Well, apparently we may.
Long-suffering readers may remember this post, where I commented on the fact that men don't appear to get straws with their soft drinks in Australia -- and told the story of having a straw taken out of my glass when the waitress realised it was for me! Nefertiki suggested I ask for a straw next time I get a drink sans straw and report back on the results.
Unfortunately, every restaurant or café I have visited since has given me a straw -- even those places where I did not get a straw on previous visits! Yet I am loathe to give up on this experiment so quickly: I shall continue investigations.
