...Perhaps not, but it should. Heating up the outside rather than putting a coat on is indefensible, whichever way you look at it...


Doesn't our star, the sun, heat up the outside? Can't see what harm a few heaters will do given the power of the sun. That's one way to look at it.

So many establishments heating the outside just to please Smokers.

Whilst inside there is often no heating at all.


A new campaign has been launched to halt the spread of environmentally-damaging patio heaters.


The heaters - an increasingly familiar sight outside pubs and at family barbecues - have become a hate figure for green groups.


They say the heaters, which can cost as little as ?75, only heat the sky and could be responsible for as much as 1m tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.


But in a new survey the Energy Saving Trust (EST) claim the gas and electric powered heaters are growing in popularity and ownership is set to almost double from 1.2 million to 2.3 million.


It is estimated that larger commercial heaters are now in almost 60,000 pubs, 25,000 restaurants and thousands more hotels, clubs, cafes and bars.

Never occurred to me that heaters were so damaging to the environment. Thank God for those giant handbags that are so in vogue these days..I'll use mine at the pub to carry my 13.5 tog duvet.

Why not also complain about barbeques and campfires?


In fact, the amount of heat leaking out of a pub building in winter will utterly dwarf the output of a few patio heaters.

What's wrong with Newcastle Rosie? You are being a bit Northernist there. Have you ever been past Watford?


Love a good heater outside. Makes the outside space in a pub much more useful all year round. Keeps trade regular during the winter months. Especially in these hard economic times when so many pubs are struggling.

I was in Helsinki earlier this year and we went to a nice outdoor bar in a square where the bouncers brought us over massive blankets because it was a bit nippy - we thought it was a really cool idea. I don't really have an opinion on patio heaters but it may be a nice alternative.

Are you sure you didn't wander into an old peoples care home at by mistake? Easy mistake to make with language and cultural differences

Hi all

well we've been busy and are nearly ready - some paint may be a bit sticky but on the whole we're looking good.

bring a jumper or a coat if your a smoker, or just stand a bit closer to the lighter, no heaters here.

our chef is preparing mini samples of some of the menu to give away.

so come along and have a drink - enjoy some great free food - then you can judge for yourselves.

many thanks for all the positive input, look forward to seeing you later.

Definitely more welcoming and the food smelt good (was too late for the free tasters) but ?2.80 for a J20??!! As a non-drinker I feel like I'm being punished in some way! Will come back but please offer a choice of soft drink for less than ?2 next time. (Otherwise I will have to order a cordial. Times are hard)


;-)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
