tesco shocker,

my sister went to buy some fags.
stood waiting patiently to be served,
and was actually "ASKED",

"would you mind using the self-service?i'm busy right now"

tesco express.

Does she not know smoking kills?

life's a killer mate.

nobody gets out of here alive.

But why shorten it?

Do you smoke Eric?

no mate.

nobster,
some 30yrs ago,
i WAS a smoker.

one day,i had an accident at work,
damaged one of my knees,
and was unable to walk for about six weeks.

i just sat,
and smoked,
and smoked,
and smoked.

suddenly,
it occurred to me,
that i hadn't smoked for a couple of days.
not only that,
i couldn't stand the smell of fag-smoke,
or even the smell of it on other people.

apparently,
out of boredom,
i'd inadvertantly,
put myself through a course of what is generally known as,
aversion-therapy.

i smoked so many,
i'd literally,
got sick of smoking.

and i've never smoked on since.

so,
you see,
while i would totally agree with your stance on smoking,
i'm not really in a position to criticise.

happy days.

I used to smoke the odd roll up (Old Holborn) but stopped at 40....Not had a puff in 23 years thank fuck.

it IS a filthy habit.
no doubt about it.

but a terrible addiction also.

if i ever get rich...........

setting up a regular,
once a day shopping trip bus,
out of town to asda or morrison's,
would be high on my list.

my sister saw an elderly woman almost reduced to tears in my local tesco express.

the "self-service"monster,
when serving (actually SERVING,not swerving)a customer,
asked elderly lady to use self servive.
she didn't know how,
and well,
you have make allowances for people MY age,
let alone her.

sister wants to take my mother in,
in the hope that said monster will do same with her.

my sister isn't shy.

but my mother isn't up to it.

I'm using an iolite wispr vapouriser and some organic weed. Great stuff.
