Some random info...
Schooners... a half pint. That is how most beer is sold. I guess so you can drink it before it's gets warm. Most brits and irish found them to be very annoying.
Vegimite... the most disgusting spread for bread i have ever tride- aside from Marmite or something like that... it is thick and dark in color and just gross... it is like the brit and Aussie Peanute butter... but it just can't compare!
At Subway (dear Jared's, Jenny Craig) they don't have chips (crisps). You can't get a 6" meal with them... only a cookie... now how is Jared supposed to maintain his weight with that?!
Foster's beer- it's gross, a different formula than the States and no one drinks it here.
Toilets... firstly when askign where the restroom is, one jsut asks where the toilet is. Or when one gets up they simply say they have to go to the toilet. Straight to the point- I like it! The toilet has a half flush and a full flush- Australia has been in a droubt and I understand it has something to do with that. I tested it it out... it's a farce... I think it is like NY's recycling program! A great idea though...
Your welcome... is no worries.
Pharmacy (or pharmascist) is Chemist... I like it... but I think that is giving them a little too much credit... they aren't making the morning after pill, or mixing up the lice shampoo... they are grabbing it off the shelf!
Raisin is a Sultana. And yes Raisin Bran cereal is Sultana Bran... I just don't get it.
Pepper as in red bell or green pepper... is CAPSICUM... huh?! That was Nick's (Snicker's) fave... he giggled everytime he got to say it!
Rocket. Every sandwhich had Rocket it in it. I avoided it for a couple of weeks till I found out it was field greens... whatever!
