THE RED LION pub at Lacock in Wiltshire offers whisky-flavoured condoms for sale. The small print at the bottom of the machine advises: "Warning-Do not drive while using this product." (16 May 1998)

So are you amused at the whiskey flavoring or the warning?!

When I worked at Donnelley's (printer); one of the mags we printed had an ad for a "programmable condom". You could put a chip in it like is in some greeting cards so that it would play a song for you. We had a great time thinking up songs that would be "appropriate". (My choice, "Horizontal Bop" by Bob Seger.) Any others?!

Just to let you know, I'm looking at this with my eyes closed.

Goodness there is a Red Lion Pub in David's home town of Drayton (outside of Norwich England). I do remember the condom dispenser in the toilets, but can't recall ever seeing whiskey flavoured. I'll read more carefully next time! Lucky I suppose that the pub is within walking distance. Kim

Ummmmmm......what does "Lacock in Wiltshire" mean anywho?

Shouldnt it be 'Elcock'?

Earthmama, it might depend whether you are french or spanish! Wiltshire is abbreviated to Wilts in postal addresses, so it might be written as "Lacock, Wilts".

"The Cock" is another common pub name and there is (really!) a pub called The Cock in Welwyn Garden City (pronounced "well in") in Hertfordshire. Postal address is "The Cock, Welwyn, Herts"
