It was my comfort in those miserable times?
No one's allowed to smoke, or tell a dirty joke, and whistling is forbidden
If chewing gum is chewed, the chewer is pursued and in the hoosegow hidden
If any form of pleasure is exhibited, report to me, and it shall be prohibited
I'll put my foot down, so shall it be, this is the land of the free
Groucho Marx 1933

Profound. The country seems to be run by those who wish to see the whole of the UK reduced to prisons and churches.
I know what you mean, i am woman and often whistle [ never heard a female here in Uk whistle, so i whistle whilst walking in the forest. I still smoke , chew gum but chuck the gum in bin's, have dogs but pick up their litter, you are soooo right there is not much fun left is there, one of these days we will not be allowed to have sex without someone watching us and telling us we are not allowed to do it this or that way, quite pathetic really. But i do agree with smoking ban's as i have never smoked in other peoples houses or pubs etc.:)
