This man has had his tobacconist raided by the New Zealand rozzers because the name of his shop—Discount Cigarette Supplies—violates some ridiculous anti-smoking law. He has been forced to paint over the offending word 'cigarette'.
The world is now a safer place.
And then there's this bullshit on the front page of the Daily Mail (and the Telegraph)...
We can take a little comfort from the fact that the UK's "chief obesity adviser" (as the Telegraph describes her despite there being no such role) didn't go quite as far in her comments as the headlines suggest. Nevertheless, it is a sign of these pitiful and puritanical times that people are being encouraged to fear fruit juice. I have always found it goes perfectly well with some spirits.

I hope that your trip is enjoyable. I have to say that I'm slightly jealous....wishing that I could be there:-)
I look forward to reading about what you have learned there.
Cheers from the other side of the pond!
