I can't believe there hasn't been a story yet from down here (as in England and Wales), about a cabby getting a fine for smoking. :shock:

Maybe we are all just a big fat law abiding lot. O:)

While in Cornwall when the smoking ban started, I herd on the radio that a pub had been unsuccessful in getting diplomatic immunity, it was even on there local TV news :lol:
Then the went on to say you could still legally smoke in Stock on Trent, as they had yet not employed any environment officers.
They also gave out some facts and figures from Scotland and they where that, a pub a day had closed and that the breweries had lost 210 million since the introduction of the ban.
Well in Selkirk there was 7 pubs now there is 2 and one of them is a hotel

Sussex, all our notes are legal even our £1.00 notes, all you have to do is spot the key that's on the reverse of the notes.

I wish we did vote for our PM .................. but we don't.

The Queen is the British Monarch and if the currency is British then it should bear her portrait.
