    I'm bored. And I've just noticed that the ashtray I'm using is considerably smaller than ashtrays that I have from the 70s. Has anyone else noticed the dimunition of ash receptacles. I am also slightly drunk, however this is irrelevent.

    I read your username as Jointy56. That made more sense.

    Why are ashtrays banning fags to enter them?

    They're against gay marriage.

    'tasted like chicken'

    Some pubs still keep the big plastic branded ones for use after hours.

    In my (limited experience) yes. The one I nicked years ago, when we could smoke indoors, is much bigger than than the ones i've had to buy since the ban came in.
