Does anyone recall that years ago there where signs up stateing that you would be fined for spitting in the street, early 70s maybe, if i recall it was to pevent the spread of TB. i can remeber my Dad explaing what the sign said and the reason why. my husband thinks i am a bit mad cause he cant recall them and he is older than me!

great, thankyou Angry for a polite response, was begining to think i may need to look up the definition of FORUM. spitting is a pet hate of mine and think that with the rise in TB cases that we should all take a stand to protect our selves

Thankyou,thought i maybe could not trust my memory anymore. i made my daughter and her friend wash windows when they were about 6 yrs old because they had spat on them, they are now grown women and still remember the lesson they learnt and never spit.

I'm a smoker and I'm affraid to say that I myself like to "hock up" a nice juicy phlegm/s throughout Lewes town, I also have TB but smoking just creates so much mucus that I just can't help myself, its almost like suffocating on my own phlegm if I don't get it out...
And no, I'm not kidding!

Please do, Dunk.
I'm going to do my best to infect people so you better watch out and start wearing protection around the mouth and nose.

Ha Ha! It will be like that film "28 Days Later" and the people of lewes will get infected and and turn to Zombies. - On a serious note though, I'd be lying if i said ive never spat on the ground, and atleast you're not flobbing in anyones faces. People would say that you should spit in a tissue or handkerchief, but i must admit i wouldnt want to walk around with a pocket full of mucus.
