Its the no smoking ban and the high price of a pint thats closing the pubs and the clubs, we went out evey weekend but not anymore, rather stay at home and have friends round that way you can have a smoke when you want without a medaling interfering government telling you that you cant smoke anymore. Well done Gordon another piece of useless legislation adding to the down turn of the economy. remember the promises that the none smokers would fill the pubs and clubs, were are they?
