the point you make about smoking not comming back but we are the people not Gordon and his cronies there only there to cary out our wishes and its time the people of this country got together and started making them do that. I am getting mighty sick of them telling me what I can do and cant do but have to listen to the lattest remarks (allegedly) I'm a cab for hire at £5000 a day, who do these idiots people think they are
