I remember when you could go into a shop with a pound and walk out with a mars bar, can of coke, pack of crisps, pack of pogs and 3 packs of panini stickers................. koff cctv !!

When actually paying... 10 Regal Kings.. a box of matches.. and a packet of chewy's to hide the smell from yer ma.. all for a pound.. really.. a pound..
Even buying a 'loosie' from the local Pakistan owned shop ! ( political correct that.. )

Serious question.... what age actually determines being old ????

Always seems to me that it's someone with about ten years on me, but then sometimes I look the other way....

Gave up 2 and a half years ago .... had been smoking since I was 13.

So is my ex. If she was still here I'd be able to roll her home

I gave up smoking 10 years ago ( also 37 next month btw ).. Used to smoke two packets a day.. That would be nearly £15 a day now.. How do you you smokers do it ??
