I showed it to the guys at work and they liked the pic and they reckonrd it was a good idea. I visited while down and I liked it and it does look good in the way that it is saying "I am here pay a visit you will enjoy" so no chatting up as I am not that way inclined.

No offence taken by the way (as its you) it happens.

The Oaklea have made provision to let the sun shine through (hopefully in the Summer) by their electric roof. So will suit all customers .. very pleasant, hope to visit.

the oaklea will get my custom well done

My pub has quite a large beer garden, and we have quarter of it has a canopy over it. We are having heaters installed in the next few weeks.

There's an article about smoking canopies in today's Observer, as well as associated 'smoke speak'.

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_ne...ticle_continue

Can't wait to start smirting.

Reads a bit like a panic article. They are right about the cowboys though as they are going to make a few bob out of the short cut takers. It has to be seen as stated as an investment for the future of the business. It cant be seen as an expense not worth worrying about. Pubs that dont have them up here are loosing custom because of it and are not gaurenteed to regain the lost custom if they belatedley decide to fit them.

Once it settles down it will be ok as it is starting in the summer.

Just so long as it doesn't lead to any smighting!

Outdoor smoking areas have become familiar in Ireland since its ban came in three years ago. But the Irish government is now looking at the possibility of banning the structures amid concerns that many pubs are flouting the law.

That doesn't make a lot of sense!

I think the June meet should definetly be on Saturday 30th of June.

It will be fun to see what happens at midnight, when the ban comes in.

I might be undercover that night as one of the 130,000 people being employed to catch smokers at it.

If only the government could find enough money to pay the wages of 130,000 home helps for the elderly instead, I'd feel a lot happier, and probably less inclined to smoke.

29.5 million is to be spent on wages of undercover spies, to make sure the ban is carried out in pubs.

At a time when care for the elderly is being cut back all the time, that amount of money is a disgraceful.

Hi, you lot,
We had the ban last year on June 1st. When midnight came everyone had to go out side. You can't smoke anywhere in Montreal, no pubs, restaurants, public places. So you see cig butts all over the streets. They have decided to put huge ash trays outside all the metro stations. I have to smoke outside at work, and when its 20 c below it gets pretty cold. I usually manage a quick couple of puffs then run back in.

The bars over here are trying to take it to court, its supposed to be a free country isn't it. There's some bars that have canopies outside and heaters which is not bad. But still some people complain out side on the terrace, so now they've split them up as "smoking" and "non smoking" sides, which I find ridiculous.
