Are smokers becoming paranoid?
As some of you know, I work at the Ffestiniog Railway, this morning I was asked by one lady, sitting in the open air, on the station platform, whether she was allowed to smoke there. This is a first for me. We don't allow smoking while on the trains but I wasn't aware of anyone restricting it in the open air - yet.
I don't smoke, never have, am just intrigued by the question.

I guess she saw the locomotive smoking and wanted to join in...Katharine wrote:As some of you know, I work at the Ffestiniog Railway, this morning I was asked by one lady, sitting in the open air, on the station platform, whether she was allowed to smoke there.

Me and 'Er Indoors' are both smokers and won't be dominated by those control freaks in Westminster who wish to perfect the perfect 'Nanny State' !

Sorry Matt, there were no locomotives in sight and an otherwise empty platfrom - part of the reason I was so surprised at the question.Great Plum wrote:I guess she saw the locomotive smoking and wanted to join in...Katharine wrote:As some of you know, I work at the Ffestiniog Railway, this morning I was asked by one lady, sitting in the open air, on the station platform, whether she was allowed to smoke there.

Mary, I knew about enclosed London Underground stations, but did not realise it applies at open air ones too. It does apply to enclosed mainline stations such as Birmingham New Street too.
