Anything to do with sharing tipped singles?

[Penny Tray]

Meg,

I'm maybe misunderstanding your interpretation of a "tipped single" but I was thinking it was more to do with spoiling an untipped roll-up

Mind you, I've never smoked!

[Meg]

Tipped singles were exactly that - and were 3d, usually sold out a packet of Bristol. But it think it meant slevering over the end of any cigarette - plain, tipped or rolled - Brian?

[Hughie]

From what I recall it was known as a "Cow's Lick" when sharing a cigarette with another and they left the end damp.

[brian f]

Meg, Penny Tray and Hughie - You have each earned a Gold star!

I have not heard of Bristol before. But remember 5 Park Drive.

Hughie,

Was a cow's lick not a section of your hair that wouldn't do what you wanted it to

[Hughie]

Maybe that too, PT. That reminded me of the time I used soap on my hair in Stevenston:

Was that not a Ducks A--e? But that was usually the back of the hair above the neck.

A Duck's A***, I think, was a hair style which resembled a 'V' shape on the back of the neck.

You don't need to take the word of a bald man though .

"Smout" - "a small insignificant person".

Haven't heard of that one PT, doubt if folk would get away with it these days.
