The Yanks should get some Aussies in charge of their economy and sort it out, in OZ there was no recession and no banks or companies collapsing Aussie deficit is tiny compared to the UK and miniscule compared to the US. |

When do you get a decent beer like Stella for $10 or less in Australia? Never. Can't even get 6 shitty VB's at that price. |

Not sure - but I could buy 4 6-packs of Tiger for GBP14.28
Australia - Slab for $38.90 So, based on the average wages, and average buying patterns... UK - you could get 890 bottles for one weeks average wages Australia - you could get 831 bottles for one weeks average wages I agree that Australia is more expensive for this brand ;). |

That is almost a guarantee that you would find it very difficult to acclimatise here. |

A lot of people actually like VB. Not me though, but people must accept that peoples tastes vary depending on what they are brought up with, and referring to products as 'shitty', when you really mean "not to my taste", shows a certain mentality.

Okay, ABCDiamond, just to make you happy in your little ''Australia is wonderful'' world, I'll put it this way just for you, just this once: VB is not to my taste and neither is Australia. Now that I've got the phrasing right for you how do you feel about the sentiment? |

Aussie deficit is tiny compared to the UK and miniscule compared to the US. are they better regulated, it seems every economy in the western world collpased into recession except OZ:thumbup: Aussies must be alot smarter then the poms and the yanks. |
