Or in the summer, doing the same thing (minus the fire) outside in a well-kept beer garden, admiring the view. *That*, for me, is where it's at!

Amen to that. In addition, our local (which keeps its real ales in kegs on a rack behind the bar - none of this pump-pulled stuff!) also has a mobile phone ban. If anyone's phone rings, they have to put £1 in a jar on the bar, which is given to charity when it's full.
