...or to our US comrades, would you like a cigarette?

I haven't smoked over in 20 years apart from a spell working in Brussels, where smoking seemed compulsory and a holiday in Mexico where they threw cigars at you.

Just mowed our postage stamp and was sat down with a cold beer and thought, "Eeee, I could just roll a fag of Golden Virginia in liquorice paper". I probably could have smoked it as well! I didn't of course and hopefully never will but I wonder if it ever leaves you?

It was always my ambition to take up smoking the smelliest pipe tobacco possible and puff away on a well bent briar in the vault of my local much to the annoyance of all but the pub smoking ban has put a stop to that. Many will be pleased :-)

Cheers

Cough, cough.
