Thanks for your support - and thanks for subscribing.
I only hope some sort of amendment can be reached before we lose all our traditional pubs (not these plasticky family carveries we have now which make McDonalds look atmospheric).
Since we made this video a year ago we're up to 50/60 pubs a week closing in October 2009. The nannies don't care because they never used traditional 'wet' pubs anyway. They're too busy building careers bossing people about.
I totally agree especially with the statement about how we'd have more of an understanding of the ban if they just admitted that they hate smokers. Blimey, we know it's bad for us, and we don't purposefully blow smoke in non smokers faces! Why can't there be a place for us smokers? Make both parties happy? But no, all it ever is, is snobbish remarks and filthy looks, like you're sub-human and deserve no respect. Smoking ban? = Whatever. People who treat you like shit for smoking = ZERO TOLERENCE
I'm not a smoker but do believe people should have the right to smoke if they want to!!!!
In the US people are just so fucking scared of it, I always tell people who go away smoking they cigs that I could care less and they can just stay where they are and if I'm bothered I can move along.
Great!! I had written off England as a vacation destination, but if there are there a bunch of these aoround the country I might just reconsider. Some guy in Wales did the same thing. How many are there and is there anywhere I can find a list?
I have a recording studio (upstairs from the pub) and I'm currently recording an album of silly songs taking the piss out of the government. When it's finished I'll be posting some of it on youtube. This is a clip of one of those songs!
Thanks to everyone who's posted with their support and encouragement. I wasn't expecting that response! I thought there might be some Nazi Nannies on the war path after seeing this vid. I'm sure they wouldn't like to see a legal smoking pub in operation even though it makes absolutely no difference to them. Hairychestnuts recommends freedom2choose so I'll sign up to offer our support. Thanks everybody. Mervin
Good on you! I try my best to have this evil piece of legislation repealed with Freedom 2 Choose, but I haven't had the nads to actually do something, like you have.
That is superb, it looks very homely, just like pubs used to look. Glad more can see the ban for what it is. Your right also about it not just being about the smoking ban.

Hi Mr & Mrs Mervintoot :) Found your great pub through Hairychestnuts' link at the freedom2choose forum. You've got a great little pub there and I could almost smell the atmosphere of fun, something sadly lacking since the smoking ban experiment. It's time to get the smokers back where they belong, in the pubs.
Hi Mervintoot (and Mrs Mervintoot), my first comment attempt didn't register so I'll try again... Fantastic set up you've built yourself there, I thought at first it really was a pub.
Thanks for the invite and the shout out at the end, I'm flattered.
Are you a member of freedom2choose? If not I've posted a link on the forum, the gang will love your solution to the ASHites reign of terror.
ROFL-- "Nazi nannies have to stand in a bucket of poo outside and watch normal people doing what they used to do..."
And, no, it isn't about smoking. The obvious response isn't, "The next thing they come after might be something you like." No, there's no "maybe" about it. The reality to nonsmokers and antismokers is, "You ARE next." Period.
Well, hey, it's a good thing smokers are so good-natured! We'll have fun no matter what. :-)
Fantastic and cheers to both of you and your smoking pub!
Hope the both of you are doing well and are surviving this hot summer.
Poor Phil--I think he came back from his vacation too soon, and the stress of the reality hit him so hard, he's playing with dolls! lol :)
I'm still looking for my Kahlua, and I'm now in the Bermuda Triangle! ...OMG what's that? I see something! It's weird... 0.0

Excellent :-) Proper pub atmosphere, and no fascist hectoring nannying eugenicist lifestyle medicine wankers allowed. Perfect!

As you say Freedom is indivisible. I look forward to being made to wear a crash helmet in my house and paying tax on it.

Never surrender, the antis and their corrupt government backers are on the road to ruin. We will win back what was stolen from us, our freedom.

Excellent pub you have there, I'm planning to do that too with a shed that has heat/ac.
One thing you are missing - Dart Board!!!
Start an Inner-House Dart league.
House parties rule.
