Like you Honaloochie my first inclination would be to wholeheartedly support this idea. However when you delve deeper into the problem some of the possible consequences are quite frankly frightening. Consider this if you will. On any given evening in this great city of ours there are tens perhaps hundreds of thousands of people who don sweats (as I have been informed they are called) or spandex, depending on their age, fitness level and/or fondness for Van Halen and Twisted Sister. These folk then go to gyms which are private allocated areas, where they voluntarily partake in the Sisyphusian pursuits of running on treadmills, lifting weights which fall back down again and riding bicycles to nowhere. It is all quite poetic really. But is it the kind of thing you would like to see going on in public? And what if it was raining? Would they want to bring this sort of thing into the pubs if they didn?t have gyms? God help us if they do is all I can say. What London barman or lady worth their salt would be able to respond with anything other than a Glasgow kiss and a resounding, ?You?re barred!? to a spandex clad, ciggie-dodger, jogging on the spot at the bar and asking for lucozade? Rivers of blood. Mark my words. There will be rivers of blood. So all things considered I think we should treat these places much the same as we do the WI and S&M clubs. Unsavory perhaps but at least they keep it behind closed doors.
