The only 'public' spaces where I've come across smoking are the pubs (not all of them). I'm a reformed smoker and would rather people didn't smoke but I have a choice and really I think they should too. As for 'ashtray of the Channel Islands' - who made that rather over emotive headline up? People did indeed go for 'smoking' holidays to Amsterdam but I doubt a fag with a pint in Alderney will attract too many of that crowd.

Again, little old Alderney leads the way. If it's not e-gaming or tidal energy it now seems to be in dealings with the MOJ. There are two lessons here. How small government can make decisions faster and how being firm with the MOJ can get results. This is actually quite an interesting article. Again, little old Alderney leads the way.
