Ice cream floats

well yesterday I was out with my darling husband.  
when we stopped by Ed's diner (two that I know of in London, one right near the Trocadero...next to YO sushi).  He ordered a milkshake...and I couldn't.   A) because they don't taste enough like the ones at home...and B)because they make me illlll. :O  I'm lactose intolerant and can only handle small amounts of dairy at a time lol.  Now if this had been say...a steak and shake kinda shake...well heck, I'da risked it...no lie.    Anyway, so I was sitting there waiting for the waiter and I was saying to David how much I really missed root beer floats (mmm...mug...watch out wish, I may have to visit up near you soon mua ha)...and then the waiter showed up and I just looked at him and asked him if he knew what a float was (being quite prepared to explain it to him if he didn't hehe).  Luckily he did.  So yesterday, I had a sprite float.       yay!
wench
just thought I'd share...

Oh Wench!    That sounds so good.  When I was a kid, my grampa owned a drug store complete with soda fountain in the front.  I used to love 7-up floats.  Haven't had one in nearly 30 years.   Alright, now I'm thirsty.
