I see what Tatey was onto - painting sealings. There is a guy that comes around after the tiler has been. This guys does the GAP sealing. he rides around on his motorbike with a couple of cartridges of sealer and a spray pistol in his backpack and finishes off the job. He could get a gong as the cook is always asking when I will re-seal the laundry-thanks Joan, I'll see if he has a voucher.

Christmas is no longer about draining Australian pockets so that
 China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about
 Australia, encouraging our small businesses to keep plugging away to follow
 their dreams.

Funny, I thought it was about some bloke's birthday. Can't think of his name right now... You know, that foreign chap who did those things...  ::)

Totally agree with the buying Australian sentiment. Not always easy, especially for those like me who leave gift buying until the night before!

that'll make it even easier-let's see Bundy Rum. Coopers Dark Ale. A lovely Barossa Red or 2 followed by a Stanthorpe Muscat-all Ozzy made.

Not the way i hear it.  This is a revolution of caring about each other & isn't that what Christmas is about ?

Aussie made? maybe. Aussie owned? Well as far as Aussie rum is concerned, Bundy is owned by the British company Diageo. Inner Circle is owned by Lion Nathan (NZ/Japan) and worst of all...is now made in Fiji. For many years Inner Circle stood above just about every rum in the world in the dry rum class but Lion Nathan bought the company from CSR, stripped and sold off the assets and used the name on an inferior (read:cheap) Fijian product. Thankfully Beenleigh and Frigate are both owned by VOK which is Aussie owned so if Aussie style dry rum is your thing....give Bundy the flick and buy Frigate or Beenleigh, trust me, you won't know the difference mixed with Coca-Cola (USA).
