Cross your fingers - might be publicity!

LOL, that sounded like i'd never heard of the place, just wondered where in relation to London or wherever it's likely to be held...

I could fly there, you could train to meet me, then we could train to wherever it is...would be an adventure...lol

I remember the first time i flew to Stansted, must have been around 4 or 5 years ago now...i was going to stay with a friend i'd never met before in Norwich, she was picking me up...at that point, i'd never been anywhere on my own before, that distance away, i mean..i was flippin terrified...but she was lovely, i had a great weekend and we've met several times since

What i'm afraid of is if this ban goes through, it includes a ban on importing juice into the country

then we really would be snookered

If the Regulators do their jobs properly I'm certain there will be a ban on imports. Australia, for example has a total ban on e-cigarettes and yet Trog says he has no problem sending his SD there - I'm pretty sure the Aussie customers don't fuel their SD's with RooJuice!!

Where there's a will, there's a way - I'll let you know what the conditions are like in Holloway!

Why don't we organise a day ourselves? A tobacco harm reduction day or a vapers day or something?

Kate- YES YES YES - I'll commit to being anywhere, anytime for a BIG thingy!!!

IMHO would look feeble just a few of us with banners - THOUGHT - - - there's gotta be a pub, nightclub, whatever doing badly somewhere - courtesy of smoking ban - that would get involved with a big "LAUNCH" thing ??? (to revive their business ? - who cares about motives )

If local media to "wherever" were enticed ONboard - could be story in - - - AT ........... you can smoke electronic cigs INDOORS in the warmth with your friends - - - come on down!!!!!! - - - DATE - - - !!!

EVEN - for those of you who haven't tried them E CIGS will be ON SALE (at discount for one night only ???) - - - get SUPPLIER involved too !!

Forgive me if I'm getting carried away BUT WHY NOT ??

IT COULD BE DONE

Businesses could benefit & SO COULD THE ANTI BAN CAMPAIGN

They have 'Vape-ins' in the States, maybe we could do that then.

So that's settled, all we have to do is decide where, when and how (if the ban happens).

I wanted to do something for stop smoking day but it's on Wednesday and just didn't get my act together. The next big date is the decision about the future of unlicensed nicotine products by the MHRA, that's going to be 21st June I think (not sure) which is also summer solstice - a good day to celebrate if we can. Otherwise we could wait and see what happens with the consultation and organise a day of mourning or celebration after that but that means hanging around and we could still do that anyway even if we had another day for a vape-in.

Somewhere easy to get to for as many folks as possible would be my only suggestion for a place. Once we have a location I can try to find a venue that would be vaper friendly through smoker networks I'm following.

We could even have local events if there was enough interest.

I won't be able to attend, I'm not much good out of the house because of mental health issues I have but am very happy to help organise something.

[Chrissie]

((((Kate)))), you sound so much like me. I'm not much good out of the house these days either

[kate]

Thanks {{{Chrissie}}}

What about Liverpool for a Vape In? That's kind of handy for Ireland as well as being near the middle of England. It has good transport links too. I guess it might not be far enough north to be handy for Scots though.

[Lilac]

No good for me Kate, Ryanair doesn't fly to Liverpool

[kate]

Oh sorry Lilac. What about Manchester, Leeds or Birmingham?

They're having a Vape Fest over in the States next weekend. Lots of US folks are talking about it and getting excited

[Lilac]

Going out for the night soon Kate, but i'll check tomorrow

[lolli]

Hi guys

Not been around for a couple of days - - - sore throat - went to bed - coughed - stayed there - felt sorry for self - still ache everywhere - hey ho, such is life

From where I am, (south coast) Ryanair will take me to Edinburgh, Dublin or Europe so if there's anywhere to go, I'll have to drive

[Chrissie]

(((Lolli))) sorry to hear you are poorly Hope you feel better soon.

[foxy9212]

Poor Loll! It rather looks as though you've succumbed to the nasty lurgy that I'm just getting over now. Keep warm and safe.

The only airport down souff they fly to is Stansted

Easyjet fly to all London airports but no Manchester, Leeds or Birmingham

[lolli]

Thank you for well wishes lovely ones - hope they work soon :-)

Worried as radio interview likely any day now - & I sound dreadful, between violent coughing!!!

Anyone know what will "dry it up" ??? - without inducing semi-coma!!!
Back in the stone age, I used to buy "Contact 400" - magic - but, no longer made - - - probably been banned

(Lilac - If i'm driving, could always pick others up en route - ish ?)

[Chrissie]

Lolli, the Day Nurse capsules work quite well0 & don't make you feel at all sleepy.
