    Psst: Wanna Buy Some Mouldy Cheese?

    That seems like a very good system. But it won't work when a gang of thugs in an urban setting bull rush a store and flee on foot with pocketable items worth $$.

    Which pipe do you mean? And photos- please no white against black, nor dark pipes against white.

    Psst: Wanna Buy Some Mouldy Cheese?

    I interpreted "a lady" as a customer. Workers would be simply, "women". Regardless, I understand why there was money paid out.

    Psst: Wanna Buy Some Mouldy Cheese?

    The odd thing to me is the woman who got hurt trying to stop a thief was able to get compensation from the store! Now if one of the employees told her to "Stop that thief!" I could understand.

    Psst: Wanna Buy Some Mouldy Cheese?

    No doubt! However in the States, retailers will sometimes see a person lift goods into his (the impersonal "his") overcoat and observe him casually walking out the door. Purposely not trying to deter or apprehend. The "shrinkage" is a cost of doing business, apparently, and it's more trouble and...

    Pipe cleaners for Irish Peterson?

    If I towel out the chamber and pipe cleaner in the airway, I can smoke right away. Virtually no moisture gets into the briar this way. Far more is introduced through super heated water introduced over the length of the smoke.

    Pipe cleaners for Irish Peterson?

    No need for alcohol to clean a pipe unless it's ghosted. Immediately following a smoke, remove dottle and ash, run hot tap water into the chamber, out the stem.

    UK: Labour Smoking Ban

    Folks- Do not quote posts that are political in nature. We delete those posts, but can't always get to them before someone quotes it.

    Barclay Rex in New York, NY

    When I visited them downtown, (now their only location, sadly) they were trending in that direction. Sad. Loved their Midtown shop. Are you a Manhattanite? In any event, please put your location in your Profile! How: Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose...
