Hi, those of us who are fortunate enough not to live in Lonnie don't really care. It's just a foggy, blokey sort of place with pockets of perfection around the circumference.
Cheers

As a former Tasmanian I am pleased to see that the north / south rivalry hasn't diminished.
When I was a young bloke the southerners used to say that the beer from the north - Boags - resembled the output of a feline pet. Funnily enough the northerners said the same about Cascade. Now the liquor outlets have a thousand varieties so I guess the parochial choices have all but disappeared.
It is definitely pronounced Lonseston or Lonnie but thinking phonetically where you wash your clothes is it the lawndry or the londry, do you lonch a rocket or lornch it ? Anyway austastar I think we are about to discover, following your post, just how many Launcestonians visit the forum.
Oh and by the way - the one beer that we mainlanders can't buy on the big island is Cascade Draught. Can you please tell the brewery that there is a ship now that connects the two islands so they can toss a few slabs our way?
Thanks
Rowlie
