So I'm outside Sainbury's Express Southchurch Road, opposite the Tesco petrol Garage. A car pulls up in front of me, facing me. A guy jumps out puffing on a cigarette. As I walk past, a woman in the front passenger seat is also smoking.......There were three kids in the back. It was cold, the windows were closed. WTF. I wonder how many a day, these poor kids are passively smoking.

That's illegal isn't it?

I know smoking whilst driving is, which he clearly was. I just looked it up, and smoking with passengers under 18 in the car is illegal, as of 1st Oct 2015.

I remember having to stick my head of of the top deck of the bus so not to choke when I was a kid. Smoking on the tube and on one side of the cinema!

I had to leave my elder brother's engagement bash due to virtually everyone in the restaraunt smoking. How times have changed for the better.

Sorry, I had to change that, now edited. Yes, if you grew up in the 60s or 70s especially, people smoked everywhere. Even family members all puffed away when watching tele. No one went outside for a smoke. Clubs. pubs, public transport, and the worst of all in my experience were bingo halls, where everyone seemed to be smoking. The smoke was incredible. Crazy to think now we are more educated about the dangers of smoking, that most adults smoked in the 60s and 70s. Roy Castle died from lung cancer due to passive smoking, because of all the clubs he performed in.
So getting back to the point, it really is disgusting that parents smoke anywhere near their children, especially in a confined space.
 
Waiting an absolute age on hold @ Opodo to get a refund on my Flybe tickets, only to be left with an Indian call centre reading off a script and about as useful as a ****ing chocolate teapot.

Yes, you now have to go indoors for a breath of fresh air!
 
People panic buying in Morrison's in Hadleigh today. Not a single toilet roll left on the shelf's, thought this virus gave you flu symtoms, not the 'tom tits'??.
Queues for the checkouts, longer than pre Christmas, total madness?. This was around 1.30pm, cashier said it had been like it all morning!.
Gonna be fun in a few weeks time, if ( when? ) this virus spreads big time.
Fortunately i was able to buy a whole salmon over 3 kilos, for £7 per kilo!.

World book day. MK Jnr wanted to go as Hermoine Grainger despite never reading a Potter, so I go to my local Charidee bookstore where I can get a copy for £1. It's shut and have to fork out £8 for the first two books....which she won't read. Grrrr.

Oh Paul, you have to get her to read them or have them on audio - they are brilliant!

How is it justice when a skilful solicitor/ barrister gets someone off who is100% guilty? How is that justice for the victims?

Well the members of the jury who heard the evidence and found the defendant not guilty clearly wouldn't agree with your assessment of them being 100% guilty.

I'm not sure what you are basing your view on, but if you want to learn more about the subject I can recommend you some books. The Secret Barrister's award winning Stories of the Law and How it is Broken would be a good starting point and highlights the good and the bad of the justice system.

And to bring two threads together, here's 2 quotes from Douglas Adams:

7. “All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.”

20. “I don't accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view.”
