    A New Take on Dining Out

    I picked up a menu at the nearby "Bell's Diner". (Actually I had one thrust into my hands as I was looking at the menu by the entrance.)

    What caught my eye as the comment on the bottom of the menu:

    If you'd like to indulge in inter-course or post-prandial smoking please be respectful of our neighbours......

    I remember daring talk of inter-course cigarettes in the 1960s.

    We didn't even have to leave the table in those days, of course...

        That reminds me. Can't remember the programme, but Lenny Henry is asked by a fellow guest if he minds if he smokes, and Lenny replies that it's ok, so long as he can blow food in the blokes face!

          Ah, you may laugh, but after 50 years it is no easy matter, giving up the smokes.

            Next month it's 10 years for me, after nearly 30 years of smoking.

              Well done - has it made you a happier man, though?

                  I have been addicted to salt and vinegar crisps since giving up the No 6.

                      Maybe TS means he's given up on the No 6 that's playing at the moment? If so that's pretty pathetic
                      I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                          I have packed in the cigs many times over the years and then started smoking again many times.I once gave up for 12 years and started again.
                          Then I packed in packing in for a while.
                          Now I've been a non smoker for a few years.
