The new landlady Denise Keay and her husband moved in last Friday 3rd September, they are doing a refurb, and hope to be open by the end of September. It's on a freehold so the drinks should be a bit cheaperMartin Bentleyhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=121700088539&ref=tsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172766774137902766.post-10822410998141373882010-08-06T14:34:52.445+01:002010-08-06T14:34:52.445+01:00Sorry to hear about the Fleece.

Just about to spend a few days in Cullingworth too!<br /><br />As someone who was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer 10 months ago and a life-long non-smoker, aged 46, I am less sympathetic to smokers as nine out of 10 people with lung cancer are or have been smokers.<br /><br />However, smoking is all about personal choice and people should be able to do what they like in their own personal space. A room set aside for smokers in a pub is certainly preferable to allowing people to smoke in a pub garden, where the smoke always seems to waft my way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172766774137902766.post-6485743926000916332010-08-01T13:54:19.598+01:002010-08-01T13:54:19.598+01:00I've been know to have the odd cig and it'...I've been know to have the odd cig and it's a real turn off not being able to have one with a drink in the pub. The summer isn't so bad, a lot of pubs have put covered areas outside so that even if it's raining it isn't a problem, as it's reasonably warm (mostly!), but the winter is a nightmare. What IS fascinating is that friends congregate together, smokers and non, in the smoking area - suggesting that it isn't Joe Public that has a problem with smokers. <br /><br />Why pubs weren't just required to have a room set aside with good air filtration, for smoking, is a mystery. Unless it was tacitly recognised that any room would never be big enough for the smokers and all their mates? <br /><br />A prime example of the Nanny State at it's most officious. Lunacy - the losers are, as you say, the pubs themselves. But will the current Govt. ever have the steel to reverse it? Sadly, I suspect not.Pam Nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371835641538430316noreply@blogger.com
