It is true .... I'm 40 something and when I last went back we went to the usual places for a fag. It's strange but I guess it has to be done. It seems too indiscreet to smoke in the open. Anyway soon they'll probably make all of England a no smoking zone - so we'll still have to hide away for a smoke hoping not to get caught.

You should have been drinking cheap cider down by the Arun for the full nostalgia experience...

Something along the lines of "I suppose you thought that was funny..."?

Aha!

"That's a perfect end to a perfect day" (or something like that)?
