Sachet ! Probably thought you were talking about a new dance craze!
Considering its our National dish and the Australian background that is incredible,,maybe it's a deliberate slight on things British?.when Americans visit here they can't get enough of our trad F&Chips,No vinegar is almost as bad as a pub with no beer!,,,,BTW, do they drink "real ale" in Australia or is it that chemical stuff that my husband says pretends to be lager.....That would say it all...

1) Find the odd beer that's OK.. I.E. Some of the James Squire stuff. or
2) I am developing a taste for Aussie beer:scared: *shudders at the very thought*

Just bought myself a pack of 5 for £6.00, and for the record they were made in Egypt! Dare I confess it was two years since I last bought any, that's how long they last......and they are still going strong, LOL!

God your going to miss that insulation and cheap heating. We rent a house it's up for sale at $460,000 and you can see daylight through the floorboards :scared: it's weatherboard which the Aussies love but as far as I'm concerned it's just a well decorated shed. You get a lot more for your money regarding solid house with cavity wall insulation, double glazing and central heating in England, might not be as big and might have to share a wall with the neighbours but won't cost you a fortune in heating and cooling.
