Just wondering if any of the mighty org know anything about the above law.
Recently I was in Germany and Holland and saw some things that made me laugh.The best one was a German Polizei in his marked car ,as he pulled out of the station.With a ciggie stuck in his mouth and a fat ice cream cornet in his left hand.Is that allowed or was he just abusing his power ...lol.
He didnt even try to hide it as he waved to my young son.
had to be seen to be beleived.

Many European(and other)countries have a much more relaxed attitude to petty rules and regulations than we do.No one really cares if you have a fag when you shouldnt or exceed the speed limit or bend EU regs or whatever.Maybe thats why they tend to be happier than us and why their prison populations are so low by comparison.

The smoking ban has either started or is about to start soon in France( I shall ask my mate over there)
They don't welcome such things there. However the French have a nack of bucking such laws, by making another law, then covering that law by another, so by the time they have finished the original law is in place but everyone has got confused and carries on like nothing happened.....well so my mate in france says!

Doh read article...!

that they do Gid. especially the older they get it seems. My german gran is particularly good at winding Im Indoors up, and can throw it right back when he does it to her. She often leaves my house with a giant grin on her face having had such an entertaining evening

Now back on topic!
