in NZ, by 1988 it seems the early finish at work on Fridays was the time to open the 'fridge. Being a cider drinker I never seemed to join in on these.
And in about 1987 I was stopped by a Traffic Officer (remember them?) who asked if I had drunk anything. He was not amused when I said "yes" (pause) "coffee".

Kiwi humour is (was) different and involved Pomes - when Coconuts (Fiji, Somoa, PNJ etc) would not fit. Unless it was a "Ozzie" joke (aka Irish, Belgie, Polac etc).
