Roger your last! From what my brother who lives in Australia tells me, now self-respecting Aussie would even touch a Foster's - it's just brewed for export. My experience with the Aussie Cav folks resulted in their bringing out their very finest, a brand named Victoria's Bitters, or somesuch name. Course, this was 30+ years ago, we were all quite shlossed at the time, and I've since sobered up! Linguistically speaking, the Aussies have incorporated the worst British expletive - "blood" - combined with the traditional American expletive - "f**king" - and use this marvelous descriptive phrase for just about anything and everything. It was the BF Cong, the BF grub, the BF leeches... you get the picture!
