    A better idea would be to raise the minimum age allowed to buy ciggies by a year, every year.



    The year is 2037.

    Customer: A packet of 20 smokes please

    Shopkeeper: Certainly Sir that will be £29,995.65 Have you got some ID Sir

    Customer: I've got my pension book

    Shopkeeper: Sorry Sir, You have to be 67 to buy smokes these days.

    You'd have old tramps standing outside shops offering to buy smokes for those young whipper snap 50 something’s.

      Just a thought, how hard is tobacco to grow?

        Growing your own tobacco was quite popular in the 50s, but apparently it tastes absolutely horrid.
        Its true. Tobacco is very unpalatable. The only way it can be smoked if if the natives spit on the leaves whilst they are shredding them. The strands are then rolled between the firm pert perspiring breasts of young nubiles, to form the perfect woodbine. Damn fine people those redskins.

            If the latter, you're being as idiotic as Dim Prawnerolo.
            It is a proposal for debate. Is it not possible to float ideas here? Or is everything just subjected to ritual abuse?

            I often think sasguru's view of the cuk forum is quite correct.

                Who do you reckon will be getting a state pension aged < 67 in 2037?

                Not bloody likely.
