If you're at cruising altitude, and if the turbulence stopped five minutes ago or more, you're usually OK. Just saying, the long flights are murder for being confined to a seat.
When I got to Gatwick many moons ago, I actually asked one of the customs folks if I had to declare my $X worth of gadgets. He told me to just go through, despite $X being above the allowed limit.
Also, I was out with a few friends of mine a couple of weeks ago, two of whom are from Ireland. We stopped at a new place where one of the featured items was a "Shepherd's Pie" described as starting as a beef stew. After our waiter left, my only comment was "well, now you know what's in Shepherd's Pie!"
The sarcasm was, alas, temporarily lost. I had to explain I knew it used mutton.
