I turn 31 at the end of this week, that feels like an age I really don’t identify with in any recognisable way.

A huge no-no, some pubs have outdoors areas with chairs and heaters etc, but some your only option is out in the street :joy:
And tbh most of those areas are occupied by people not smoking, especially in Summer

Smoking areas are consistently the best bit of being out.

They’re really good with outdoor heaters in mainland Europe. Reckon it’s because they’re a bit soft. Can smoke indoors in a lot of countries there though. Feels weird to me in bars, etc. but it’s great just sparking one up in a club.

We have a local dive bar here where after a certain hour the grizzled old owner just starts ripping them, ashtrays come pouring out, everyone partakes. Could piss in the corner of that place no one would know the difference. Love it.

Sounds amazing. Love places like that where you’ve been welcomed in and feel
well and truly at home.

Old plywood paneling coming apart at the seams, felt on pool table that hasn’t been changed since the 60’s, wallpaper just brown from all the cigarette smoke over the years, zero ventilation upgrades made since it was opened. Pisser with one seater and a urinal right on top of each other, no barrier. Live for it.
