You know what the Brewery Lights are and every xmas if
you don't actually stop and walk past them, you at
least drive past because xmas isn't really xmas until
you see the Brewery Lights.

You have been to the east end exchange at least once
and you were under 18.

You have been to glenelg and got extremely sunburnt

Gone to the Grand sunburnt!

You have walked around Victor Harbour drunk

You have walked down Rundle Mall ... Drunk!

You know what fritz is

You call people Minda's

You say Plaaaant not pleeeent

You have been to a movie marathon at Marion megaplex

You go out to the same place EVERY saturday night

You have the same friends from high school

You cant go out without seeing someone you know...
even if you have never been to that particular place
before (even though you rarely venture from your old
favourite)

You really miss the old sizzler cheese bread

You like ugg boots not moccies

You have a very strong opinion on Lleyton Hewitt

You have been to one of the following lookouts
(stirling, mt lofty, penfolds rd, sunnyside rd, eagle
on the hill)

You know who stormy summers is

You love cold rock ice cream and if you dont you love
cibos instead

You know what fruchocs are!

- You pour Farmer's Union Iced Coffee on your
breakfast cereal.

- You proudly admit your love of the Fritz Sandwich.

- You're so caring and sharing that you have the urge
to adopt other state's cities as you own. (Come 'ere
Broken Hill, let's hug.)

- You will never forgive Melbourne for stealing our
Grand Prix. Never.

- You know how 'dance', 'pool', 'castle' and 'graph'
are SUPPOSED to be pronounced.

- You get offended when people from Western Australia
call SA part of the "East Coast".

- You insist on calling AAMI Stadium, "Footy Park".

- You say a Pie Floater tastes great just to maintain
your street cred.

- You consider Coopers to be a food group.

- Your timezone isn't good enough for us.

- While half of our state is uninhabitable, you know
that it's still the greatest.

- You think the 'Tiser has no journalistic integrity
whatsoever.... and yet you still read it every day.

-Don't believe the rumours. I live in South Australia
and have never been murdered once.

- You vote for Mike Rann in every state election,
mainly because you can't remember the other guy's
name.

- You know there's more than one way to have a good
time in Hindley Street.

- The Superjesus is your favourite band.

- One word: Haighs

- No thanks, I shop at Big Star.

- The Barossa is for Lovers.

- You know that Victor Harbor is the only place to be
for Schoolies.

- France imports our wine. How 'bout them apples?

- You forgave the Chappells for the 1981 Underarm
Incident purely out of South Australian patriotism.

- Where else would you find places with names like
'Bruce', "Gluepot' and 'Iron Knob'?

- So which is it? Crows or Port?

- How many of the other states have a peninsula shaped
like a leg?

- You know the people out on the Torrens are either
tourists or rowers. No one else would go near that
water.

- You think the Festival Centre is a wonder of modern
architecture. bahaha.

- Despite all our faults, at least South Australia
wasn't built by convicts.

- When you leave work at 5:15 and miss "peak hour
traffic"

- you can have a good old laugh at the fact that
adelaides second name is "city of churches"

- your not scared by aboriginals walking around in
speedos and gumboots haha! i love him.

* You like fritz n sauce sandwitches!!

* You take 20 mins to get anywhere!!

Your 'sports gurus' are KG and Cornesy

you know what a 'stobie pole' is!

You know youre from Adelaide if you dont drink West
End

you shop at woolworths not safe way

you recon victorians can't drive a finger up their ass
even though you yourself drive like a maniac

whatever they call it in those other states

you have had a balfours frog cake!!! how effing

when you meet friends in rundle mall you tell them
'ill meet you at the balls' or 'ill meet you at the

You agree that the Clipsal is way better than the
Grand Prix ever was!

NYBG and Shennanigans were your second home when you were
18/19 (as much as you dont want to admit it)!

For all the northerners the village (rape & pillage)
has to come into play somewere go the VIL (I know your
out there!!) hey & dont forget about the Planet!! Bec

I think it's strange how people from different parts of Australia actually have different accents. Just proves how large of a country we are living.

Not from Adelaide but that was trip down memory Lane, grew up 33 miles from Iron Knob there is also a set of ruins in the middle of the Eyre Peninsula called no where else. I always considered the SA Vic border to be the edge of a precipice and it was down hill all the way to Melbourne, which resides squarely in the bottom of the Pit.
Fritz n sauce yep Fried/bbq fritz even better, Polony just don't make the grade. Stobie pole, haven't heard that in 30 yrs, but there was one right outside my house back then.
Fruchoc's, they still available?
