smoking

A trail of diesel running down Allington Street has caused police to ban smoking in the area over fears of a fire.

"The fire seemed to come out of nowhere," the 45-year-old tells the BBC in a melancholic voice, raspy from years of smoking cigarettes.

Members were seen smoking cigars in the office and drinking beer as they worked late into the night.

After telling his sister where he was, she then called 999 and officers found him outside the bar smoking.

"There's a letter rack, ashtrays and even a tiny little sunroof - but it's not a sunroof at all, it's a chimney, because in 1925 everyone was smoking."
