Just goes to show how stupid the beaurocracy of the US really is. Failure to allow a product in the country for 40 years because of the spelling of a word. Didn’t have anything to do with the quality of the product. :frowning:

Well in all fairness you didn’t expect us to drink Mead when we could get real Mede instead did you? See? Holding out for 40 years finally paid off! :smiley: :wink:

I should say it was to do with the drink thing, in no way did I mean to imply the US was silly.

Of course not , Rod , heaven forfend !!!
Methinks Richard doth jest with thee .
Of course , the Americans may be right , after all , "by the stream and o’er the mead "-- means “…o’er the meadow” . Now , I wouldn’t drink a meadow dry after seeing the cows loitering there . Perhaps the 'murricans are more perceptive than thought .

Must be the law of the Mede and Persian, which altereth not.

My maternal Grandfather’s name was Mead. He came from the coal mines of Wales. My sainted mother was a Mead until she became a Featherkile.

I suppose that some would say that explains a lot. :smiley:

I think it was Warren who suggested that a certain beauracracy might be silly. This is the first time that I find myself agreeing with Warren about anything political!

See what Mead will do? Dangerous stuff, that!
