Why Matthew, it's not "that word", it's "that word which must not be
named". Unfortunately there are those in this country who can't say
certain words, see naked bodies or practice the religion of their
choice. This is indeed the land of the free and the home of the
"depraved". Please stay as British as you are. I informed my family last
week that if my husband dies before I do, I am moving to Scotland to live
out my life. You may not have beautiful teeth in the U.K., but you do have
beautiful minds.

Best,

Nancy
