What have you bought today?

[sodthisforfun]

11 years old! Lol. Yeah, my brother was about that age. He used to pinch my mums and try and flush the evidence down the loo. He never cottoned on to the fact they didn't flush too well

I started at 18. After growing up with chain-smoking parents I hated smoking so much. But, when I was a punk art school student and wanted to smoke weed like my mates I bought a 10 pack of consulate cigs to learn to smoke..

You go on a lot of holidays! .

Not normally! Only one was going to be just the two of us - a short break in Barcelona for our anniversary. All the others were friends and family holidays we felt obliged to go on.

My Nan used to switch to consulate when she had a sore throat. She said the menthol was very soothing. When her throat was better, she'd be back on the Capstan full strength unfiltered jobbies.

That's the drug that was originally used for something else isn't it? Someone told me once that it had been given to prisoners and they noticed the side effect that they were stopping smoking

I wondered why I started to throw slates from my roof.

Oddly my parents never smoked and are quite anti. My father instilled in me from a young age that smoking will kill me and I was afraid that if I ever started I would quickly snuff it. (Tried snuff too). Then in the last year of primary school I forgot all I was told and tried one in the outside bogs. A friend used to pinch coins from his Mum's purse and another friend's Mum ran a pub so had easy access to cigarettes. If we had the money it was no problem to walk into a tobacconists' and buy a pack. If they ever asked (rarely), just had to say they were for your Dad.

They did try to hook us young with packs of sweet cigatettes and chocolate cigars aimed at kids. As I said, it was the 70s. Anyone lucky enough to be young at the time wil remember the freedoms we have now lost. Feel sorry for kids now bought up in a sterile environment, not allowed out and can't ride a bike anywhere because of all the traffic. See them going past the house on scooters dressed up in helmets and knee pads. H&S too far.

Brought up in the late 50's-60's when you went out in the morning, (8.00 or 9.00am), with a jam butty, a biscuit and a bottle of sherbet water to last the day till you came home around 5.00pm for your tea. If you didn't have a bike you borrowed one off someone else or nicked your sisters rollers skates. No helmets, knee/elbow pads etc If you got hurt/scraped your knee you spat on a hankie, (may not have been yours), wiped the blood away and carried on with your day.
