@MainLineSpy Newcastle is probably your best bet then.

@jkelovuori @LanceChurchill My Mother in law once asked me to get her a Daily Mail from the newsagents. I had to buy a copy of Playboy to hide it inside.

@AlcuinHimself Back in the days when sheep ate men?

@carolvorders @LBC Vape spiking? When did this become a thing? Do you have a link to some evidence?

[Edelweiss Pirate @JGiltrow]

@RushmoreExt23 @jkelovuori @cdoug As far as I can see this will make vaping cost the same as black market fags.

@emergingcannula @MartinW93129709 @cjsnowdon Have I got this right? You're a medical student and you took up vaping without ever having smoked. Why?

[Edelweiss Pirate @JGiltrow]

@victoriajudge @ConcreteIdeasx @LivePippas There has been a long running lie spouted by anti-vapers that vaping can cause Lipoid Pneumonia, which is caused by inhaling oils. No need to encourage them.

[Edelweiss Pirate @JGiltrow]

@victoriajudge @ConcreteIdeasx @LivePippas PG & VG are both alcohols not oils.

@jo_bartlett Not 89, days & dates are wrong. 1987 I think, which makes sense as I think I was at a few of these.

@grannylouisa @AlexWodak Add in people on benefits. Not keen on disposables myself, but I can afford to shell out £50+ on a mod & tank. £6.99 for someone on UC might be affordable.

[Edelweiss Pirate @JGiltrow]

@DrSarahEJackson I've seen disposables described as being sold at "pocket money" prices. I think "Universal Credit" prices might be more appropriate.

@mickwall @trumpenator Interestingly, the original TPD included a provision banning untrue statements on packaging. UK lawyers spotted the contradiction and didn't transpose it into the TRPR.

@scottferguson56 @IanDunt I think you've answered your own question. If kids don't get vapes from legitimate sources what good will restricting legitimate suppliers do?

[Edelweiss Pirate @JGiltrow]

@PranMan @wellhat @Jo_WhiteheadUK @RichardJMurphy Make it cheaper to get the train to Scarborough than it is to fly to Malaga?

[Edelweiss Pirate @JGiltrow]

@kmflett When I was a Civil Servant I reacted to my annual pay cuts by brewing my own beer and taking up vaping.

Why on Earth is netball age restricted?

@BeatTheCult Have you read Small Gods by Terry Pratchett?
