Since when is pumpkin soup on the go, more than twice as expensive as two pints in happy hour at my local? This is outrageous.
The only thing more gobsmacking is that there are obviously people out there that walk among us, who are actually prepared to fork out their hard earned for this exorbitant price.
Staggering.


I've recently moved in my job from Mt Barker to the Southern Suburbs, which has been an eye opener to say the least, but one thing I have noticed is the difference in prices of the same goods, e.g. -

Bacon and Egg Sandwich - Mt Barker $10 minimum, Morphett Vale $5.80 - no difference in quality

Chicken Roll made to order - Mt Barker $11, Morphett Vale $7 - the cheaper one is actually nicer

Its like going back to the 90's down there! and yes some people are still living like that!

I did some courier work some time ago and whenever I'd end up down south I always stopped at this yiros place and they were well priced and pretty well packed, I'm pretty sure it was just off Main South Road, possibly near the corner of Pimpala I reckon, it was about 13 years ago and God knows how many brain cells have been killed in the mean time, but is the place still there and is it still of a high standard?

MW too, may have been others, was discussed in another thread.
It looks like it was just people that posted within a 10 min period somehow got thrust into the future and the software behind the website doesn't allow people to post at the same time or before other posts they've made.
Diss looked into it but couldn't work out what happened and it corrected itself when we caught up to the future posts time.
I tried deleting the future posts earlier to fix the problem but it did nothing.

Hopefuly not a common occurance but at least Diss is aware of it now.

As an avid pie lover I've never taken to the Mrs Mac pies, pastry too thick or something, it's been that long I can't think of what it was.
