Smoking is a filthy habit that has killed millions of people. Every year in the UK, some 76,000 people die from it, and many more live with debilitating illnesses that put immense strain on the NHS. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and most adults I knew were smokers, including both my parents. Mum quit in her 40s but started again 15 years later, after breast cancer had spread to her bones and liver – and she figured it couldn’t make things any worse.

I’ve stopped using scan-as-you go at the supermarket because it’s so much slower than queueing at the old tills. There’s only ever one assistant on hand to check if you are old enough to buy that bottle of Chardonnay or haven’t slipped an extra pack of paracetamol in your trolley.

Sat in the beach bar of my heavenly hotel, a bottle of Lazy Dodo rum reclines in its own mini deckchair. I confess that until I arrived in Mauritius and saw dodo memorabilia everywhere, I had no idea the island was the only home of the peculiar, long-extinct bird. I “did” know the dodo was doomed by its own deliciousness though – hunted out of existence by ravenous 17th-century sailors. Or not. The waiter puts me right as he glugs out a generous measure of the amber liquor.
