The Carpenters Arms, Loughton

I popped into this pub a week ago to watch the second half of the Arsenal cup match .... I thought I had a life of Mars moment .. It was so 1970s that I had to tell people at work. There was a fat bloke sitting at the bar and it took me a while to realise what was odd ... He was smoking!

I went back this Sunday for the second half of a match and had to sit almost alone in the font bar as the back bar was so smokey. I stayed only for 30 minutes and for the first time in almost 7 years came home with my clothes stinking of tobacco .... A horrible establishment and the last time I will visit.
