For all the thirsty Scots in NZ & Oz
Here is the link to Barr's Irn Bru site Down Under, which gives you a list of distributors in your area
http://www.irn-bru.com.au/
For any non-Irn Bru drinkers, it is the best hangover cure in the world, and Scotland's 2nd national drink
Cheers!

Do not be temted by the diet variety as its hangover curing properties are not that of its full fat brother.
It was all i could drink when i was pregnant with both my boys, i had to visit 3 tescos in my local area of englandshire to find it when i discovered i was pregnant this time and had visions of having to ship it down under with me.

I wish we could but I have a feeling that customs might be a bit funny about it!
There is a ditributor in SA so hopefully we can stock up from him

Irn Bru, Scottish Bread and square slice. Stop it, you're bringing back a load of memories of childhood holiday's to stay with my family in Paisley. Do you remember when they tried to relaunch Irn Bru here about 8-9 years ago? The advert on the telly was hysterical. Whisky and Irn Bru is also very nice. (That was one xmas I can't remember!)
