Wow, that's special! Very innovative down McLaren Vale way, aren't they?
I'll have to stock up while I'm in SA.
What's the price and quality like? Cheap and rough, or mid-priced and sophisticated, or a mixture of all?

Nothing wrong with cleanskins, tried some $2 buck chuck from Dan Murphy's recently and was mightily impressed, as was the treasurer. I'll keep an eye out for the Grey Nomad vintage '09

Then if you want a darker shade of vintage, don't forget the black or brown nugget.
Now you are going to ask me what nugget is aren't you.. some of you know it as Kiwi......still guessing..............

Spot on Rosie,
My dad was a policeman on the beat in Glebe Point Road in Sydney many years ago which encompassed Belmore Park near Central Station and I remember him saying that the "winos" used to mix boot polish with their metho to give it a bigger kick.

Thats ok if you like a 'Red' we didn't in those days so used 'Old Spice After Shave' for a "White"

Yes Granny........but it is so difficult nowadays to buy a cold bottle of metho.....
Nobody keeps it in the fridge anymore.
Cruising Granny said

Yes, all that stuff gets locked away so people can't buy it to sniff it or start fires with it.
When did the world change so much?
