True Jaysay, I always thought it looked rather 'common' .. but am now reduced to this ... have to sit down though, doesn't seem quite as bad as walking around with a fag in yer hand. Used to take a pit stop at local cafe with coffee for this .. but this has gone now. Ah well, will find myself taking a flask with me soon when I visit town, and next thing I will be seen to be eating in the street complete with napkin, candelabra, ash tray, laid out nicely on those stainless steel benches..proper little picnic ..

No, that's OK Accyman (at the moment)... read it somewhere.

Observer running a poll on whether Pensioners should be fined for dropping a cigarette end on the street, seems like readers are agreeing with us here; at the moment, 82% saying yes. Feel someone is going to reply to her in the letters too Shill, giving her a hard time.
