Down here there is one thing worse than being in dairy and that is cropping.
And people tell us, its a lifestyle, not a job. Those forkers can go and sit on my pitch fork and swivel.

What have I started here!!!

Sup all. I have a job interview this arvo. It's for an IT technician traineeship. The money sucks but the hours are good.
 

Feeling pretty confidant about this one.

 

 

 

This machine is in the branch. Old mate came in through the roof, demolished a packet of strawberry lollies I had on my desk, took a dump, took 10 more dumps on various safes throughout the branch, and then just sat where is above until we removed him and put him outside this morning.

 

hahahahaha What a little bugger.

I don't think Jamie plays much of a part in that decision

 

I am blaming him for his stance, not saying he made the decision. We already know how I feel about WW/Coles as a whole - for him to support the fee being placed on farmers is my main gripe with him. The fee itself, squarely Woolies.

 

Jamie's opinion is that the farmers union or whatever it is, should embrace the charge to help Aussies eat better fresh foods, Josh.

 

 

I'm sayin'.

 

 

The food also seems to last longer, and apparently it tastes better.

 

Most of this to be 100% honest is placebo. As you'll find it all comes from the same market pool, some items will be more hand to hand I guess.

Ooops lol

 

The current manager there is a old work mate so that should help.

I agree that it's Jamie's stance 100%

The people/farmers I am buying from are selling off the backs of their utes.
The fruit n veg shop, obviously depending on how big it is you could be right, especially in the cities maybe?

My local fruit n veg is all local homegrown stuff, how common these places are though.. Probably not at all.

..and good luck HaZ!

What a load of shit

Fair enough, I don't care enough about Jamie to care what his opinion is on the matter - though that is a cubt of a move. Anger stands with Woolworths.

That is something else I loved about back up home, take a 10 minute drive out of town and you can buy locally grown fruit and veg directly from the grower - not talking large scale crops or anything, they just have like little roadside shed/hut things with whatever fruit and veg they have ready.
There are a couple of old ladies who set up a trestle table at one of the servos and sell locally grown macadamias and avacados, always nice and tasty stuff.

This may very well be the case, but what we've noticed is that the "fresh" salads and stuff from coles aren't really fresh and only last about 1 day in the fridge, 2 at the most. When we order online, they deliver bags of salad that expire the next day.

[skillionaire]

Yep, bagged loose leaf etc. ALWAYS stay away.

 

I would wager that access to farm gate produce is a lot better in somewhere like Tasmania, or out here where I live, or anywhere that's rural with horticulture really.

 

When I go to the city I see how spoiled people are for 'easy' food - things that are what I think of as secondary rather than primary produce; primary is basically all you get from a hand to hand down here (butcher/vego).

 

A lot of the stuff that perishes super quickly once you've bought it is because people demand to eat the same food all year round, instead of eating what is in season. This is where a fruit and veg shop will win out over a big boy, because they do not have the facility to cold store hundreds of tonnes of something until it's at it's polar opposite of seasonality. Hence, the things you buy are meant to be eaten around that time of the year.

 

 

Good on you blokes for using local fruit n veg places. That's what's up.

Sup cubts?

IT'S SIMONE!

Very poor point form on all those pointers.......

 

Sup niko. A lot of words in the gt dismorning.

[Adam]

Heaps of those places in bringelly and leppington, Josh. There's a few around here too. Mostly fruit though.

[B4TT]

Yeah it is hard in the city Nik, for the most part you can tell what country the produce was grown in (they label it at IGA) They seem to use a lot of Aussie stuff, the fruit and veg shop/deli next door was purchased by IGA and is now their 'gourmet' fruit and veg section, they literally knocked the wall down between the two and added a ramp to get up to it.
I think there is a fair bit of stuff grown along the Hawkesbury river near windsor, would hope a fair bit of it comes from there.

It's not his opinion, its his influence I hate, I don't like or dislike him as a person.

He saids this is not right, people will listen.
He saids this is right, people will listen - unfortunately this is the way he has gone.

[B4TT]

Hmm yeah true Bumpty! Shit situation for sure.
