Indeed, eggs are not refrigerated in stores here (NSW, Australia). They are
simply kept on a shelf. I do refrigerate them when I get them home, as a
matter of course. I suppose I don't really need to in winter, but I just
keep doing it as a habit. In summer it's a good idea as our kitchen can get
pretty warm if the airconditioning isn't on - e.g. when nobody's home
during the day. Actually, even when Rob's home he tends not to put the
airconditioning on till he gets to the point where he's complaining about
how stinking hot it is.
