Greece Is Now In Australia Apparently !

[mikey4444]

Yesterday, I was in Morrisons and really fancied a bottle of Retsina, to go with the smoked haddock that I was going to have for my dinner.

I remember those wonderful oily Retsinas from my youth, travelling around the Greek Islands.....always served from a jug ...and cheap as chips !

So I asked the Morrisons chap in the wine aisle, and he asked where did Retsina come from. when I told him Greece, he started rummaging around in the Australian section. When I asked him why, he said...."well...isn't Greece in Australia ? "

I gave up at that stage and bought a nice Muscadet instead !

OG, if you like German wines, have you tried the German reds? Wonderful, a bit hard to get but well worth the effort, the Nah valley is one of the best.

Maybe he was thinking about Olivia Newton John (I often do).

It is not as stupid as it sounds.

There are more Greeks in Australia, than there are in Athens.

That's coz she sang "You're the one that I want"
Sorry Zacs, it wasn't sung to you ;-(

So true Gromit
That's why we have lots of fish and chip shops and market gardeners.

Actually, its not true. It is an old factoid which I have just checked and found to be false.

However, Australia does have a lot of Greeks.

I guess it just feels like it then.
But we do have a very multicultural society that most of the time is enjoyable.

Mikey, have you considered Online shopping? I'd recommend it as the way to go for you.
