no matter what tho... I never wanted to drink warm beer. I heard the brits only drink warm beer tho because they have joe lucas built refridgerators... or maybe it's just the weather.
Ah, two more tidbits that you've "heard". You hear a lot of things, don't you Lazs? One thing I learned a long time ago was to be selective about believing the things I'd "heard". Especially in a pub, and more especially in a pub after 10pm.
What's a Joe Lucas refrigerator? Ripsnort once said (well actually he cut and pasted, because he never posts anything original):
Brits snack on tiny sandwiches taken out of refrigerators that barely house a small bottle of milk and a few daily necessities, while America's housewives shop less frequently because their refrigerators are close to walk-in size. All because American working folks produce more of just about everything in any year than their European counterparts.
And of course, it's bollocks. The inside of my refrigerator looks like this.
There are some much bigger refrigerators of course, but I live alone so mine is good for me. As you can see it could hold numerous packages of frozen french fries, several pounds of hamburger meat, a couple of turkeys, 5 gallons of milk, a few cream krispy kreme pies, 4 gallons of ice cream. And yet here's Ripsnort saying that our refrigerators are only big enough to house a few daily necessities.
Oh wait - I guess that for a corpulent American, the above list IS just a few daily necessities!
