Love will literally be in the air for one lucky couple as a local English radio station offers a chance to join the mile high club over America.
Big L radio in the sleepy English coastal town of Frinton, some 60 miles northeast of London, is inviting couples for the next week to go on air and describe how they are growing old in a suitably disgraceful manner.
The winning couple, who will be selected by a panel of judges appointed by the radio station, will be flown to Atlanta, Georgia and put onboard a private plane equipped with champagne and a double bed to take to the air in amorous style.
Frinton is not normally a place where one discusses sex, and indeed given the average age of the inhabitants this is probably a good thing. Before this Frinton was notorious for its lack of pub (a lack rectified in 2000) and for the graffiti added to the BR advert about the Harwish Boat Train - original slogan "Harwich for the continent" to which was added "Frinton for the incontinent."
