They still don't realise they are in the sights. CAMRA will, in the future, be the new word for 'suicide by stupid'.<br /><br />It no longer matters what they ban or where. Smoky-drinky will continue even if we have to grow our own tobacco and brew our own booze. Always has, always will.<br /><br />Pubs don't want smokers in them, fine. Find, or set up, a smoky-drinky group and don't go to the pubs. They don't want us, they have said so.<br /><br />When they're all gone we can start fresh with Smoky-Drinky places becoming the New Pubs.<br /><br />Really, they leave no other option for us now.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-80049546182496282892010-07-28T22:42:25.502+01:002010-07-28T22:42:25.502+01:00Mike Brenner of CAMRA at a

I was offered beer by the nurses as they said it helped replace the lost fluid from the burns and the alcohol helped with the pain from burns. I ordered in crates of the stuff from my mates and I still lost weight. One morning I'd filled so many of those carboard bottle things with piss, the nurse knocked them over whilst giving me breakfast. My slippers floated under the bed.
