I've played Hoebridge golf course a couple of times. An interesting course. You'll be thrilled to find out it concludes on a par 3 18th hole. Not many courses do that. Although the old course at Etchinghill near Folkestone where I played for many years does too. Usually a 5 iron for me.

Actually as golf courses go, yes. I did say it was an interesting course and it had some very unique holes requiring a bit of imagination.
Cycling is discouraged on the course though.
I forgot about the 8 o clock clap tonight I'm afraid - It was such a beautiful evening i was out on my bike instead (I'm not a bad person, honest!).
Anyhoo, I was out in the depths of the countryside north of York and I heard some distant pot banging at 8pm, but there was also quite a lot of gunshots too. I guess they do things differently out in the sticks.

As an aside.......there is a long term running dispute between smokers and non smokers at our hospital. I am 57 and it's the truth, I've never worked with a smoker (or fatso) till I joined the NHS at 52. Many smokers go outside every hour, so the non-smokers want to know where their extra hours break is, or an extra hours pay, seems fair enough to me. In Spain workers now (rightly) have to clock out to smoke which solves half of the problem but doesn't address the non-smokers going flat out to cover their breaks.
Now in virus world, the smokers have to remove all NHS (possibly contaminated) uniform and put on their own clothing before going outside............thus their breaks are now twice+ as long. It'll blow soon.

Talking of stress building, my company furloughed half the warehouse and workshop staff, topping up wages to 100%. Fine for a while but there’s a lot of grumbling now about people getting the same money and not working for it.

Never been a problem wherever I've worked - and the smoking ban has been in how many years now ?As an aside.......there is a long term running dispute between smokers and non smokers at our hospital.

Been in the NHS for 20 years and have never heard of friction between smokers and non smokers
My job and many others are workload driven/measured if you're up to date you get a breather.

Watching Charlie Brooker's Antiviral Wipe. The thought has occurred that Cunk & S**tpeas would do a better job in the current situation than the Tory omnishambles....
What smoking ban? Any time of day you will see umpteen hospital staff smoking, often directly under "clean air" posters. It's regularly in the local rag. Friction is a daily thing and no wonder, but the current virus hygiene regulations have brought it to a head, now a smoker can be gone 20 mins an hour.

3.2 Smoking is also prohibited:
- within vehicles owned and operated by St George’s, University of London;
- within private or leased vehicles used during University business to transport a University employee or student who does not smoke any tobacco products including electronic cigarettes

Smoking ban came in first in the 1990s - at first designated rooms - at my trust we have dedicated smoking shelters.
Never been a problem to me or any of my colleagues either smokers or non smokers. YMMV.
