You mihgt appreciate Aubrey that this same experience often happens to those with brain damage to that area of the brain (mind) that encompasses self identity. You might find this interesting, specifically the chapter on the man who could not identify his own leg: | |

I love Oliver Sacks. I can't see that without signing up for a free trial which I'd rather avoid, but that book is on my list of things to read anyway. I need to finish Musicophilia first. | |

^^ Could do with that sign outside most places near my office in London. There's far too many bearded snobs that look like an Apple ambassador, expecting you to be impressed by their talk of books and films you've never heard of. | |

In my city pubs are packed weekends and quite busy during the week. There's a ton of options from wine bars, sports bars, spoons, food places, expensive places with nice booze, live music, all sorts. But it is a city so I guess it should be busy. | |

If you're talking about Truro, then we're talking about a city, albeit a small one, that has a thriving tourism scene, even off season. Furthermore, it's a wealthy part of the country, with lots of culture. There's a university-standard college in the city, and Falmouth university is half an hour away. It's no surprise that pubs and bars are thriving there. | |

I'm not suggesting any positives. But in terms of when I go out drinking, which I've done consistently for about 18 years now, I didn't notice any reduction in numbers that coincided with the smoking ban. Probably noticed a lot more people standing outside which has coincided with more effort being put into making beer gardens a bit nicer, but that aside it seems the same. | |

Starting to understand perhaps, The pubs with rainbow flags must be reserved for the various colors then? | |

It demonstrates pretty standard government function: once there is an agency with a purpose, after it fulfills that purpose, it has very strong incentive to find a "new" purpose, which curiously seems to always be a bastardization of its original purpose. Agencies intended to solve one problem never go away and always "find" the original problem in new places or new ways in order to justify their existence. |

I've seen no examples of agencies closing up shop because they solved their intended problem. I don't have examples off the top of my head, but I have seen in the past examples of the alphabet soup of government institutions still having power today even though their intended purposes are gone. Per Milton Friedman, the only example he knows of US federal government power reduction is cancellation of the military draft. |
