More than one sausage sizzle might be underway at readers’ local Bunnings this weekend, according to a private investigations company.
The hardware chains’ car parks were hot spots for love rats to conduct affairs, Heartbreakers research revealed.
“In one particular case we caught the culprit in the act during the day in 30C heat,” the company said.
No word on whether the incident included sauce and onion, though.
The company also identified bushland, public toilets and roadsides as popular cheating sites. Classy!
And watch out reaching for popcorn at the movies – cinemas were also on the list.
The results reflected a “massive trend increase toward infidelity in weird and public places”, said investigator Luke Athens.
And bad tidings indeed for the cheap motel sector.
Surf Coast residents might have to reverse a common practice in northern Australia and learn Aboriginal as a second language given their shire’s rollout of indigenous facility names.
The shire this week unveiled Kurrambee Myaring Community Centre as the latest addition, explaining that the first two words meant ‘merry laugh, here is the place’.
Other indigenously-named new facilities include Banyul Warri (‘hills’ and ‘sea’) Fields, Parwan (‘magpie’) Soccer Pitch, and Narrodya (‘female meeting ground’) Netball Courts.
And then there’s Djilla Tjarri Park, which has nifty playground and skating spaces.
The name sure must challenge little tackers: “Mum, please take me to diller tally…err…didja tiejar…ahh…jickily jarrickers…umm…the bloody skate park!”
And pity the poor traders down the Great Ocean Road who can’t take a trick with road closures.
After months of lost business following landslides and flooding damage in September, the road will now partially close again this weekend and next for bike rides.
“This on its own may not sound catastrophic,” local MP Richard Riordan said on Thursday.
However, it comes on top of a summer ruined by fires, school holidays ruined by floods and landslides and another two days closed for public events.”
And right at the start of summer, too.
Support local business – plan a daytrip down the coast for lunch and a little shopping sometime soon.
