Oh political correctness.....I'm gonna be in a world of faecal matter when I hop across the pond.

Although I must admit things are not much better over in the UK.

It does remind me of years ago at a military event in Holland when I was sat having a beer with some GI's and asking "do you have a spare fag"?

The look was priceless from across the table. It was then I had to quickly say "cigarette, I mean a cigarette!"

I think one of them may have winked at me though.


Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
