So what’s the rules they’re looking to bring in?
At first sight it looked harsh, but now I have a child I do think differently about smoking. Most people aren’t as considerate as you bags, it really frustrates me if I’m somewhere with my daughter and someone starts smoking next to us.
Half the time at the football someone has a few puffs of their ecig and the smoke blows in my face. Why should I have to breathe it in because someone can’t go 45 minutes without a puff?
Perhaps a ban on public places is harsh, but I’d certainly have a smoking section in the garden. If you go to some, the whole thing is like a cloud of smoke. Why should non smokers have to sit inside when it’s sunny, or otherwise have to breathe in someone’s second hand smoke?

There really should be designated areas, as far away from non smokers as possible, clearly marked. To be honest, smokers don't need much space, just a little area, with an ashtray, that would do us just fine.

Hands up…… who knew this was a thing ? Not by that name although PFI has been around for a long time and Gordon Brown was a fan. Keeps costs off the government books. If you want to see real madness, dare you to Google Annington Homes MOD and Airtanker. 🤬

Last time I looked Blair/Brown's PFI deals cost (and will cost) every subsequent government at least £2bn every year from 2010-2030 and at least £1bn every subsequent year until 2040. If a company rigged their books like that someone would be in jail by now....

I usually try and give the benefit of the doubt, but watching her with Boris it was so obvious it was embarrassing.

Not signing up to the Torygraph….. what’s it say ? Link should have been okay, must have timed out or changed and I can't get it either without signing up. Plymouth named best city to live and work, Bristol second with Reading, Swindon, Southampton, Exeter, Oxford, Edinburgh, Norwich and York. Worst included London, Birmingham, Manchester, Swansea and Middlesbrough.
