Your input is welcome Peggleg.It's nice to read about other peoples filing
systems.Some of it might be useful to my own.
I too used to smoke but a nasty bout of oral cancer stopped me in my tracks. If
anyone wants to stop smoking just nip down to your local maxillofacial clinic
and talk to a few post op patients.Some of them may not be able to answer you.
Ooooh! just read this back - sorry to sound so morbid.
RIB.
