Plenty said they avoided pubs because of the smoke - but that's not the
same as now using them as they're non smoking.

Because now you can smell the rankness of the cooking fat trodden into
the carpets and permeating the decorations.

They don't use cooking fat in my (semi)local pub.

Nor indeed are there carpets, come to think of it (apart from a rug in
front of the log fire).

But they do a wonderful pint of cask Black Sheep...
