Guest,Jack the Sailor, it may help you to know that a "mug" is an Oz word for someone who is a fool, or easily duped. So Foolestroupe was probably making a sly dig at Americans when he replied to your comment:

"There are huge mugs nearly everywhere in The US"

Yes, most Aussies will accept that baLD statement :-) , but the drinking vessels of that capacity are rarely available in Australia. :-)


Sorry to spoil your fun, Robin.


I have had a couple of coffees from Gloria Jean's but only because my previous co-workers went there because it was just across the road from work. BTW, the first coffee I had there was free, so I didn't complain about that. I don't frequent that franchise either, because there are so many good cafés everywhere.
