FAIL! No Australian drinks Fosters, ever, even if the alternative is to drink your own, or even someone elses' piss.

It has always been a marvel to me that CUB sell so much of the stuff, it must all be for export.

Anything Paul Hogan puts his name to is OK by me!

Fosters? Tasted like an Angel crying on your tongue.....

Back in the late 70s, The Aristocrat pub in Southend was selling the new fangled lager named Fosters in pint sized cans.

Save for the white stilletos/handbags bit, because such things originated in northern cities, I can't argue with that.

I thought Denial was a river in Egypt, but as ever, Essex has it in spades.

Hold up. When did you leave Old Blighty?

1970, but I came back 2000-2004 as a foreigner, and was most grateful to be so.
