"DAD". "Right you little bastard get in here, I'll teach you to pinch other people's property, in fact as a major punishment I'm sending you to Trade School to be made one of those Fridgie Blokes I read about. That will teach you a lesson."

Firm, but fair discipline,nothing wrong with that.

IMHO,that is what is missing these days,but that is a topic for somewhere else.

Trade school,i started working on school holidays and weekends for the guy next door,one of the Ellaby clan,they had been fridgies for generations.
They were one of the first Kelvinator Commercial refrigeration agents.

More fun and interesting than packing groceries at the local Cut Price Store.[thumbsupbig]

Price for beef has crashed months ago! Prices at supermarkets has stayed the same highs!!

"########## says it is a pre-Christmas gift for struggling families, the meat industry says it is the market adjusting to oversupply, and farmers battling record-low sheep prices say it is an admission consumers are being ripped off. The supermarket giant has confirmed the price of 26 Australian lamb products will be reduced by 20 per cent as of Wednesday."

Price of lambs " low prices farmers have been receiving for their live weight animals, with reports of lamb selling for less that $1 per kilogram at the saleyards."

Happily, my local butcher is not ripping me off![thumbsupbig] Why buy at super rip off places[bigwhistle]
"a pre-Christmas gift" charging well over the cost!!! Rude plus!:bat: link

The qualifications have been relaxed in recent times. Well, the academic ones at least.

Upsetting me lately is clowns who buy a canopy for their vehicle that is so big they need towing mirrors to see behind them, but they are too cheap to buy the mirrors or camera, then they blithely hold up the traffic thinking nothing is behind them!
