Transpontine
history is made at night
I've heard that at the Seone club near London Bridge, home to various trance and dub nights etc., people who want to smoke have to pay £1 for a smokers wristband in order to be able access the smoking area.
I was at a gig a couple of weeks ago at the Amersham Arms in New Cross when I noticed a queue of people and a bouncer operating a strict one in one out policy - was it a VIP area, nope the smoking area.
As a non-smoker I watch this with mild amusement, but there's something almost Burroughsian in this spectacle of addiction/control, with people queing and in some cases paying to be crammed into a tight space to smoke.
