Typical Anzac Day outfit

So you’re in a crowded, rowdy bar and the drinks are flowing. You notice everyone gravitating towards a rabble of cheers and two copper coins spinning above the sea of heads. “Come in Spinner,” is heartily shouted just before the coins appear. Confused?

Ever wondered how hygienic your local restaurants are? Diners in New South Wales will soon find out with the State Government introducing a score on the door hygiene rating for food businesses.

Restaurants taking part in the voluntary program will recieve a score of A, B or C - with A being the highest level of food hygiene and safety - that they must display on their shopfront.

  • Three cheers for the programme, Just for starters ...I’m sick of sharing my food with badly cleaned crockery, cutlery & glasware… I could go on and on.

    I can see a lot of positives, but on the negative side, what happens when you are in a block of shops and the culprit of the pest/vermin infestation is the untidy shop next door?, Does the food venue get a bad score even though they are doing their darndest to keep the pests/vermin out....

    How often to the scores get updated reviewed, ie when a shop sells or staff change?

  • This is great! I have seen this implemented in The U.S. for some time and it works well, if updated regularly.

Spinning out at the Easter Show

There’s definitely more to the Easter holidays than stuffing yourself with chocolate eggs and hot cross buns. While doing nothing but eating for 4 days straight is an admirable pursuit you might want to actually get out from under the mountain of chocolate and venture outside.
