[QUOTE="Winslow, post: 72564, member: 267"] A floral-scented snuff called "English Rose" is provided for members of the British House of Commons at public expense due to smoking in the House being banned since 1693[1].A famous silver communal snuff box kept at the entrance of the House was destroyed in an air raid during World War II with a replacement being subsequently presented to the House by Winston Churchill[2]. Very few members are said to take snuff nowadays. I once worked with a Scotsman who went through the German Blitz on England. He would tell stories in his thick brouge about "The Jerries" dropping bombs and how he barely made it through alive,probably B.S.,but I liked to hear him talk. Winslow :sunny: [/QUOTE]
