I’d smoke a clay pipe, but I don’t have a tricorner hat.

British PATHE’ is awesome.?

I can't imagine that smoking a pipe after someone else would have been a big deal back then. It's not like they ever took baths or cared much about hygiene or germs.
Also, it was my understanding that tobacconists sold pipes prepacked with tobacco. Some kept the pipes to refill them, but the wealthier smokers just tossed them. Someone else had posted a video about how some beach is full of broken bits of clay pipes from decades of people tossing their pipes into the water after smoking.

In another 5-10 years I doubt you’ll be able to find a shopping mall to spend time in
A shopping mall is a decidedly different than a pub. A mall is dedicated to greed and the soullessness of consumerism, while a pub is about connection augmented by the simple satisfaction of minor addictions.
Malls are suffocating, and I've not set foot in one for 20 years.

I’ve dreamt of opening a pub that feels like taking a time machine back a hundred and thirty years, but it’s all illegal now.
Not just the tobacco, the beer, the food, heck even the chairs wouldn’t pass inspection for accessibility. I’m not even sure the coatrack would be legal.
I may do it anyway when I’m too old to care. As a private clubhouse.

Yep, this is the place I posted about earlier.
I hate the fact that you pretty much wrote the same thing I was going to but you just got there first. If I had a communal pipe I'd snap the one end off and pass it over to you. Oh you forgot to add that those pipes where considered a disposable thing in the first place. And where made in pretty incredible numbers.
The funny thing about malls is that basically they where a tax scam in action. I forget the details but at the time when malls started popping up everywhere it was because tax codes changed so to encourage stores that sold necessities to be able to stay in the suburbs. I need to go find a video about that. Glad to see though there don't seem to be many people here crying over the fall of the mall.
Don't forget to include a few buxom wench's while you're at it.
You guys can all go open your own pubs. I'd rather run my own whorehouse. 
The best part of pimping not that I personally know or anything is it's hard to eat your profits. So maybe not the worst idea ever.You guys can all go open your own pubs. I'd rather run my own whorehouse.
I never ever truly managed to understand this ... so 1 pound = 240 pennies, who figured the math on this one? Just the same as 1 mile = 1760 yards, or 5280 feet. For about a year back in the States I worked in a manufacturing plant, and the worst part in purchasing was the measurements of various fixtures ... "Say, Adrian would you order us a box of 1 and 1/16 inch screws?" I may be biased ... growing up on metric and all, but really, why so darn complicated?
that's the kind of thing that happens when you have a King. Cause who is going to say you could make it so much easier on everyone?

Cosmic ... did you run that by the little lady ? ?
yeah that's a good idea because more then likely she'll be running everything. And if she doesn't enjoy it neither will Cosmic.
I like where the pint of beer is heated with a poker and the clay pipe. Would like to do both around the fire!
