I think 'cooking' is possibly disproportionally large, though ;)

And I'm not a Harmonian (or even an H/Hr shipper), just to clarify.

Smoking Ban in Scotland

The ban on smoking in public indoors comes into effect in Scotland on Sunday. I think it's a good thing, for the selfish reason that cigarette smoke makes me cough. (I am waiting for our chapel choir, who by and large don't like incense, to start making cracks about anti-smoke legistlation, though...)

The public seems, on the whole, to support it, as far as I can see.

But I was amused by the comment of a pub-goer on Newsdrive (the BBC Radio Scotland evening news programme): "Ach, I think it's fine. The pub'll just be for drinking and talking about football, and that's how it should be."
