Aaah, Fr Ted, now there a smoker...

As the amount of smoke I encounter goes down, so does my tolerance for it. Even though I don't smoke I used to like the smell of cigarette smoke in the pub - it was part of going out and part of the atmosphere. Now I find standing next to someone who reeks of smoke unpleasant.
yeh i have noticed the smoke also and its not just one driver.. i'm pleased other people have noticed it. i've kept meaning to make note of the bus registration number because years ago when i complained about a bus drivers attitude to me this was the main thing they asked me for.

Of course Dermot Morgsn died but as long as I have a DVD collection and the power in my thumbs to operate a remote control then Fr Ted will always exist.

Smoking in a place of work is illegal. In what sense is the unacceptability of this offence not total.

Report the driver and get him sacked.

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
