Jordan life

CRV has observed that nearly everyone in meetings in Jordan, smokes. In the UK we have forgotten what this was like. Ted Jefferies's first modification of any new car he bought, was to add a spring clip to the dashboard to hold his (lit) pipe while driving. He would then detach the pipe from its clip at regular intervals, and suck on it to keep it alight. He also had a deft way of lighting it, clamped between his teeth, single handedly using his lighter. We became used to the smell of smoke and nicotine and tar in the car, mixed with exhaust fumes, oil, and petrol.
