..but, on the First of July, this year, there will be a ban on smoking in the workplace, here in England.
I got thinking tonight about the amount of Pubs. Each Pub will have a huge amount of ashtrays..if you multiply the amount of Pubs by the amount of ashtrays you’ll end up with a very big figure.
Where will all the ashtrays go…
Slan,
D. 
You can use them as candy dishes, maybe. 
Or they could start using them as finger bowls. Bring a bit of class to the pub. 
Long time passing…
Well, ASK for a few already. Jeez.
And if they won’t give you any, nick 'em.
Gone to skeet shots, every one.
When will they ever pants?
When will they e-ver pants?

Hammered into plowshares?
You can use them as candy dishes, maybe.
You are selfishly ignoring the immanent collapse of the lucrative ashtray market, which will now cost the country £gazillions in lost trade revenue and taxes. This is the beginning of the end. We are all doomed. I need a cigarette…
Perhaps we could re-train them as cuspidors.
With careful planning, by lowering the rate of replacement below the rate of loss, one could reach a stock figure of nil on the appointed day.
Another case for the business consultants and private finance initiative.
Whatever happens, the tax payer will pick up any tab.
Here?
Fit ashtrays to motorcycles and give the smokers their freedom.
Mukade
remake them into small urinals…
fill them with dirt, plant grass seed and give them to condo dwellers…
Use them as coasters…
Fill them with beer for those to drunk to get their faces off the table…
I was actually going to say this, but then I thought I’d let you have it, Slood Dood. After all, I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist
Guilty as charged, yer honor. 
Yeah, it would beat the cups the “dippers” carry around here-not as easy to tip over. But , that nasty ambeer would be all too visible. Yuck.
Fill them with beer for those to drunk to get their faces off the table…
Yeah, kinda like “saucerin’” coffee.
Some glad morning when this life is o’er
I’ll fly away
