You were. Two bob! Cripes.
Here, Arnotts took over Menz Biscuits opposite the Fire Brigade HQ & when the factory had a fire they didn't have to come far.
William Menz - Wikipedia
I worked in my early days opposite the factory as a Trainee Sign writer & the 'bouquet' of the Yo-Yo Biscuit ovens were something to behold.
The sign writer's premises was a well known Adelaide landmark as out the font hanging off the parapet was a 'bloke' on a Painter's plank scaffold hanging on ropes. It was surprising how many people would stop & try to have a conversation with the 'bloke' it being a clothed Plaster dummy complete with white overalls, waistcoat, felt hat, shoes. My crowd used to buy a large tin of Yo-Yos for staff morning tea every couple of weeks when Menz had a small retail outlet attached to the factory.
No 58i, it wasn't modeled on me either before you say anything.
Ah happy days......
