Lee54 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Maybe this is something that Stu Peters could look into. Are Tynwald about to do a U Turn on smoking in Pubs after pressure from the Brewery, thus allowing some public houses that have the facility to have internal designated smoke room open.

The ban isn't just to protect smokers from themselves; it is also to protect workers from second-hand smoke. A designated smoke room would have to be entered by pub employees for cleaning.

S Yes agreed. But did you know that Douglas Courthouse has a smoke room. I can look out of the office window and watch the Islands top Female Advocate smoking her head off and chucking the buts out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Erin Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Six pubs are closing every day in the UK now, due to a combination of factors...smoking ban, bad weather, cheap supermarket ale, etc. I wonder how long H & B can afford to keep their empty pubs open all hours, without making a concerted effort to attract customers. I'm just waiting for the next price hike...Carlsberg have just raised their prices by 3%, MEA up 16%, SP freight charges increase and the minimum wage goes up at the end of this month to £6 a hour. Times are tough, but H & B don't get any sympathy off me. They have killed the nightlife off on this Island with crap refurbishments, sky high prices, crap food and piss poor management. H & B haven't got a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they even held their own do at the Bushys beer tent this TT - concrete proof that they can't organise a piss up in their own brewery. .

Saltire Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 On ITV1 8pm tonight, see the damage the smoking ban is having on businesses and employment I watched this. Had to laugh at the publican in Newcastle who wasn't pleased about supermarkets selling cheap booze. He said that in a pub you are drinking in a controlled environment and they will refuse to serve you once you have had too much, but if you buy a case of lager and drink it at home it is uncontrolled and you could drink too much. He was obviously just concerned for our welfare, and not the fact that people aren't buying his more expensive beer! Don't know about you, but when I buy a case of beer for my fridge I can usually resist the temptation to guzzle 24 cans in one night. As an adult I generally know when I have had enough whether I am in the pub or at home. I do actually feel sorry for pubs, and it would a shame to see some close and people lose their jobs, but the above publican just seemed to be blaming customers for buying cheap supermarket booze. Who can blame them when their own finances are tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee54 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Super markets in the UK are selling cans of beer at 22p, but a landlord of a pub is tied and has to pay the same brewery 123p per can, yet the beer comes from the same brewery, it cant just be buying power by the supermarkets.
