I don't think this applies in small shops.

Yeah don't think it applies to small shops as one of Co-ops in my city doesn't do it and then Tesco, which is literally around the corner for Co-op do.

Same here, small shops still have them on display. Supermarkets don't.

The spar shop I work in has them on display - the law says that shops of a certain size have to have them hidden. All shops will be doing it by about 2015 I think. Ridiculous rule IMO, it's not exactly going to stop people smoking,

Rita banning Steve from the Kabin, I doubt it would affect him he could easily go across the road to Devs, I'm sure Dev sells fags and newspapers.

Not only that, but Rita doesn't even own the shop any more. I am sure Norris will be pleased.

Exactly, she acts like the Boss banning not only Steve but all the street car workers.

I've been in loads of smaller shops (even smaller outlets of 'big name' shops) and the shutters aren't down ... so I don't think CS is being unrealistic here.

I appreciate what you are saying but Steve was soooo pathetic at the school crossing. If I was a lollipop lady, I would have rammed the signpost right up his oogikapoof! Hahaha...I just invented a new word! And what a pathetic ‘filler type’ storyline.

They are both pathetic. First Dennis embarrassed about being a lollipop man, then Steve mocking Dennis and turning into a kid and now this stupid feud.

Thanks for info... I too was thinking why The Kabin still had them on show when supermarkets have them behind screens.

Steve is getting just too silly to believe, and his storylines have been like that for a long time. He just has not got the comedy in him, but that's just my opinion.

This only applies in huge shops/supermarkets.

Rather daft but I guess it stops the people from smoking as you can easily tell them there is none left.

I queried why a local T***o Express had fags on show when their larger versions have to have them covered, and was told that they, S********s Local and other small versions of the big supermarkets are classed as convenience stores, the same as corner shops and newsagents, so can have them on show for now.

Small shops, like the Kabin, are exempt from the law until 2015.

Which would then give cigarettes the aura of illicitness, thereby making them more attractive. Prohibition didn't stop people drinking and it hasn't stopped people taking drugs. Such silly sledgehammers to crack nuts never do. It's called human nature.
