He's so unhip, when you say 'Dylan,' he thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas. Whoever he was.... The Man ain't got no cul-CHAH.
No rage against the dying of the light
A cafe where poet Dylan Thomas loved lighting up his favourite cigarettes with a gang of friends during the 1930s is banning smoking.
*Snip*The Kardomah Cafe in Swansea, one of the most famous cafes in Wales and where Dylan shared many a smoke with his artistic band of writers and musicians, is banning cigarettes altogether next month.
It is a big change for a cafe which has won a place in history for its bohemian clientele, and where the smell of Woodbines was almost as distinct as the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans.
"We just think it's the way to go," said owner Marcus Luporini. "We think that it's going to become law soon anyway.
"I don't like smoking around food. I think there is a place for it and I don't think it's fair on our non-smoking customers. We have carried on the traditional values of the old Kardomah," said Mr Luporini. "Dylan was a smoker and a bit of boozer, not an ideal customer. He'd have sat here all day smoking and writing poetry."
