There is a bar up the road from the slave factory, and I pop in (some) lunchtimes (very few lunchtimes, honest); the barmaid now gets the Cascade out when she sees me approaching, and actually asks if I'd like "crisps"! Guess she decided after the first few times that if she couldn't get me to speak Aussie, she had better learn English!
