Just from experience of friends being hospitalized...

YES.

Probably both.
> > Will I be allowed to smoke somewhere...
YES. Seems to me just about all inpatients smoke (esp. the schizophrenics); it's a big part of the 'social life' there.

YES, when you go for a fag!
> > (this next one may sounds stupid, but hey!!) is there likely to be net access there...
Unlikely in UK.
> >Will I be allowed to watch Eastenders, read my own books etc...
Most definitely.
