Never entered a pub since the smoking ban came in.
Wouldn't have minded going to a smoking area and not upsetting anyone else, but if I have to stand outside then I'll get my drinks from Tesco on the way for a fraction of the price and keep them in my manbag.

Ever since Churchill Jr my capacity for booze has been greatly diminished.
Not a bad thing really, I suppose.

Originally posted by suityou01 View PostIs the days of Derek and Clive -esque drinking gone? I like nothing better than supping a pint of real ale in the company of friends chatting around a table, but pubs don't seem to lend themselves to this "old skool" format. Even if you find a decent pub, it's bound to have either a "gastro" bit tacked on it, or be within spitting distance of a nightspot so turn into a pub to club joint on a Friday evening between 7 and 10.
Does anyone else like drinking real beer, with squirrels and twigs floating in it? Or are you more a wine bar person?
Poll follows :
We just don't go to any kind of pub where you can't. Yes I know what that means: we now never go to a British pub in Britain any more (were out in a Scottish pub in Germany last night, and an Irish pub in the same town the night before, both smoking).

At home drinker these days with an odd trip to the pub(Isn't it expensive these days!) . Little too much. Bottle of wine a night and maybe a beer or glass of spirits.
Cut down since Saturday, only two bottles and a glass of whisky this week.

Proper pub without music, or cocktail bar, are my choices. Clubs and noisy bars are crap.
