The June 2012 . Issue 74 www.thevillagemagazine.co.uk Fishbourne • Bosham • Chidham • Nutbourne • Hambrook • Southbourne THAMES BADGE ‘ALICE’ SAILING THE SOLENT TVM 1 TVM 2 Editorial June Tide Table Anne has forgotten to issue instructions as to the length of my bit of Chichester Harbour Entrance - High Water Nautical chart/publication appears courtesy the editorial this month, so in true style I can get back on my high HMSO and UK Hydrographic Office horse again! This month’s target is smokers. Not that I am so incensed, Date Day A.M H P. M H now that I can go out for an evening and not have to put everything I 1st Fri 9.12 4.4 21.42 4.7 was wearing straight in the wash, nor wake up half way through the 2nd Sat 10.11 4.6 22.34 4.8 night with the pillow stinking like an old ash tray. What I’m talking 3rd Sun 11.04 4.7 23.22 4.9 about is car smokers, you know the ones who drive along, slightly 4th Mon 11.56 4.8 swerving – in true mobile phone user fashion – whilst groping around 5th Tues 0.11 4.9 12.50 4.9 to find the packet and light up, all while maintaining a steady 60mph. 6th Wed 1.02 4.9 13.48 4.9 The ones with the ‘Baby on Board’ sticker in the window – to remind 7th Thurs 1.54 4.8 14.41 4.8 other road users they need to be extra careful as they have a precious 8th Fri 2.45 4.7 15.30 4.8 cargo on board - and then with the windows firmly shut proceed to 9th Sat 3.35 4.6 16.15 4.6 chain smoke throughout their journey. But what really annoys me is 10th Sun 4.23 4.4 17.00 4.5 the litter! Throwing rubbish from cars is thankfully very rare these 11th Mon 5.13 4.2 17.47 4.3 days, excepting certain Take Away connoisseurs, who rather than walk 12th Tues 6.04 4.0 18.37 4.2 two yards to a bin, chuck the wrappers and often half the contents out 13th Wed 7.01 3.9 19.35 4.0 wherever they happen to have parked. Most people I know have some sort of receptacle in the vehicle to collect the odd sweet wrapper or 14th Thurs 8.08 3.8 20.42 4.0 parking ticket and wouldn’t dream of winding down the window and 15th Fri 9.20 3.9 21.45 4.1 chucking something out. However smokers seem to think it is perfectly 16th Sat 10.18 4.0 22.34 4.2 acceptable to fling their matches, fag ends – often still alight, and often 17th Sun 11.04 4.2 23.14 4.3 the packets out into the road. I have heard claims of dog ends being so 18th Mon 11.47 4.3 23.56 4.4 small they are unnoticeable and the material all being bio-degradable 19th Tues 12.27 4.4 so it’s not really litter – well I’ve got one thing to say to that – 20th Wed 0.32 4.4 13.05 4.4 RUBBISH!! I can’t say I haven’t had a crafty puff on a cigarette – but 21st that was about 30 years ago, but the only type of smoker I’m likely to Thurs 1.07 4.4 13.41 4.5 get involved with nowadays is my trusty copper model, kindly donated 22nd Fri 1.43 4.4 14.17 4.5 to me – a beekeeper’s best friend! Happy Diamond Jubilee ~ Fiona 23rd Sat 2.19 4.4 14.54 4.5 Crickey, someone has really got up Fiona’s nose ! So much so she’s 24th Sun 2.58 4.4 15.34 4.5 taken up most of the space again - well that’s you smokers fault ! 25th Mon 3.41 4.4 16.18 4.5 Actually when I watch ITV iplayer there is a very good anti-smoking 26th Tues 4.30 4.3 17.09 4.4 advert, maybe I could get it on DVD for Fi to watch. We are a non 27th Wed 5.27 4.2 18.04 4.4 smoking household, thank goodness - my Dad gave his habit in 1964 28th Thurs 6.27 4.2 19.04 4.3 when his Senior Service went up to 2/4d - that’s 25p !!!
