We do have fermented apple cider here; it's just that we have a specific term for it ("hard cider"), to differentiate it from the kind that's just chunky apple juice. If anybody's mislabeled the product here, I'd have to say it's you folks, for not bothering to indicate an important thing like the alcohol content anywhere in the name. :)

There aren't a lot of roads in the South Pole, but the rest of the scenario is entirely conceivable. :)

>the Southern Water Tribe's equivalent of the West Country

I'm just going to pause for a moment and consider how much better TLOK Book 2 would have been if Unalaq had been voiced by the guy who did Wheatley in Portal 2. That would have been epic. (It also might have been less painfully obvious from Second One that he was the villain of the piece. It's hard to find someone with that accent threatening. That's why they didn't let Dave Prowse voice Darth Vader. Bill Bailey used to do a great little routine about what that would have sounded like. :)

Hah!

Conversely, I once saw an English gent utterly flummox first the cashier, then himself, at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in greater Boston by ordering a half-dozen biscuits and specifying that they were for dessert.
