Technically, they don’t sell wine at Woolworths (which is a chain of supermarkets in Australia), but most supermarkets in New South Wales have a bottle shop next door separate from the supermarket, but where you can buy the full range of alcoholic drinks. It’s not quite the same (legally) as those states in the U.S. where you can buy wine and beer in the supermarket, but in practice it’s not all that different. Other states will vary in the details of their licensing laws, but none have any restrictions like those in the drier of the states in the U.S.
How often does the average Scottish man wear a kilt?
(Kilts are so hot.)
:rolleyes:
I do remember it being in a separate section of the store, though I think I remember being able to get there from the rest of the store without going outside. We weren’t buying anything else, so I don’t know if we could have paid for other stuff and wine at the same register.
I lived in California at the time, where you can buy beer, wine, and liquor in the supermarket. Buying wine at Woolworth’s in Australia didn’t seem all that different from what I was used to at home, as a practical matter.
Of course, Mr. Neville and I are not, and were not then, anything close to underage, nor did we look like we were. I don’t know what buying alcohol in Australia is like if you’re underage or look like you might be.
Yes thank you Canada for saving us from Quebec and its insidious poutin, wait I love poutin, I am making a flight reservation for Ville de Quebec right now. Why do we have a border with Canada, personally I think its pointless but that is another thread all on its own:D
Right on schedule.
We do, unfortunately. The official stance (adopted by banks and pre-printed on cheques) is DDMMYYYY. In practice Canadians will use any old date format that they can think of, including writing a different format over top of the pre-printed format. When you work with dates at all, this is a major pain in the ass, and the reason that I always use letters for the month.
Has it only been that long?

What comprises breakfast in various parts of the world? As an American, I consider a typical breakfast to be eggs/meat/bread and/or potatoes, or a bowl of cereal, or pancakes/waffles with a breakfast meat, or biscuits with sausage gravy. Leftover pizza is also acceptable. 
What’s breakfast like in China or India or South Africa or Uruguay - pick any country. Does the rest of the world start the day with sugary cereal and little marshmallows? Or leftovers from supper? Or tea and toast?
What’s with all the 'or’s and '/'s? Those should be 'and’s.
Do you really have that big a breakfast every day?
For me, it’s tea and toast. Or cereal and tea. (substitute porridge for cold winter mornings). Or a croissant and coffee from Tim’s. That’s about it.
I don’t always have such a big breakfast. If there’s no pizza ( 
), I’ll do egg and toast, or cereal, or I’ll splurge and get an egg/meat/cheese sandwich from a local place. But on weekends, we like to go out for breakfast, and we may well do, for example, an omelet with home fries and sausage. And when we do, we rarely have lunch.
MMMMM Tim Bits, here we do often eat a giant breakfast if you ever have the chance go to a Cracker Barrel for breakfast its astoundingly huge. This might explain people of wal mart:p
Granola bar and black coffee, followed a bit later by a mandarin orange.
No breakfast on weekends typically.
Averages are difficult, but I’d estimate that the average scotsman wears a kilt only once in his life, at a wedding (his own or someone else’s). Then at the reception he gets drunk and flashes the bridesmaids, and is never allowed to wear one again.
If you wear trousers every day does that mean your penis remains unwashed?
Why are people even bothering to answer these questions?
I’m not American and I wouldn’t expect reviews to contain “real” spoilers. I’d be pretty annoyed if my friends told me John dies at the end too.
There are some “dry” places in Australia due to the high rate of alcoholism in Aborignals. There was always a way around getting alcohol by just knocking on the back door of a pub or store and producing ID showing you were from out of town.
Because the Thai women have straight teeth?
Breakfast in North India often comprises of rotis or prontis, flatbread, lightly fried/sauteed in ghee (clarified butter) and cooked on a tava (flat griddle). With it comes some achaar, pickled mango or lemon, and some delicious sweet makhan, butter made from yogurt. It’s sweeter than any of our butters. Sometimes there might be a sabzi (vegetable) with it, sometimes not. If it’s a roti, which is usually just plain flour with maybe a little bit of cumin in it, there will most likely be a veggie. If it’s a pronti, they usually have stuff inside. Not stuffed though - think thinner than a quesadilla. And it’s often mooli (daikkon or white horseradish), cauliflower, or potato, with lots of spices and herbs and fucking delicious.
When I went to india and visited with my family for the first time they bought me all of these cakes and pastries and sweets. After a couple of weeks I asked them why they bought me those…they said they thought that’s what we ate in India! Meanwhile I’m sitting on the floor with them eating rotis out of the same plate as my cousins with my hands.
I love India. I love visiting.

Because they entered a thread titled “Dumb questions you have about other nations/cultures.”
Someone once asked me if “Chile” was named after the food.
