To think that people smoking outside a restaurant are within their rights and perfectly entitled

[notplayers]

but still smelly, annoying PITAs?

yawn
this was done last week

I don't think it is allowed,

certainly not if they work there. most public sector jobs now have a rule you cannot smoke within half a km of council property, and lots of private sector jobs have similar rules about their own premises.

... and the week before.

One more fucking thread like this and we're all going to need to take up smoking, to cope.

Only for the few months a year when the weather is nice. Otherwise they are welcome to stand outside in the cold.

We never used to have endless threads about this

Another one? Really?

Today I was sat in a huge beer garden, plenty of tables, with my family inc. newborn baby and 3 year old DD and a couple sat right next to us and lit up. We ended up moving tables. Bit of consideration wouldn't go amiss!

Amazing the number of posters bored with the subject but still opening the thread to comment!

It was a trick thread title OP, to be fair

But they still opened it. It was perfectly clear what the subject was.
