Not an easy habit to break no matter what Scottish Unionist says though one that is breakable. <BR/><BR/>And Malc unless he schedules a meeting for outdoors he is going to have to smoke between meetings as there isn't much option.Stephen Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027718551675624433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719459558369549533.post-9892319798580193362008-09-19T19:11:00.000+01:002008-09-19T19:11:00.000+01:00Smoking has no advantages.
