I find that people like this always make me feel the need to light up
right there and then...


Dennis Potter apparently used to use the smoking compartment in trains
and ask people who weren't smoking to kindly leave the carriage.

Yes. Smoking carriages are indeed sadly missed.
After giving up 'cos my arteries were clogged,
I used the smokers to get a passive fix.
I suggest that people unable to smoke through
age or infirmity should have been allowed in.

BTW, are there any smoking carriages left on British trains?

Last time I checked [1] GNER Geordie express had smoking carriages at
each end, one for first and one for second class, they put them at each
end so if there was a accident the smokers die first, as they had a
lower life expectances they were loosing less and it mattered less,
presumably this would be coupled with smaller damages awards to the
victims families.

No - the compartment at the front is to make sure the smoke is distributed
to other compartments by the air-con system.

I think intercities still have them (did last time I travelled), but in
the event of carriage shortages it was cattles class smoking that got
chucked off, and you weren't allowed to trudge to the business class
smoker and stand and light up there, or they wanted you to pay the
suppliment.

On one train where they ahd dropped the commoners smoking carriage the
guard/revenue collector actually said to me, go stand in the doorway by
the window with it down when you want one. Such an amazing display of
undertanding that on a 4 hour journey an addict to a legal substance may
need a fix. First and only time it has happened though.

I don't know why you bothered to post, if you don't have anything sensible
to say? It is very easy to knock people, you probably wouldn't last five
minutes if you did Tony Blair`s job


Senator Blair doesn't have a hard job to do. But he does have dificulty
acting like he has a hard job.

The strain of being the first attempt at "Celebrity Faking it" is really
showing.

Let's face, basically all he has to remember is to say "Yes Mr
President", and never to ask "Why do I have to be the woman".

You know that special relationship we have with the states?
It's very special. They have been ****ing us for years, without having
to worry about making any ties or commitments.
