Well steeljack, my mate who I worked on the road with years ago was a scott, and each night we would end up on the single malt, I always used to put Island Spring in mine, at which my mate Jim did his tree, he used to say "good god John its taken a little scotsman 10 years to get the water out of that and your putting it back in again":D He took his neat:rolleyes:

Traditionally unwanted pregnancies caused in connection to films was because of the antics on the back row seats in the Cinema not because of what was on the screen!
:eek:

Another crackpot idea from a crackpot council and the Roy Castle charity.

I voted no but it is a qualified no. Meaning that if the film is about modern times where smoking in enclosed public spaces has been banned then the film should reflect this.

However re-classifying films made before the smoking ban came into force or about a period where smoking was not banned because an actor happens to be smoking is censorship gone mad. Bogey wouldn’t be Bogey without a fag in his mouth. Neither would Lauren Bacall.

John Wayne didn’t win WWII [email protected]. It was Audie Murphy and for real.

What a load of rubbish!
Even if they did ban it kids still see people everyday of their lives smoking and more often than not probably one of them will be a family member so it wouldn't have any impact.
P.C gone mad yet again i'm afraid!
