old man emu Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Stop it now! The erosion of the Anglo-Australian Culture has gone too far! I went to two supermarkets this morning to buy some Worcestershire sauce. When I enquired at the first one (the one from the EU), I was told they they did not stock it. On further enquiry, I was told that they got it sometimes in cartons of mixed sauces for Asian style cooking. The I went to the other major Australian supermarket - the one started in Melbourne by three brothers who served King and Country in WWl. I searched among a wide variety of sauces, soy, oyster, fish, peri-peri, American BBQ etc and was finally able to find a bottle of good old Holbrook's cringing in a corner on the lowest shelf. It's a disgrace. Our distinctive Aussie culture - the one that hundreds of thousands have fought and died for, is being lost in a sea of weird liquid accompaniments. If this continues, we'll soon lose tomato sauce for our footy pies and be forced to globalised hand-helds like hot dogs with ketchup. OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lucky bar stand, when we were young ....... True, we used to wear a hole under the big toe pad and our socks got wet before we got new shoes. ... and we had to polish them every morning with Kiwi of course.

Phil Perry Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 In the same vein OME, . . . I often wonder, outside schools of all kinds at 'Going home time' . . . why there are dozens of large 4x4 chelsea tractors, driven by 'Mums' collecting kiddies, when there's nowhere for many miles around where anybody would conceivably need to take a car 'Off-road' . . . bit strange that. . .
