Pipe Smoking

[hc4361]

My dad smoked a pipe but I don't know anyone who smokes a pipe today. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone smoking a pipe.

Does anyone here smoke a pipe?

So much has changed now. Portland Road was where the local HQ of the BBC were located.

looks like Stephen Fry was the last Pipe Smoker of the Year

originally Pipeman of the Year; I suppose they changed the name so as not to be sexist, but that didn't mean a woman was ever chosen.

I recognised the Shieldfield Inn and Christ Church, with the tall spire, and is still there.
