Jif - I'd say thats reasonably accurate but it misses out on a key ingredient - and dare I bring it up (so to speak) on this august forum, but the missing ingredient is... VEGEMITE!
You guys should try it as a replacement for Maple syrup - just smear it on everything whilst consuming your malt and barley sandwiches. Mmmmmm
And David, I once sold a Kombi outside Australia House (back in 78).
As Jif knows, I'm a devoted Python fan as well and do recall a night in Zephyr when you guys all sang...
"Oh I'm a umberjack and I'm O.K....."
You may also recall I filmed the event after you people had had ample amounts of the amber fluid too.
