Reply to: Gift for Americans…

For shooting deer my mate from Tennessee uses a bow and arrow. I kid(!) you not.

This is the same guy who whilst his wife was on Skype to us announces 'Ahm a just gonna go out and get me some Wild Turkey'.

Thinking he was popping down the offy, 15 minues later he comes back into the kitchen with a hunting rifle in one hand and massive dead turkey in the other.

Say what you like about the Septics, they don't do things by halves.

Not wanting to spend more than a bottle of Jura and something tokenly English, but I guess I could bring a bottle of English wine and see if they wax lyrical or baulk?

We used to have some Americans visit us each year and took great delight in giving them glasses of "Blue Nun" telling them that it was a quality european vintage. They looked forward to drinking it!

There are some fabulous wines from the US but it's very difficult to buy them in most American 'liquor stores'.

How much are you thinking of spending?

Take some quality chocolate theirs is ****** shocking.

You wouldn't get it past customs. All food must be binned so that Americans continue to believe Hershey (or whatever that vile crap is called) is chocolate.

I thought about that, but Florida at that time of the year is rather warm, it will be closer to Hot Chocolate.......

Take them a Wills and kate teacup and saucer. They love all that Royalty stuff, tell them the wedding was spiffing and theyve invited you for a week at Balmoral.
And when they ask you if you know a chap called Dave who lives in London, Englandland, try not to look at them as if they are retarded. which they are. generally.
