If you don't smoke please don't answer this.

I was just typing away at my computer, when the thought struck me if I was to work from home, when the smoking ban comes in, because I would be using my house as works premises would I no longer be allowed to smoke at home, even if I'm the only one working and living here?

I apologise for the title but I am just curious about the answer to that one question,
I do not want or need the high and mighty brigade lecturing me on my shoulds and should not's!

Any interference will be treated with short shrift* (whatever that means) so really I am asking for answers from smokers and the tolerant.

* I've just enjoyed a google and it seems short shrift is shakespeare's fault.

you had better work from home in case they bring in a law regarding being ugly in a public place.

entwisi · 10-05-2006, 06:53

You? Work?

Less, I never thought I'd hear those words together

You'll be alright if you turn your home into a laboratory for smoking beagles, or indeed kippers.

i would say you would end up getting a huge fine and have to sack yourself on the spot for gross misconduct and be escorted of the premisis

so as well as been skint you will be homeless

What's long shrift?

You'll probably have to ask yourself for permission to smoke and give yourself a written contract (in triplicate) signed in blood.

Quite seriously, I am wondering about this. My boss chain smokes cigars. He and his wife own the building we work in. Why should someone be able to tell him he can't smoke on his own premises? Perhaps we should move a bed into one of the offices so we can class it as a home?

WillowTheWhisp · 10-05-2006, 11:24

Maybe we should have jobs for smokers and jobs for non-smokers? So the smokers can all puff away in peace with no-body to grumble about it.

Yes I have spent the last few years watching it and have come up with a theory:-
Anything entwisi claims to do can't be that difficult!

Well done, you've just talked yourself out of a highly paid job, I was considering using you as my stunt double when it came to the difficult tasks, such as getting out of bed!

This guy is almost perfect as my 'stunt double',
except for the technical error he has made.
karma to the first one that spots it.
(this is easy).
