Well I still think that the best way not to feel back about having your contradictions pointed out is not to make them  ;)

I think you will find it was an entirely different group of people Jeremy Clarkson said should be shot as he is a very heavy smoker himself. ;)

I think this time of year i think you need compromise, most of the bars are quiet so why turn away the smokers? if there is a function going on and the place is full then they go outside for a smoke.


I agree fully but the law is in place now. My opinion always has been that there should be no laws, Turkey, UK or anywhere - if the majority non-smokers need smoke free bars then the free market would see that potential and provide them. Same with child free bars - how many can you name in Fethiye? If there was one, how long would it last? I'll tell you, till the day the bar is empty and next door is busy serving families.

Well I'd shoot them all (smokers and strikers ;))

We have had this discussion more than once or twice. My view is it's great to go out and not have to breathe in second hand smoke and have my clothes stink the next morning - but I do have some sympathy for those who want a fag or two with their drink. Maybe a smokers room could be the answer in some pubs but if they can't or won't provide one then in my opinion they should abide by the law and be made to go outside.

Even outside they should show some common courtesy and not blow their smoke over those eating close by.

Of course, he was speaking of strikers but I knew that and so does everyone else.
It was an attempt at some whimsy and mild amusement following the 'confrontation' that preceded my contribution.

My attempt was clearly unsuccessful.

Where they going to blow it then stoop, into a paper bag and take it home. ;)

It is a total mystery to me why we can't ever seem to have a decent discussion on here without someone making a scene and storming off when their opinion is challenged.





No, what you said wasn't that a bar is not a kids playground just because it is winter. What you said was "in my opinion Children should not be allowed in bars anyway". I will now leave this discussion due to it being ridiculous.




Your Post scunner !!


 You said it was ridiculous

 I agree!!
