[Vaping vs the dreaded weed]

Not a lot of tax on vape  juice so no worries there

[Vaping vs the dreaded weed]

One of the good points for me was, I used to roll my own and our girt was fed up of all the holes in me shets from the loose bits!!.

Hi catfan your bang on with swapping one habit for another, only it was for convenience not because I wanted to stop smoking. But that's a long story.

[Vaping vs the dreaded weed]

Ok plaintif but you don't mind the poisonous fumes emanating from vehicles, and they're not very good for you. I must admit though some of the mixtures that some folk's Vale are really weird.

[Vaping vs the dreaded weed]

Hi denshaw just for your information, its not actually smoke any more than a kettle smokes when its boiling. There are different types of vaping devices and I must admit that some do a good impression of Krakatoa when used. Mine is just a habit satisfying one.

[Vaping vs the dreaded weed]

Being a vapor for about 4 years now, and have noticed that attitude's towards vaping are now becoming the same as smoking. I am interested to know why! I will even accept replies from converted smoker's lol

Hi denshaw sorry for taking so long to reply but I only seem to get the chance to go on the site when I take my winter vacation. But to answer your question, I left in 69.

[Deering School]

Hi denshaw, your dead right, it was Davis for Ri. I can remember Robinson for woodwork. I don't remember Foster or Dyson. oh the good old days. Did you cut across Georges field if you were late?. I can remember when the pond froze one winter and i skipped school just to mess about on the pond. Didn't seem to matter in those days whether you went or not, or was it just me?.

Sorry does'nt ring any bells, I do remember a little butchers outfit not far from Commercial Sq, up a little alleyway to some small premises. You may know them now as Pork Farms.

Plus they had a shop next to "the square wine and spirits" just across the road from "Carnills"

[Victoria Baths]

As a lad that lived in st Anne's, I even went to the nursery at the top of bath st park ( not by my self ) and growing up used to play on the park. As I remember, park view flats, as it is now, was the old workhouses. If it was an asylum, it would have been a long time before my time.

[Deering School]

Yes I remember now, collaluca, Reid (did he do sports as well?) Wallace, who was it that took ri? I can only think of him as holy Joe. Was his name Reid as well. And your correct about sue Best she was fancied by most of the lad's, but you would get a rap across the knuckles with a ruler if she caught you peeking up her mini skirt when she sat on the table. Why she didn't sit on a chair behind her desk I just don't know.
