Sound like doing logistics in the US is much harder than UK, EU or China. Although I've heard that logistics in the EU can be harder now, because of Covid-19 border restrictions.

I know my mum worked as a barmaid at The Kicking Donkey for a few years in the 60s. Because I can remember playing in the garden there and been in the bar when I was little.

I see this pub is actually on Trip Advisor. :)

Coincidence! I just came from another forum where someone posted that there was a German word for the thing we were discussing.

Once upon a time in the 1970s, there was a very popular BBC sitcom called "Are You Being Served?", that was set in a London department store. And one of the main character's punch lines was "I'm free".

Apparently it is available in the US, on DVD from Amazon.

EDIT

Something I didn't know until a few minutes ago, they actually made a movie of Are You Being Served? in 1977.

Just ordered it, and now waiting in anticipation of the DVD arriving from Guangzhou.

BTW buying your videos and movies on physical media isn't obsolete just yet.
