Hi HP,

The reason you keep falling over them is that we have a different drinking culture.

Have to say things have changed in the last couple of years, though - abstinence makes the heart grow fonder? You did say, however, it was when you were having trouble getting a drink at the bar so maybe things will be different when you try this year.

As for tipping we pay bar staff a living wage without expecting them to rely on handouts. Takes people a while to adjust to the different lifestyle in the colonies.

Pip Pip! Just like old times!

Cheers,
George
