Saves people buying 2 packs of 20 a day...

I used to have First Field Dressings with Tampon written (French) all over them.

But they don't have that tobacco flavour, and they burn really weirdly.

And I keep getting strange looks from women when I smoke them.

Question Re: fags in 40s and tampax in 10s - what is it with this place?

Could anyone please tell me how much more expensive these cigarettes are than the UK? And do I have any chance of getting any menthol cigarettes preferably Richmond or berkeley?

You can get menthol ciggies but I don't know the brands. Can't compare prices to UK as I haven't bought them there for 6 years. Here you can get a pack of 20 Superkings for between $9-10.50 depending on where you go. Most brands are a similar price. Supermarkets have specials every now and then and there are also cut-price places like Supercigs which you can find here and there.

Give up fags - they make you unhealthy (gravely sometimes) AND you STINK to high heavens, both breath and clothes.

That is all so yesterday.

Well this would have to be the ultimate whingeing Pom thread.

"I don't like Australia because the tampons are not as good....."

I've heard everything now.

When you go back to the UK, imagine the sigh of relief as you slip one of those beaut UK tampons in.

Unbelievable....
