A Happy New Year to you and all your colleagues.
Following my recent treatment in Budapest you and your associates may be interested or amused by my experience back in October.
I was in Budapest for 12 days for the final stages of my treatment (implant-retained partial denture).
As I am sure you are aware, travel on the metro and all public transport in Budapest is free if you are an EU national and aged 65 or over. Whilst I was there I used the metro every day. The entrances and exits are manned by groups of forbidding-looking ticket inspectors. Not once was I challenged on the first 11 days. However, on the 12th. day, equipped with my new teeth, as soon as I entered the metro station 'Opera', a gruff voice demanded: 'Ticket!'. I produced my passport as evidence of my entitlement of free transport and he said 'OK'.
The conclusion to be drawn is that up until then I had looked my age but with my new teeth I was apparently much younger.
Many thanks for my new-found youth!
Best regards
