ANY sensible person will acknowledge that the ill-thought-out Labour smoking ban has been disastrous for the licensed trade.
Surely a room could have been set aside whereby no bar person would be affected, with smokers going into the main bar to buy a drink.
However, recently I have noticed an increase in loud crude swearing, and in some pubs and clubs this seems to be accepted more as a norm.
Also, noisy mobile phone talk is a real annoyance when people are trying to relax.
Breweries and publicans should put notices up banning swearing and long mobile phone conversations, then everyone would be happy Easter bunnies.
