All I can say is, if an Australian or Britisher asks for a lemonade, don't give them something cheap and nasty ;-) BTW you _can_ buy a flat, yellow lemon drink labelled 'traditional lemonade', but that's more of a marketting ploy than anything else. And I've only seen it in the last couple of years.
