"Expensive" compared to - what exactly??

(Anyway I said slightly - I'm fine now ...)

Oh, I guess Trooper is cheaper in pommyland - Down here it's bloody $14 a bottle, if you can find it

Ah, suddenly everything becomes clear! Not sure of the exchange rate but $14 a bottle does indeed sound expensive. Around here you can get it for £1.66 a bottle in Asda but you can usually find some multibuy offer - I got mine as part of a 4 for £6 deal - so basically it's no more expensive than any of the others. I suppose the price difference is down to the travelling, and the care needed for it to be still drinkable when it arrives.

$14AUD works out to about 8 quid. The situation is made much worse by it not being stocked by any major (or indeed minor) chains, so those places that do have it aren't benefited by economies of scale. There are one or two ales that are available at bigger retailers at roughly $20 for a six-pack (just over 11GBP - not brilliant, but no worse than any other decent beer. Almost everything is expensive in 'Straya).

Holy shit.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Unbelievable, isn't it?

 

[Diesel 11]

Yes. What madness can this conspiracy come from?

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

Not really

 

[Diesel 11]

I see.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

Do you, though?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I just see machines of death. Why would anyone want to be associated with that?

You can ask him but he wont reply

I could change mine to an EA-6B Prowler, nice crossover of military hardware and Maiden song title.

But a rubbish avatar. Don't do it!
