Shame, Shame, Shame

Why is it that only the crap gets exported from Australia to the UK?

Neighbours, Kylie Minogue, and Fosters.

Yep. Fosters is the one beer that you can get at pretty much any pub that we have seen. And people actually drink it. I've seen them - I swear! If I get photographic evidence I'll post it.

The first weekend we arrived here, we found ourselves in a lovely pub in the very cosy village of Grantchester, just to the south of Cambridge. There was Fosters on tap, and a girl from Melbourne behind the bar serving it. Several patrons ordered it while I watched in disbelief.

To add insult to injury, the girl told me that one of the reasons it is popular is its relatively low alcohol content. Appalling.
