Will have to start smoking roll ups again!

[Malish]

I use plastic trays typically found in carry out food shops, like these: -

Takeaway Containers

£8 for 20 tubs, compared to around £5 to buy one tobacco tin, or £25 for the plastic pouch full of Tobacco.

we just recycle former Thai takeaway food containers via the dishwasher

Don't for

That’s as maybe but On a French Dufour 24 I think I would cut a dash with a roll up hanging off my owner lip in a stripped jersey

Don't forget the characteristic black serge beret....

A beret with a stripey top is way too close to white greasepaint and gloves



Although you could be hauling on an imaginary jib sheet

I think Wansey sees himself more along the lines of this chap;

This had me wondering how much a packet of cigarettes is now. It seems they are around £15 to £18.

My brain thinks that20 Benson & Hedges were 6/8 when I stopped smoking, but I was about 22, and we'd already gone decimal, so it must have been about 38p, which I thought was dear. For the days I was feeling poor there was always the dreaded No 6 at 1/3 the price, but with good reason.

Going back to Wansey's storage solution, tobacco tins stack and pack well, but have the disadvantage that you can't see what's in them. I have a couple of things like this on Jazzcat

Cheapy ones like mine turn up from time to time in Aldidl

If you want to go for the French look, avoid roll-ups. You need Gauloises, Disque Bleu or Gitanes.

Will certainly cut a dash, but not help with the storage tin quest.

Are you planning to go the whole French hog, and affect that insouciant air (and lack of fenders) when docking, etc?

Poff!!

My big concern with those containers ……total disaster if the contents cascade into the bilge(what there is of it)

With mine, the handle is part of the top and the bottom, so little danger of it coming open when I pick it up., but it lives in a shallow locker so, while a PITA, it wouldn't be a disaster if that did happen.

I think Wansey will be more like Bouba who is more like:

I really miss the old 35mm film containers for screws, split pins & bits that might come in handy etc.
Regarding roll ups, in The Grapes of Wrath, Tom Joad was advised to take up smoking because the act of rolling cigarettes was a good way to make social connections. is that still valid?

I think Wansey will be more like Bouba who is more like:

Arthur Bostrom, who played Crabtree was the only cast member who actually spoke French.

Since cigarettes started costing a pound each, much of the social aspect of “bumming a fag” has disappeared, so I’m told.

35mm film manufacturing has been ramping back up for several years. You may not like the cost of those containers either, but developers may give them away free as they used to.

I know a Twister you could buy for £1. It comes with several free tobacco tins.
