They're looking for someone to talk about what they'd do if they found out their teenager smoked, off the back of this story.
Thanks

Most people don't give their 23 or 25 year olds several hundred pounds monthly as an allowance. It would have been much more interesting to learn how Duncan Bannatyne would suggest stopping another adult in your family from smoking without the lure of filthy lucre.

........Thinking about it, its a typical male overreaction punishment isn't it.
All men do this

eg kid takes sweets when told not to.

dad " Right that is IT - no tv for erm.... the rest of the week"

then he goes to work leaving the mum to arrange alternative entertainment...

i'd kick his ass. as a smoker i would be very very annoyed. but think he knows that anyway.

i'd do it but have to go out.

I'm not going to say 'another scot using money to garner power a la Mr Brown'

I'd talk to them but I have both monsters on my own today!

FWIW I think it's sad that he didn't talk to her. Unless he's grooming her to be an employee this is not the way to raise kids!

OOh she sounds like a Mner.
Silly condom lady.
