great post john, pleased to hear you are ok, your posts on the sea thread are invaluable.
i did see you on a mobility scooter some time back and just assumed you were garaging it for someone else.
i remember you saying about the weight of the equipment you carry around at a seafront event a year or two back.

Heard this comment on T.V. yesterday morning, two seventeen year olds in a car one driving one smoking, are they going to charge one of them with breaking the law, the police have enough on their plate's to expect them to do this as well is just downright stupid.

Good point Humphy, which begs the question should a child be driving a car?

And about time too, I'm pleased to see they are now seriously thinking of banning smoking in cars where children are passengers. Surely this is just common sense, it beggars belief that parents or anyone else for that matter are still doing this. It is such a confined space. At least if parents still smoke at home they can go outside or to another room away from their children.
I wonder if taxi drivers ferrying children to & from school are still smoking in such circumstances, I sincerely hope not, I would not want any child to have to endure a smoked filled taxi, I certainly wouldn't have wanted my children to.

Another law that will be enforced in very rare cases.

I can only speak for the taxi firm I work for as a school escort - Dover Royal Taxis - and I can assure you all that none of their drivers (or escorts of course) smoke in their vehicles - ever.
All their cabs are clean and fresh and comfortable too.
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

Smoking is illegal on all public transport, I feel certain this applies to all taxis too.

You're right Howard.
