First visit to overseas family happened in the mid '70s, Germany and Austria. In the home of close family friends they happened to have one of those huge department store catalogues, inches thick, just sitting on the lounge room side table - Macy's sort of thing. Idly picked it up, flicked through it - women's fashion, mens's, kids toys, furniture, kitchen utensils, electricals, hardware, all the usuals - until the last half dozen pages ... hooley dooley!!! "Adult toys" in full glorious colours, the whole deal ...
Ummm - these Europeans were open-minded, indeed ...
