And none so irritating as the righteous converted  Roll Eyes

Oooh, I reckon I was more irritating when I did smoke, and thought that none of the petty restrictions applied to me! In fairness to smokers today, I see few transgressions. The exception seen today was the pile of dog-ends under the "No smoking anywhere" sign outside the main entrance to Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

The same hospital where my father had his heart op and a bloke in his ward - awaiting his heart op - was ejected from the hospital by the surgeon having been caught smoking under his bed sheets!

That wasn't as dramatic as the prisoner opposite who escaped through the ward window leaving behind a trail of intravenous (and other) drips and pipes. Interesting place - Blackpool Vic.  Undecided
