[QUOTE="chris, post: 271787, member: 98"] Greyson - you obviously don't go to the supermarket too often - lucky man!!! I am afraid that is the law in England and has been for most of this year. I think it only applies to supermarkets as most small newsagents are still displaying tobacco products. My most ludicrous experience of this was shortly after the law came in and I was in a supermarket and asked what cigars and pipe tobacco they stocked. I was told that they could not pull back the shutters and I had to tell them what it was I wanted. I attempted to explain that I was not going to reel off a long list of products knowing full well that they probably did not stock those brands but in the end I just gave up and left. And trying to find a supermarket that stocks lighter fuel seems to be a complete waste of time - I presume everyone just buys disposables these days. If there is a branch of Robert Dyas where you are then they normally sell Swan lighter fuel. If it were not for the Web, and the very few remaining tobacconists, then being a pipe smoker in England would be hard work. [/QUOTE]
