As casual smokers (and drinkers) my wife and I travel to France and Belgium every 4 months or so for a long weekend where we stock up on cigs, spirits and wine for the next 4 months. Every time we open a pack of cigs or bottle of wine we put half the price into a jar so that the trips become, if effect, more or less slef funding. When the corner shops and off-licences close down through lack of custom, you will only have your Member of Parliament (who, by the way, will be able to openly buy THEIR cigs from the shops in the Houses of Commons and Lords) to blame. Democracy is really great isn't it?<BR/>TunnelvisionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
