PWL Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm old enough to remember smoking on planes. On a flight to Canada in early 90s I made mistake of going to toilet at back of plane and it was like a fog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planes used to have a handy wee ashtray in the seat arm with a clever opening mechanism which must have cost a fortune to manufacture. Their absence is another example of the decline of society IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was against it at the time but now I think the smoking ban is the most important piece of health legislation since the founding of the NHS. Or going for a night out and coming home with a hole burned in your shirt where some paralytic smoker bumped into you with their lit fag. In my case, usually this same one of my mates who never smoked sober, but any time he went out, got blootered, and then suddenly wanted to be a chain-smoker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every plane that I flew on in the 70's and 80's and up until it was stopped, I always sat in a smoking seat. The seethe from some of the grown ups in the 70's was glorious at times 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they banned it they don't bother anymore, hence people picking up colds and worse on flights is far more frequent. Health fascism gone mad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Or going for a night out and coming home with a hole burned in your shirt where some paralytic smoker bumped into you with their lit fag. I lost an expensive camel hair duffel coat to this exact scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Quick question - do you call it French toast or eggy bread? Not sure if an issue of this magnitude requires a thread of its own, but we'll see how this goes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in a pub or club and going home reeking of smoke was horrible. Clothes went straight in the wash as soon as you got home regardless of the time, but you could wake up and your room stank of it. The first time I had a shift after the ban came in, I remember waking up the next morning and being pleasantly surprised that the room only smelled of my own manly scent, rather than death sticks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would hate to be in a restaurant having a nice meal when some selfish sod is puffing away at the next table. In them days those moaning about smoking were seen as the selfish sods, if you'd rather just live in your own wee wonderful bubble that's fine, I'll just lie to you if you'd prefer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin_3110 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 My work have an office in the Dundee Waterfront just next to the road bridge. I'm driving there tomorrow and wondering if there's anywhere nearby reasonably priced to park all day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
