Smokers - be gone with thee!

[Max]

So, OK the dictatorial Government have banned the smoking in your local - which is hitting many establishments - as if things weren't tough enough! But is the brewery really bothered about those individuals (smokers) who have been loyal customers for so many years? I don't think so!

It would appear that whilst other breweries are adjusting to the ban by providing outdoor facilities for their smokers - such as shelters and heaters (where the opportunity allows) - good old Sam Smiths don't seem at all bothered.

Unless you know otherwise?

If I was wrecking peoples lives, and upsetting many more like HS does, I don't think I would feel safe to travel anywhere without at least one full time bodyguard.

Not to do so, would be very naive, exceptionally brave - or just simply foolish!

I know that people with a varying degree of particular disorders (including types of autism and savant syndrome), can find it impossible to empathize with others - so it's just possible that HS is genuinely unaware of the hurt he's causing so many people - and that he's taking a big gamble with his own personal safety.

If I read in tomorrows news papers that HS had been murdered in a frenzied attack - my first thoughts would be something along the line.. 'well I'm not that surprised. I wonder who it was - a distraught manager or other member (or former member) of staff? Or maybe a tenant of one of his many properties? Or who knows - a family member, trying to save the empire, before it's too late?'.

OK, maybe I watch too many Midsomer Murders
