Once again I am drawn to the writings of Frank Davis and once again I feel compelled to share his words with our readership. The piece below reaches out to me on so many levels. Permission to Speak By Frank Davis A day or so back Tom Harris quoted from a Labour List piece by Michael Merrick - Culture clash: how Labour can look to reconnect with the poor -, wondering why people were deserting Labour...
I have lifted this from Frank Davis . This speaks volumes to me, a smoker. Spontaneously Lighting Up By Frank Davis Perhaps the most telling event of my visit to Spain took place shortly after I'd got back to England. I'd met up with a friend of mine for a dinner at a restaurant, and at the end of it he pulled out a packet of cigarettes and fingered one, saying how he'd like a smoke. And I said that...
There’s an interesting observation here from Frank Davis on how pubs are increasingly becoming like private homes, and private homes increasingly like pubs: …the pubs which were once refuges from family life will have become no different from family homes, with toys strewn on the floor, children running round, nappies being changed, and old grannies being helped to the door on their walking...

Resisting Bullies By Frank Davis Comments by Bearwitch after my previous post have set me thinking. Bearwitch had been told to stop smoking at some Wembley gig, while the burly male smokers near her had been given a free pass. It was easy for blokes, she said. Well, I thought, that's how bullies work: they pick on the weakest. It set me thinking of my own experience of being bullied, way back in my...

Over at Frank Davis's place , he also documents his Electrofag experiences and in discussion there he came up with a brilliant idea. I wondered if the 'smoke' from Electrofag would have a similar insect-repelling effect to real tobacco smoke. It's too late to try that here because the midges don't know about global warming so they've packed up for the winter. Next year. Frank then suggested I try...
Collective Madness 2 By Frank Davis The most excellent Christopher Snowdon, of whose book I am a proud possessor, was prompted by my post on Collective Madness to write: It was an inevitable and intended consequence of denormalisation that nonsmokers would become less tolerant of smokers. Less anticipated, perhaps, was the fact that this would also work in reverse. The result has been the creation...

He has kindly let me repost...
