doing my time with hamersley
looking back now it is funny my first appy master was a bloke by the name of Phil Crozier , he was a great bloke and he did a better job at teaching all us blokes about logarithm's and how to use a slide ruler than our high school math's teacher did ( and 90% of us had been at school together )very forgotten skill how to read a slide ruler, every so often he would go to the pub with us appys and get write him self of and we would drop him at home , mrs crozier was scary , she would shout "if that's you phil and those bloody apprentices you best sleep on the back padio " .We would help Phil to the front door and then bolt we were that scared of her

Always wondered
Hampers have been great,kids always raided them at the front door,boxes were smaller this year which upset some not for contents but the box was such a handy storage size
some of the pickles have such a following people chasing them on the net once they run out.Tell them to keep up the good work
