Welcome from Georgia, USA!
I, sorry, we, have been to Georgia many times CinnamonSugar, not the entire State obviously. My school friend Monica who worked in hospital management, met and married a surgeon whilst working on secondment at a hospital in the US, I never did find out where. In Georgia, or to be more precise, Savannah, we dined out with my school friend and her husband. At the restaurant I made a typically British faux pas. American taste in beer is to serve it so chilled the glass can stick to your lips. I prefer my beer cold, but not chilled.
The waitress brought me my beer glass filled with ice, this is to cool the glass, she then tipped the ice away and poured the chilled beer into the glass. I should have said nothing, just smile and say thank you. It was a warm evening, the company was convivial and my wife and I were enjoying ourselves. But that stupid tongue of mine just couldn't behave itself. "Have you got a beer that isn't all but frozen?" I enquired. The waitress, taken aback, she replied: "You like warm beer?" "No I don't like warm beer," I thought, but didn't say. In fact I didn't even respond. A severe kick in my shin, from my wife, along with her addressing the waitress, saying, "His beer is lovely, thank you so much," I knew, and so did my tongue, this meant, shut up and put up. We love Savannah, but sadly my school friend passed away a couple of years ago, just a few months after her husband. We like to think that they are together again.
