They worry about global warming, the environment and such things but they don't realise they are making themselves and everyone else miserable!<br /><br />I believe people in olden days were much happier despite their hard lives. I remember the adverts on TV for pipe tobacco. They claimed it had a great aroma - which it did! Now, (over here), all adverts for tobacco, cigarettes, and such are banned. TV Adverts for sweets, chocolates and certain fast foods should be shown after 9:00pm so as not to influence young people. Instead, we have adverts for gambling all through the day. Political correctness with blinkers on.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant, Martha. I need a whisky and a Guinness. I wish I had a pipe. Even a licorice one. Just ordered some from AMAZON.
