    Fleabay and Smoking!

    Is it just me.....or when you have just paid good money for something (normally camouflaged ) from that lovely auction site....
    When it says new (or even if not).
    Would you be a bit p*ss*d off if it turns up stinking of stale fag smoke

    I realise some of you probably smoke, and would not notice it.
    But for those of us who don't, it is quite unpleasant.

    What's the point of looking like a bush, but smelling like an ashtray

    Just my personal rant for the morning.

    Not an anti-smoking (free country lol) but and anti smokey goods rant

    If someone has a shop or store of stuff and they smoke in there, the stuff will smell of smoke... I bought some airgun spares from Dennis Hiller, he is a great bloke and a pleasure to deal with, I got his old-fashioned typed and photocopied catalogue, about sixty pages of A4, the really shocking thing is the smell of it! He must have been a chain smoker when he ran that business, the catalogue stank to high heaven! I still have it and after two years it still smells pretty bad.

    Don't suggest you put the catalogue through the washing machine
