2 days to go
As I ran my razor sharp mind through yesterday's entry over a cup of Horlicks, I realised something didn't quite fit. If kids these days have near on perfect teeth, then how come we are never away from the dentist with them. Well that's simple - because of the orthodontist of course.
Now that decay and fillings are on the wane, the dentistry profession needs to find other means to boost revenue. So there is a new sign of puberty in young adults - the brace. And some amazing contraptions there are too! They've almost become a fashion accessory as opposed to a stigma. Except in our house. 
God know why it's all necessary. I mean, in my day you just let nature sort it out unless there was a really serious problem. There was none of this American-inspired longing for perfect teeth. Yes - so what I'm saying is that as well as having a dodgy wisdom tooth, stained enamel, an aversion to cold drinks and perfumed breath, my teeth are lined up like Scotland's wall for that free kick against Peru in 1978.
