Wonderful thing, legislation, isn't it? At least they have given it some thought and only applied it to enclosed work ares - there was talk initially of a total ban within the workplace. That would hav meant that as you took the dog down to check the stock you couldn't een have a smoke in the middle of the field. I *think* the ban will also include tractor etc cabs as well so be careful if you fancy lighting up whilst ploughing - the elf 'n' safety chaps will be out checking! Certainly many companies are banning smoking in company owned vehiclse - cars, vans lorries etc. -- David Visit http://www.farm-direct.co.uk for your local farmgate food supplies.

FAQ's, Glossary, Farming Year and more! What about chewing tobacco? Can cause ulcer problems in the mouth. Now if you want a kick, unnoticable (to a certain extent), try snuff. I once sold wool to a company whose offices were in what is now called Smithfield, in Dublin, delivered, weighed, the boss invited me into the office to get paid (while his staff opened the packs and checked that all was OK), and offered me a pinch of snuff, obtainable from a shop a few doors up, seemed OK, so he sent an office boy (remember them?) up to get me a small container of it. I had it in my pocket for a while, and while admiring the sunset one evening, took a good sniff, woke up some time later.. Whooee!. PS, since yonks, there has been a horse fair in the same Smithfield, now frequented by urban cowboys rather than farmers, I heard that the police now have a presence there to save the vet that arbitrates on the soundness of the horses, some things never change. -- Greymaus Just another grumpy old man Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Peter Gillett Guest Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:45 am    Post subject: Re: Smoking In article <f787a1d74e.eddien@freeuk.com>, Edward <eddien@invalid.org.uk> wrote: Quote: I've just discovered on the FW site that if you are a lone farmer, you can smoke in your farmhouse but not in your byre.

That was probably cocaine <G> I'd forgotten all about snuff, used to indulge many years back when Oop North, mentholated was best, used to freak out the good ol-boys in the pubs who weren;t expecting a young-un as I was then to enjoy it Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Guest Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 6:21 pm    Post subject: Re: Smoking On Sun, 22 Apr 2007 18:22:46 +0100, Edward <eddien@invalid.org.uk> wrote: Quote: I've just discovered on the FW site that if you are a lone farmer, you can smoke in your farmhouse but not in your byre.
