Pensioner spaces seem like a good idea to me.

Parent and child spaces are pretty essential for parents of young children as previously mentioned you can't get a car seat out without the door near fully open but I agree they don't need to be right at the front near the entrance.

Parent and child needs rebranding to parent and up to 4 year old though, I've seen some with teenagers, and a lot with high school kids using them.

Agree

By the way I was at the hospital today and had to face the dreaded wall of smoke and dressing gowns on the way out!

the thing is, the nurses doctors and security do regularly tell the smokers to smoke away from the doors or not at all, but they just get verbal abuse back in response.

that said there should be a simple smoking shelter put up somewhere around the hospital as its ridiculous to expect patients(and there nervous visitors) to go without smoking, before the smoking ban they used to have a small smoking room inside the hospital just for smokers.

Its absolutely disgusting, especially when you think how much treating these smokers costs the NHS every year.

I'd put signs up that anyone caught smoking outside the hospital doors will be fined on the spot, I'd like to throw the patients out of the hospital if they're caught smoking, but thats maybe going a bit to far.

Fine them :tu:

'Mans inhumanity to man' at work here. Smokers are nicotine addicts and nicotine addiction is apparently stronger than heroin addiction in the long term. Would you deny heroin or crack addicts any help too? I must say I dislike smoking but in saying that you appear to be forgetting how much money the duty on tobacco contributes to the nations coffers.

People aren't blatantly doing crack and heroin outside the hospital doors Gordon!

Its absolutely disgusting that you have to walk through that wall of smoke, many of them on oxygen and hospitalised due to fags.

Just another example of selfish swines thinking of themselves and nobody else.

Fine em.

Having not hiked in the UK for a while now I don't know if this is a problem there or not. But here in Korea the number of people who blare music from their phones or bluetooth speakers while hiking is infuriating.

I go hiking to get away from the considerable noise of the city below. I don't need to hear tinny little speakers playing crap dance music every time I walk past someone.

At Kings Mill hospital near me they used to have the problem with smokers outside the doors. They have now banned it on the grounds so smokers have to go down the car park and out the gates to the main road. Surprising how many don't bother in the rain.

I just don't get the heavily pregnant mothers that still go out and smoke. Also whilst my wife was on the ward after having our first child, there was a 8 months pregnant woman brought in who was "having trouble breathing". She was a right drama queen and kept sucking on air and complaining. Then her partner turned up and in the 2 hours I was there, he wheeled her out for a fag 4 times. Tricky that breathing lark.

The smoking ban control freaks strike again!

Hardly a wall of smoke is it? It's usually blowing a hooly up there. I do think the smokers should be moved away from the doors to stop them continually opening and closing though.

Presumably though you've either walked up to the hospital or driven there and parked on the car park. How many noxious traffic fumes do you think you have inhaled in the process? Should we persecute and fime motorists too because thats another group that pays way over the odds in duty.
