I HAVE just returned home after a two-week visit to London where the biggest news item isn’t just about the life of its Home Secretary David Blunkett and his married lover Kimberley Quinn but plans to ban smoking in pubs and restaurants. 

A big debate is taking place over the proposal, with some pubs planning to take advantage of a loophole in the law to convert their pubs into clubs.
