Sad day for the Australian car industry with Toyota confirming production to end in three years.

Very sad day. Pundits are now predicting a recession in SA and Victoria...

 

[Pushka]

SA is already in a recession. And that was before GMH closed.

That's terrible news. Ankles are a real bugger......speaking from experience.

Hope it's not a bad one.

Should we start a dinner drive to supply you with a couple of weeks worth of dinner - or are the local restaurants going to get a work out ?

Ouch. Poor Mrs Dr Ron. I guess they might check for osteoporosis? Hope all goes well for both of you.

 

[Major]

I hope Mrsdrron isn't too bad and makes a speedy recovery

I've currently got 31 meals in my freezer for the 2 guys in the house for when I'm away for a month. That way I won't feel quite so guilty about abandoning them on the cruise. Almost came unstuck last week when we had a blackout for 30 hours but only three had softened so we had these for dinner that night. Nine more to go.

So they can't take care of themselves?

Amazing they have lasted this long.

I'm willing to bet that when you return there will be at least 30 meals still in the freezer

Hoping for all the best to mrs.dr.ron :!:

They can. My son is good in the kitchen. Cooks Asian influence better than me. But he works in a manual job from 8.30 until 5.30 and husband works way more than 40 hours a week as he's self employed. Just helps me to know they won't be too stuffed at the end of the day to go shopping and then cook. I can then relax and not feel guilty. They are on the own for the weekends.

And I'm willing to bet they won't be. I've done it before. They'll be eaten.
