My Mum would have said and thoght that such behaviour was as common as muck. To her, smoking in the street was the perogative who worked the streets.
Nowadays everyone smokes in the street - mostly outside offices - although a friend told me that people doing so outside his building got Fixed Penalty notices for so doing. Whilst I loathe smoking, for pity's sake cut people a little slack - is this really what the ticket issuers of the nation should be doing
wonderful riposte! I wish I'd had your wit on hand at the time (Mr HH didn't even wake up...)

Unless of course the road is to the right hand side of your lady in which case you should walk on that side to protect her from unwanted splashes of passing carriages.

Blimey this thread is still going. I see we're back to the good old FT BAEC days with regulars and new recruits having fun.
1. In hindsight I wish I would have thought twice about my phrasing. I read it again and it is quite a vicious thing to say, be it justified or not. I've apologised to printingbreakfast for this. I could have edited the OP to try and extinguish the fire however I wrote what I wrote.
2. It warms me to see printingbreakfast has become an instant FT legend ^
3. For those who wondered I took x2 Tylenol PM just before boarding BA182 22.30. I usually take one which helps but does not really make me sleep that good. Two pm's knocked me out and I've never slept that good in a metal tube previously. I was pretty drowsy the entire day after so I guess 1.5 is the ideal...

And of course if you are climbing stairs with a lady, you should walk ahead of her on the way down lest she fall, but allow her to walk in front on the way up. I wonder if anybody has devised a "gentlemen proficiency test" involving a complex course of stairs, roads, seats and doors.
