Seriously Clarie, don't post clap trap like that, it only serves to make you look either ill informed or ignorant You haven't got a clue have you? I used to be a landlady. As a land lady, BII qualified and well aware of my legal H&S 'duties' to the public, I can actually pick and choose who I provide for. If I don't like the look of someone, I can bar them, and they would not win a case in court to overturn that. A pub is one place where the customer is certainly not always right.

There is waaay too much money and therefor influence in the cigarette and alcohol industry for any form of controls to be legislated for properly. |
Again, no-one is FORCED to work in a pub. If you don't like the conditions of a job, then you don't apply.
