I once found a shop that sold disposable lighters for each of the signs of the zodiac, similar to but not this. Even though it isn't my birth sign I picked up a handful of "Cancer".
Nice! I have: 1) a coffin-shapred pocket ashtray; 2) a tobacco tin with a sticker which reads 'More acceptable than w*nking'. That lighter could complete the set.
Sadly the online shop I acquired my coffin-shaped ashtray from no longer stocks it. They do however still do a nice line in stickers for...well, anywhere ;) http://www.roll-ups.co.uk/ishop/879/shopscr1918.html
Bought a zippo lighter in Port Stanley , Falklands in 1987 for my dad and it still fires up no probs. Has my squadron crest on it ( 23(F )Eagle Sqn Phantoms). My dad is long since dead but I noticed yesterday that my mum had polished it and given it pride of place on the mantlepiece on my dad's birthday.

Good old Zippo! Are they still the only ones that will fire up even in a howling gale?
Excellent - you also want the one John Wayne used to give to the troops in Vietnam that had 'Fuck Communism' inscribed on it.
manwiddicombe - that's a great idea. I'll look out for those.
PT Barnum - a coffin shaped ashtray? A definite must-have.
JuliaM - they do light in a gale but it's not a good idea. A six-foot horizontal flame can be a bit scary.
Anon - there really should be a shop dedicated to all these things.

I was just browsing the BNP site today to see what thier view is on the smoking ban. I came accros this article from 2009.
http://bnp.org.uk/2009/05/bnp-mails-election-appeal-to-32000-pubs/
In it Nick Griffin clearly states:
"For a start we’d end the smoking ban, abolish business rates for pubs, slash the duty on beer served in licensed premises."
So its BNP for me then!
