i love it when it comes to drinkers fag breaks and everyone shouts 'GOODNITE' when they all start flocking outside haha

Re: Accrington pubs
 

we now have some pubs trying
to stop non smokers from going outside
to join smoking companions

Re: Accrington pubs
 

And why not? They can't have it all their own way all of the time. Did you read the Telegraph? The owners of a cafe in Darwen are not allowing non-smokers to use the seats outside which were put there for the social outcasts, now when the sun comes out they want to sit in the midst of all that smoke thus running the risk of passive smoking. Talk about have your cake and eat it:confused:

Re: Accrington pubs
 

Totally agree,barstewards,they've forced us out onto the streets and now they wanna sit with us cos there's no atmosphere in the pubs,make yer feckin minds up,hopefully fat boy Brown will see sense and do away with the ban on smoking,he's gonna lose a lot of revenue cos of it,I've not stepped foot in a pub since I was stopped from smoking in one,I think they should put disclaimers on pub doors ' this is a smoking pub' f*ck off if ya don't like ciggy smoke,go to a pub that is non smoking,plenty of em,leave us smokers alone,rant over:D

Re: Accrington pubs
 

lol well said accy red

Re: Accrington pubs
 

Some of us approve of the smoking ban, I really like not smelling like an old ash tray when I get home.

Re: Accrington pubs
 

I appreciate that tobacco smoke permeates fabrics and is unpleasant for non smokers, but consider the alternative - the pubs will close one by one without the patronage of smokers, because their profit margins are too tight to wait for the time when the smokers have died off (albeit prematurely) and there is a whole new generation who want to use pubs and who dont smoke. By that time there wont be a pub to go to to get smelly in.

Re: Accrington pubs
 

hi can you tell me where you got this list from as i think it is very interesting. i wondered if there was more lists like this for clayton and surrounding areas.

Re: Accrington pubs
 

I'll see if I can find more.
There's this list for pubs in Oswaldtwistle from the History & Heritage forum:

That young man was called Michael Bartram.....he was just a couple of years younger than me and went to the same school.

George Clarkson...the owner lived on Higher Antley Street across from my Gran...his second wife was a Sister at Accy Vic......all totally irrelevant I know, but maybe of interest to someone out there.

Re: Accrington pubs
 

The lady that fell down the cellar was called Margaret Fielding and not the landlord, she left 2 kids aged 3 and 5 and was related to the Fieldings who had the Black Horse

Re: Accrington pubs
 

I'm only repeating the story Eileen told us back then.

Re: Accrington pubs
 

I am only saying whats true she was my sister-in-law that's how I know

Re: Accrington pubs
 

Fair enough.:) There was allsorts of whispers going around at that time after the landlady had told us that story. I'm not glad it was yer sister in law, but am glad the whispers were false. i rather liked eileen.

Re: Accrington pubs
 

we were told someone pushed her but we couldnt prove it :( there is a man (obviously old now) in Accrington that everytime he sees my neice he laughs at her about her mum!
