You need to give them some strong counselling to quit isca.
Are you looking to cause dissension and upset harmony in Maison Isca Al ? We are living in an ever increasing "nanny state" where the freedom of choice of the individual is being constantly eroded. I am sure that members of said household are quite capable of making their own informed decisions without any "brow beating" ! :unsure:

Bollox. I have already posted to Polsloe my support pack “Helping your loved ones to happily quit the fags”

You are right of course. I don’t like the “nanny state” and should have stayed out of this one.

Giving tips to users of cigarette rolling machines only makes the baccy go further.

Coin Pre-Payment Primary Gas Meter.

They were 10p slot meters when I started.The last ones were £1 slots they were phased out from 1993-95.
The £1 slot meters could hold around £300 when full.

Which would barely cook your Sunday roast at today's prices.

You would need a meter bigger than your bleddy oven to take all the coins !

Holiday cottages often used to have electric meters.

Yep..My parents let out a Chalet beside their house in Dawlish Warren, The electric meter in the Chalet was a secondary meter off the house primary meter. It was a 10p slot, not unusual in the late 70s if I was skint before Thursday pay day for me to check on the status of the coin box 😎 Pints were for paid in 10p’s that evening 😁

Liverpool shirts.

Which is astounding when you consider that, just yesterday, the City centre seemed full of them.
What a difference a day makes.

Probably gone back in their drawer with the earlier but now unloved ManUre and Chelski ones.
