I was reading JJ's blog and noticed the countdown to the introduction of the smoking ban in England.
This got me thinking about something. What the f**k happened to all the ashtrays from all the pubs in Scotland when we introduced a similar ban a year ago? I suppose some enterprising person could have diverted all the Scottish ones to the rest of the British Isles. That won't work when it spreads UK wide.
Will they go to landfill sites or perhaps as I write some artist is planning using them in some giant sculpture as a memorial to our nicotine days. Or they may even become collectors items? Like the other quaint things from bygone eras that some folk just can't seem to let disappear into the mists of history. Things like vintage computers?

They could be used for complementary peanuts on the bar I suppose? Or they could stick candles in them? Or stick them in the garden for bird baths or dog bowls? So many alternative uses now I start to think about it!
And the bigger ones make excellent frisbees. At least they do if your reeeally drunk!
