I used to like Greek cigarettes and Retsina. But it's been a while...🤔 ...problem is.....they make you fancy Greek women.....

I don't remember it being all that selective, I think after enough of the latter, a pulse was the only real qualification required from any potential romantic partner... 😬

I loved smoking. Really, really enjoyed it. I still really miss it. I haven't had so much as a drag since the day I gave up. I strongly suspect that if I had a drag now, I'd have smoked 60 by the end of tomorrow.
I don't think my children will smoke, too sporty for one thing so none of their friends/peers. But it is surprisingly common amongst their [mostly underage]school friends. F*ck knows where they get the money at 13 - 15. South American kids by and large still think smoking is cool.

Is smoking cheap in Chile? It's about a tenner a pack here now, isn't it?

I don't know Al.
I'll have a look.
p.s. A TENNER! Dear God. Just as well I gave up.

$3,437 pesos. So about £4.

I expect £4 is a more considerable amount of money there than here, isn't it?
I think it's a tenner here, I seem to remember someone being charged that amount in my local Waitrose recently, as they requested an item from the Cupboard of Shame behind the counter.

A supermarket worker would earn something around £500 per month. A teacher, perhaps £1,200.

Did you get to the opera in Belgrade btw, WDB? No. My customer-guests spoiled my free evening by staying on for a third day, so I had to go out with them instead. Hoping for another trip in May, so we’ll see what I can fit in then. Didn’t get to ride a tram either, so I need to fix that. Did bring home some dodgy Balkan firewater, though, so it wasn’t a complete miss. Incidentally, what’s wrong with Metaxa? The seven-star stuff is lovely. Cheaper at Madrid airport than Athens, for some reason presumably to do with tax rates.

Incidentally, what’s wrong with Metaxa? The seven-star stuff is lovely. Seven stars will be nice and five star okay. Three stars and it's probably best used in cooking in my opinion. Gets rougher as the number decreases. Until I looked now I didn't realise there was also a 12 star Metaxa. In fact there's Three Stars, Five Stars, Five Stars Honey Shot, Seven Stars, Twelve stars, Grande Fine, Private Reserve, Angels Treasure and AEN.
