It's an Age Thing

[backblip]

The Americans confuse me sometimes. They bleep out the slightest reference to a swear word (even 'ass' got cut out when we were watching a re-reun of a Golden Girls episode, but then they run an advert for Viagra in the break - "If you're erection last longer than four hours, you should seek medical advice".Medical advice? Really?

And then they have this out on the shelves in broad daylight in plain view of women and children. Then again, if it were in Scotland (and without the 'e' in Whiskey) it might sound even more painful what with the name we give to a small stream...

Couldn't resist this wee Duty Free treat to replace the near half bottle of Whisky I had to leave behind (baggage was over the limit, maid was hanging around and wanting us out of the villa, had nothing to decant it into and thought that necking it then driving to the airport might be a tiny bit irresponsible).

A fairly pain-free experience leaving the USA today - Orlando Sanford airport was an easy drive along quiet roads and eerily deserted when we got there, making for a quick check-in and no-shoe-shuffle through security. Even dropping the hire car off was a matter of pulling into the car park and leaving it there; no need to even go into the desk.

Only 8 hours cramped in a big metal tube and we'll be back in sunny Scotland.
