I'm sure they'd make meat pies overseas. They are after all a British Australian thing. Pies and Cornish pasties were designed so Hubby in the mines could eat the contents with a spoon and toss the bowl being the pastry, thus not touching his food and not getting sick.

I went into a milk bar in NSW (near Griffith I think) a few years ago and asked for a Big M and a Gillies pie. The girl gave me a stupid look and offered me a Farmers Union (S.A) and a Mrs Macs (W.A) You can get a Gillies anywhere in Victoria even though they are made in Bendigo and BIG M is a national icon.

Good to catch up with you Chris, but yep first whore pie has been given away :)

Milk bar is a term in some parts of Australia for suburban local shops or general stores. They are known as tuck shops, delicatessens or delis in South Australia and Western Australia, and as corner stores in Queensland and New South Wales. Milk bars are traditionally a place where people pick up milk and newspapers, and where school children purchase milkshakes or lollies.

My Mums side of the family are from England. A mix of Cornish Miners who moved to Bendigo to strike it rich in the mines and the other half are convicts, the brother was a Lawyer who lost his money on gambling and booze the sister killed off her husbands when they pissed her off.

And this is quite sadly the average Joe in my home town

There was another from Eaglehawk but it was even worse

What the hell is a milk bar!?

Maybe it's just Victorians that call them milk bars. As you obviously had to Google, they are corner stores, something that I don't see much of in Brisbane.

sick belly, need to be near amenities, lol.

nerdy stuff is an EtherTen board(arduino variant) setting it up and programming it to be a car counter for a driveway, but will ignore exiting cars, and ignore pedestians, while triggering a PTZ camera to pause its patrol, and swing around to capture the number plate of the entering car.
