National Emergency

Grandad January 4th, 2009

Where is the National Emergency Plan when you really need it?

I have a real emergency, and there is feck all mention of it in the Plan.

I called into the shop yesterday for my supply of tobacco.  They were out of it.

I called into the wee supermarket as they always have plenty.  They were out of it.

Neither shop had any pipe tobacco in any flavour, origin, shape, form or religion.

This is not funny.

They had tons of cigarettes, but they are for the sad smokers.  You won’t catch me buying them for my own use.

What the hell is going on?

I could use the home grown, but I’d be as high as a kite all the time.  Not funny either.

Am I to be reduced to smoking tea leaves again?
