Thank You.....
With the ban on smoking in public places came an insistence that venues likely to attract the smoking public, such as bars, betting shops and bingo halls, should be responsible for minimising the mess of cigarette-ends on the pavements fronting their property. A whole new regiment of street furniture has since come into existence, consisting mainly of big black litter bins with stubbers on top - remarkably similar to the bins that largely disappeared from our streets when every single one might have accommodated a terrorist bomb... ...
Far more discreet but for the colour scheme are wall-mounted devices such as this one, seen during a wander round Alnwick a few days ago. Strangely, however, this one was nowhere near any leisure establishment, nor any other kind of establishment that I remember. Maybe that explains why nobody seems to have used it

A Special Thank You to those who contributed modifications to my upload yesterday. They were all much appreciated and full of fun! Perhaps I'll start thinking a bit more carefully about how I treat my brain
Now off to do some clicking and running to catch up with everything I missed yesterday.

Now that explains why this is the most pristine example of these that I have seen.You will know my fondness for a nice wall Bill.(and a very nice one here).But what irritates me intensely,is smokers insistance of stubbing their fag out on the wall,then putting it in the bin!!!! Just no way to treat a wall!! A good bit of colour here with some nice BG texture.

in china if you have a cold your expected to wear a mask...perhaps smokers should be forced to wear a gas mask with a built in fag holder ??????lol...just an idea....actually dont know why i came up with that as i'm one of those smokers...doh.... nice composition

You know Bill its over a year now since the smoking ban in Wales.
It is a pleasure to go out for a quiet drink or two without all the horrible smoke. I have seen the same device you show in a number of establishments, wish I was the chap making and selling them.

great shot.. So far I haven't noticed these here.. but could be in bigger cities.
Small box - Looks like some sort of Tardis in which smokers can go.

As usual cracking info, new to my eyes, only ever stole one thing in my life, when i was a kid i stole some smokes from a shop which turned out to be dummies (dont) i thought how could adults smoke these things
