i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

@Kurra, that's so nice. 🙂 Did you move to Australia at a later time?
@Faith-and-Hope, yeah... Where I am in Canada is called the California of Canada. 😛
You should totally come, at least the west side because it's a lot prettier there. Exploring the forests.. 🙂

There was a change-over of several standards in Australia when I was growing up. It might have been to do with independence from Britain, I don't know, but we changed currency from pounds, shillings and pence to Australian dollars and cents.
We also changed from imperial measurement (yards, feet, inches) to metric (km, metres, cm).
And I have a vague memory that we changed from Farenheit to Celsius around that time somewhere too. I remember Farenheit ovens when I was a child, and progressively you didn't have to try to convert recipes from kg to pounds or cup measurements, and oven temperatures ......

@Faith-and-Hope, wow, that's really interesting. You learn something new everyday!!
In Canada, we have almost the same, except with Canadian money. I think, anyway. I suck at math stuff.

Thanks for that @Kurra. It has given me a Goidnight perspective on it. It makes better sense in terms of my childhood memories.

@Kurra, sorry for assuming you moved, that's awesome. I'm glad Australia has a beautiful history.

Hey, @Faith-and-Hope, can I offer you a beverage - this is the beer garden, after all. 🙂
I'm glad you're enjoying the nature!
