    He does have a point. If migrants have been smoking regularly and suddenly are faced with difficulty in purchasing tobacco, what will they do?
    The indigenous population will have been able to adjust. It's just the same as how some migrants have difficulty controlling themselves when they see women who are not covered up from head to toe.

    A penny.

    After several billion years the compound interest alone would mean that I owned all the wealth in the Universe.




    I think that this is Douglas Adams' reasoning but if it isn't, then it jolly well should be.

    On a related garment theme, I just listen to the podcast The Price of Football, which was an interview with Tom Beahon who formed Castore who are now supplying kits to Newcastle, Villa etc, interesting story.

    It’s impressive what they’ve achieved, launched by Tom and his brother less than nine years ago in their parents garage. The parents remortgage the house to fund them and now their an international multi-million pound company.
