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 :)

(Albeit a crappy plain pie could of got mushroom or curry or pepper or kidney or onion etc not even any potatoe or anything lol)

mmmm, pepper and chunky steak...

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.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
