Just a thought...

Post by dubhlinn »

..but, on the First of July, this year, there will be a ban on smoking in the workplace, here in England.

I got thinking tonight about the amount of Pubs. Each Pub will have a huge amount of ashtrays..if you multiply the amount of Pubs by the amount of ashtrays you'll end up with a very big figure.

Where will all the ashtrays go....

Slan,

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Or they could start using them as finger bowls. Bring a bit of class to the pub. :D

You are selfishly ignoring the immanent collapse of the lucrative ashtray market, which will now cost the country £gazillions in lost trade revenue and taxes. This is the beginning of the end. We are all doomed. I need a cigarette...

With careful planning, by lowering the rate of replacement below the rate of loss, one could reach a stock figure of nil on the appointed day.

Fit ashtrays to motorcycles and give the smokers their freedom.

remake them into small urinals....

Fill them with beer for those to drunk to get their faces off the table....
