@markmccaughrean This touched a nerve too. My father exclusively smoked No.6 until he gave up in the early 70's... But my angst comes from my Grandad always sending me "up the road" to buy him a packet of 10 filterless Woodbines at the newsagent and to use the change to buy whatever sweets(*) I wanted.
In modern terms, I was a sugar-addicted, pre-teen mule of nicotine and assorted carcinogens.
Oh, and Larry Lloyd grew up across the cul-de-sac from his house.
