My friend's father had one moved onto his propeerty in the Pocono Mountains and used it as a summer cottage.

Dad still has bread & dripping on the odd occasion we have roast beef.
Then again, he used to have cold Yorkshire puddings with jam. Grandad always talked about kippers and jam, but I don't know that he ever ate it. Jam would seem like an expensive addition to something that didn't really need it. Ashtrays in pubs/ workplaces. Nothing dates a TV drama quite as much as people smoking inside. It's because the ban is relatively new - in 10 years time it will all simply look "old" whereas now it's recent enough to jar. (Watching The Green Wing the other day and was really quite shocked to see people smoking at work). |

Roseanne did a bit about it on her show: Lucy smoked, Desi smoked, Bewitched smoked. I don't know about the second Darrin but the first Darrin smoked. |

That is exactly what I'm saying. Map and a compass have become archaic.
