Hi Ian! I've known that cigarettes were called Fags in the UK, but I never have heard the story behind it until now! Very interesting! Definitely it is a strange thing, our language!

Ah, glad I checked this one before adding a comment to the other shot asking when wed see Ashley in the dress. Oh, and youre right she does though it would have been a slightly nicer picture without the cigarettes.
Btw do you know the slang name for them in the UK? No? Its Fags. Derived from the term originally coined for the butt which was a fag end. This because fag-end was the term for a bit of loose unwanted material or rope flapping about.
Strange thing our language!
