    you would expect it to be the same stuff inside, but theres a chance it might not, i watched a program on making lager and stuff over christmas and the wife on the screen said when they brew fosters in the uk its not the same as fosters in austrialia, they tweak it for the uk market

    aperntly our fosters export is more simmiler to there normal fosters:)

    Australian Fosters is much different. It's aroma is less hoppy, it's much sweeter and has massive hints of caramel. Oh my God, I'm turning into a Real Ale Twat. :oops:

    something to do with taxes on goods? cheaper to buy a shitload of coke / 7up from somewhere like hungary than it is to buy it here?

    only ever see it in dodgy shops and takeaways so u can bet whatever the reason is... it aint cos of the taste ;)

    I dont mind them doing this but the g*ts pass zero saving onto us the customer.

    At least when the supermarkets do this scam they pass the saving on

    We should copy the Germans put a limit on the number of Coke cans imported to our country. We could go one stage further and copy the sexy Dutch and send all the Iranian cans back :lol:

    Shush! We don't sell foreign products! :p ....apart from the French Domestos we get in sometimes and the other day we got Dutch Whiskas Pouches in. As long as the barcode scans we don't care :rolleyes:

    Some old bint complained that the instructions on the back of the Mr Muscle Plughole cleaner was all foreign. Infact they were all in English and she just couldn't read it. Useless.

    Its not the same stuff. They actually own the name 'Budweiser' and are are slowly winning the legal battle to stop the US budweiser company from selling under that name.

    Soon Budweiser as we know it will be called 'bud' and Budweiser will be the czech stuff as it always should of been.
