Hockney: lots to be grumpy about

Always good to see David Hockney in the news. Last night he was interviewed on Newsnight and today he is featured in the Independent. As ever, he managed - in both interviews - to take a swipe at the smoking ban. Click HERE for the Independent interview. The reference to Hockney turning up at Labour's annual conference "to lead a protest funded by the tobacco companies" concerns an occasion I first wrote about HERE. Days like that don't come round very often and you appreciate it even more when they do. Thinking about it still makes me laugh.

There are many. many grumpy old men and women, who have been smoking inside pubs for forty, fifty years and more. We are now forbidden to do what we have been allowed to do for most of our lives.

I bet there are now a lot more really grumpy old men and women stood outsise pubs and clubs smoking, or staying at home and smoking. These are the ones that may not be so grumpy 'cos it's probably costing them less!
