“Money burns a hole in the pocket!” I remember that, from 1/2 century ago. Remember, cigarettes can shorten life, quality & quantity? As someone who smoked around 100 each day, 20 years ago, The people who started me smoking are not winning a popularity contest with me, The lives it puts at risk, the pain, the feeling of being broken. I wasn’t a smoker, ore-University, I had a couple of stops & starts after university. Within, about 5 month of leaving university, my weight had doubled, and I craved cigarettes more than life. Well, it was only a bit of fun?????

Not to mention, I had an offer of a place on an Engineers conversion degree course. So, not even being able to maintain a functioning lifestyle. I missed out more than one degree course (any of them, I’d have attempted. Probably, to a reasonable standard. I didn’t want to claim dole. I was aiming at jobs that didn’t need degrees. But, it was how careers advice was in those days, usually defer work type of thing.
I knew I had to work, that I didn’t have peace enough to organise accomodation, that university was a “one time only” offering. Also, long periods without food, soap, sleep and so on’ it left me in need of time to recover. I know, people disliked me. If they’d have said why, it might’ve allowed the English Legal System a chance to pursue matters very quickly. Remember, don’t discard the wheat with the chaff?
