It is a process buying cigarettes anywhere now. It has the
level of embarrassment that once went with asking for condoms. While not quite
under the counter, cigarettes are no longer simply over the counter as they are
now over the counter and behind a cupboard door. While the fag heads towards its bitter end the
Pill is about to take its place. Presumably there will be a wide range of
brands to choose from all with different unique selling points – different flavours
perhaps – heart shaped ones. Then of course they will be youngsters outside
trying to persuade older sisters and brothers to go in and buy a pack for them.
But, of course, whether you are buying smokes or the pill you
will not be able to buy a hosepipe as these are still banned.
