Just as well I don't have a car. That'll save me from breaking this newly proposed law - and being put on the Government's naughty step

Ludicrous!

Cheers Sue

There are at least two reasonably sane libertarians left, then!

I once dropped my fag in between my legs when I was driving - nearly crashed the car! There'll be a lot of that happening if this new law comes in!!!

as it happens, I'm sitting here quietly on my settee, minding my own business and - yes - having a cigarette

I wonder how long it will be before the nanny state decides I can't do that?

In preparation for which, I'll just point out that I don't

(a) use my settee whilst answering my mobile phone
(b) drive my settee over the speed limit and then moan that this shouldn't be illegal
(c) park my settee in any "no clamping" zones
(d) sit on my settee under the influence of any drink, drugs or other mind-altering substances

I'm just waiting for officialdom to dictate how I DO use my settee!

Sorry sue - you can't smoke on your setee - or in your own house - if a council official comes around!!






Unless, of course, they aren't a 'jobsworth' and admit to smoking - in which case you'll have a friend for life (whether you want to have or not!!)
