... another exciting day with my personal MV-tourguide Bob

Went to Colin and had a good look at his 19 (!) Carriers. Unbelievable to see a Prototype Carrier, a Mortar Carrier and two 2-pounder projects.

Big thanks goes to Bob, Allan, Don & Colin who made another trip to Aussie unforgettable.

Default Oz MLUers Hide your heads In Shame

Hi all – I have just finished showing Chris virtually the two largest Military vehicle collections here in South Oz. Today we visited Colin Jones. Now here comes the rub. We stopped for some refreshments and for the first time in his life, Chris tasted Sarsaparilla. “Tastes like cough medicine” he said. But then to our shock, horror and utter amazement we discovered that, after five trips to Oz, he had never tasted VEGEMITE. Well once we finished talking about Max, Keefy and the rest of the Oz MLUers who have had contact with Chris but had never educated him to Vegemite, we thought this was a sad reflection of our MLUers. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

Anyway, quick as a flash Masterchef Colin toasted, buttered and Vegemited three pieces of bread, with the virgin Chris receiving one. Very dubiously he tried a bit, then a bit more and eventually ate the lot. We were not really sure what he thought of it, but he will probably comment on this thread.

So now I feel Chris’s Oz education is more complete apart from the fact he has never eaten a crumpet. But that will be another story.

Bob

You have to try eating crumpet/s (he might only want one) with N.Z clover honey (on it)

True Australian girls AND boys love their Vegemite. Marmite is good too of course but Promite is far too sweet.

Don't worry, Chris' culinary indoctrination shall continue over the coming weekend. I think we might even eat part of our coat of arms. Our cats do and swear by it.
