Since the smoking ban many a struggling pub has re-invented into itself into what many term as Gastro pub. With fancy menus describing food with such spin that would make  Alistair Campbell proud. Once you are over the distraction of the fancy new décor with flowered wallpaper you realise that whatever Gallic flavour is given to describe food such as “sausage and mash” is it still just that.

Have you grown up like me hearing some parts of the media and society saying smokers and heavy drinkers  should pay more towards the NHS as they supposedly bring the system to it’s knees? The counter-argument being that the tax revenue generated from sales of tobacco and alcohol contributes well to the government purse. It looks like the airlines are putting one foot in the "fat tax" camp.
