I don't know why my mind immediately turns to drink, I'm sure there are much more important ones! [B

Hic!
G'day

When I went to the UK, I was always amazed, shocked, disgusted, whatever when I used to turn up for dinner parties and naturally being an Aussie I'd taken along some some top quality plonk and the host would look at with delight, say thanks and lock it in his cupboard while serving me some 1 pound per bottle Tesco's vino.

I think it's the pommie cistoms that are wierd.
