OK, there's something I need to clear up to wipe clean the Aussie name..
Fosters is a
**** beer and if you can actually find it anywhere here then you'd be (un)lucky. Aussies DON'T drink it, despite what any other countries think..
I remember a couple of years ago I was in a pub and 2 american girls asked for a Fosters and the chick behind the bar started laughing at them. They couldn't figure out why until I told them that they will find it very hard to find a place in Oz that actually sells Fosters.
There are some good beers here.. seems the poms go for the cheap and nasty though :P
Seriously though, it's a tradition. Every Christmas Day there is at least 1 pom that gets drunk and fries red raw in the hot Aussie sun, then drowns in Bondi Beach.
Maybe because it's too cold to swim in the mother land? :P
Of course you know I'm joking
