I don 't know about who could watch PG in Britain, but I do know that here
in the States that we just got ratings for the different tv programs being
braod cast here in the States. The Encore Channel's WAM gave PG a rating
of Y7 (for those who have no idea what that means, it maens that it is for
youth(Y) over the age of 7(7). I thought at first that the age was too
high, then I QUICKLY chnged my mind. I don't think anyone under the age of
seven could comprehend most of PG. Trust me, I am in school Studing to be
a Early Childhood Teacher (ie. Pre. K-5th grade (3year old-10 year old)).
Most of the students I have worked with so far (Kindergarten (5year olds))
have trouble remembering what day of the week it is. (but they are quickly
learning.)

PS: Murry, I have a fasination with parentheses myself. You are just
better with the spelling.
