generously decided to share with us..
Snippetry..
About as often as I go into a pub for the same. If we had a "local"
Starbucks, or similar, probably a lot more - bit like the place in
"Friends", not that I ever actually Watched, it, you understand. But you
know that that wasn't really what I meant, when talking about the kids.
If I stayed anywhere for 3-4 hours with my kids, no-one else would stick
it out - except perhaps at the Mark Addy with plentiful Lego supplies,
of course.
And there you have it.. it's all down to footfall.. if you haven't got
a large footfall outside your establishment, you have to rely on custom
that regularly comes back.. local village pubs rely on probably a
couple of dozen or so people who drink there on a regular basis..
that's the backbone of their income.. if that backbone is removed, the
whole commercial premise becomes unviable.. you have to have a core of
people buying from you to give the basis of a steady income.. in rural
pubs, that steady core of regular users is IME always either smokers, a
predominance of smokers, or a predominance of people who don't care
about the smoking that happens..
You're a doctor.. let's try and put things into your sort of
perspective.. you have patients with all sorts of problems, but it's
been decided that the government thinks you should no longer treat
anyone who comes to you with the normal afflictions that smokers have..
you have to turn away everyone with breathing problems, heart problems,
embolisms, who don't excercise enough and are overweight...
What would that do to your practise?
Aren't they *your* customers too?..
