Dangit, I'll have to have someone apart from John (gave him a pipe) smoking if only for realism.
Can't somehow see Susan in that role though.
You have to be right about John. We know that the real Roger was asthmatic and did pioneering work in that field, so I'd say smoking- no.
But the D&Gs would have been on inshore boats, probably, and I'll bet they would smoke a whole lot. Probably Woodbines.
But Dorothea now... A modern girl. Maybe a Radar Op in the war, writing in the evenings to cheat the boredom. A candidate for Craven 'A's if I ever saw one.
