yelley:
did you just quote tunnel yourself?.... seriously?

I imagine he was attempting to edit his previous post and accidentally clicked the wrong button and ended up quoting himself. It's not hard to do, I've done it before myself.

I like a lot of the bigger cities of the Midwest (Chicago, Minneapolis/ St. Paul, Madison), although I'm sorta biased. The rural small-town areas just depress me, however. I drove through rural Iowa last week and wanted to shoot myself. Just a bunch of ignorant, poor, obese rednecks with no purpose in life. Probably why they drink so much. Aside from binge drinking, there's also really high rates of meth use in rural midwest areas due to the availability of many of the chemical ingredients from fertilizers used on farms.

(I hope I haven't offended any rural midwest folk with this)

Tom:
In reference to binge drinking in Australia, all the"cool" kids do it.

supersheep:
Is England really all that bad? I mean, Ireland has all the binge-drinking, gang crime, gossip-centric etcetera etcetera stuff, just we haven't had as much practice at them, and the same continual crying out about them in the papers. Thing is, I've lived in some of the (supposedly) worst areas of Dublin since I moved up there three years ago, and I've never really felt particularly unsafe, even wandering through Temple Bar at three in the morning on a weekend. So I'm wondering whether we're just lucky over here, or whether I'm just less concerned with personal safety or something.

Also, binge drinking means three pints in a day. How many people go out and have three pints on a night out?

Fecking crusties, coming over here and stealing our squats. Or something.  :-P

Not wanting to push a point too much, but as a matter of curiosity what proportion of your customers are British back-packers? I'd imagine there would be quite a number in a place like Brisbane.
