I was going to say three letters WHY
message like that, does make you thoughCan't get a page to open from that link Bob.
Why indeed! Who knows!
I can't get any link to open either here or the P:M
I went to safer cigs site, Aspire, and can see the coils - the ones that say 'Nautilus' are the ones I have.
Congrats to Bob for bagging post number 10,000
Yes, shorter wider ones.
Odd isn't it. Perhaps they don't like the company!
Our regular postman is off and has been for some weeks now ..saw his wife (also delivers post) he's off with stress! Not surprised really - it's a big round and he always gets everything delivered and works late to get it done when he has to. Since he's been off, we've had three post deliveries some days, none on others!

It was the only thing I could think of. They obviously did something that's been frowned upon!
We've had our postman for some years now ..think we've only had 3 in 21 years, until he went off sick. He's called John and he knows that our son lives a mile up the road, so if he gets something to deliver when he's out, he brings it here!
I've even known him give my husband the odd small package if he sees him walking the dog. He usually does a parcels van delivery and then the walk around letter post.

He's old school: knows his walk and the people on it. Things haven't been the same since he's been off.
He's not been happy since the privatisation but just shrugs and says he just gets on with it and gets the job done.
We noticed some post taking longer, and he told us that our local sorting office in the next town had been closed for sorting and the mail goes 60miles away, gets sorted and then brought back here for delivery! Always adds another day at least.
I had a Nicoticket order leave Nebraska, exit the US via Chicago and be in the UK within 3 days ...took another 4 to get delivered to me!
Got one that's coming via New York currently and that was in the NY despatch facility on Wednesday within 24 hours of them sending it! Doubt I'll see it until Monday Tuesday though.
I do wish public services weren't privatised ..they just fall apart and cost the earth!
For me, seeing something go via USPS from Nebraska to Chicago and then Heathrow all in 3 days really shows up the poor speed of dealing with things here considering what a small country we have in comparison!It is certainly a sad state of affairs when we can get stuff delivered from the states sometimes quicker than we can here. As bob says, it`s all down to crappy politics and privatisation.

The one 'service' I want to stay in private hands is the e-cig industry!
As for your second point, i woudn`t hold your breath, I fear the dark forces are already at work. Yes, me too Terry! That's why I'm trying to get nicotine dependence down ...that way, I may find any changes easier to deal with one way or another!I know trish, it is almost laughable isn`t it.

I've seen them talking abut it over at the Nicoticket section here. Someone said even the zero nicotine liquid will be classed as a tobacco product! Can't see how they can justify saying that, but who gets to argue with these so called lawmakers!
Then someone said the cows are already out of the field so no need to close the gate ...nice sentiment but if they can stop people smoking where they want to, they can stop us doing this too.
Makes me wonder what will happen to all the companies that have made a huge commitment to this - will they get compensated? I know such as FastTech consider it a relatively small part of their company, but they've still invested in it. People like Clark at Nicoticket, our own two Chefs Karl & Lew who have also recently expanded, Flemming at LTEcigs, so many more. Some of them have made a big effort to not only give excellent customer service, but to sell products that are top quality and carefully monitored.
Last, but certainly most important ..what about us? People can only stockpile so much of anything.
We scoff at the blatant lies from such as Putin, but our own government and the EU seem to think they can fool us by stating ridiculous reasons for wanting to control the supply and distribution of whatever products they deem suitable. Yes, some regulation for safety reasons is needed, but the main reasons are obvious: money! They want to keep the big tobacco and pharmaceutical companies happy and the treasury. All of them are, by now, losing vast amounts due to people not smoking cigarettes, or no longer trying to stop by using available products that aren't as effective.
How can they ignore the results of research and professional opinion from such as the RCP and UCL.
Oh, I know - nothing new. But, I get so very annoyed by the constant manipulation. They pick and nag for years for people to stop smoking, and when millions do find an effective way, they have to pick it all apart.
Can you tell I had a lousy start to the day ...
Yes, it's so obvious, I'm surprised they aren't too embarrassed to say/do these things! Don't tell me the media is all free speech ..there must be dozens work within the industry that strongly oppose such actions.I agree with every single point you made trish, at the end of the day, as you say, it is all about the money they are losing in revenue. It is not about US they don`t give two figs about US, although they would argue with that, WE know it is true. Hope the rest of your day gets better.
