Well in Australia it is
Is my son truly Australian? His fathers day present to me: 5 different beers.
Traditional Aussie gift Amber Fluid
That's an unusual number there were 6 in my 6 pack.
Was there taste testing involved before you got them ?
Haha, I hope not. Actually there were 4 stubbies and one 660ml bottle from Holland, so it kind of counts as 6 in total
cheers!
It's harmless in many ways but I have never bothered with all these "days" as I have felt for a long time it is just a commecialised thing conjured up to get the pound out your pocket. It started with one then grew and they start stretching the thing. We will soon be getting an aunt's cousin's sister day!
Here's another one for you then. I'm going to market this.
Happy "Miserable Jock Day". I'll expect a card in the post...

Ho neeburs, better watch whit yeez'r sayin. Ah goat pullt up th'ither day fur haen a bit o a laugh ben tha forum. : D
On a lighter note, I have found an unlimited supply of Lorne over here (from Perth no less) and on my recent trip home, brought back a whole Stornoway black pudding and a ween o pies. The sad twist to the story is that I needed to get my auld man to get me the pies (of the Scotch variety) but the butcher hadn't made them so offered steak pies instead which the auld fella bought. They're just no the same.
Sorry fathers, I've totally gone OT. How about a "Sorry for taking the thread OT" card? I'll need to buy a job lot.

Maybe we've deviated but I'll stretch it a wee bit more.
In the 90's I took a camp down to Norfolk to and we were 3 miles outside Swaffam near North Pickenham. The one-man taxi firm in Swaffam did a goodly trade with our boys (6-seater car). One day he came into the cookhouse as I was talking to the cook and I mentioned ssuare sausages. He looked perplexed and thought we were talking about links. So the cook brought a whole Lorne out. He was quite bemused so we cut some and gave them to him. The night before we left he dropped in and said that he had vistors and instead of giving them steak his wife had used the "funny Scottish sausages". We gave him a whole Lorne that was left and he was as happy as a wean in a toy shop!
By the way the steak square sliced sausage is rerr!
