According to the award:

'eminent service to the people and Parliament of Victoria, to public health, to policy and regulatory reform, and to infrastructure development'

But, given that's available in most of the news reports on the subject, I suspect you disagree with that.

And that's ok. You're entitled to your opinion. I just wanted to air mine, too, as it differs (i suspect) to the majority on here. But like most of these subjects, I doubt it's all black or white (or one-sided, if you prefer).

Yesterday actually, what I call Freaky Friday owing to the stream of nutjobs that surface and come through the doors.

Of particular note, taking a customer's purchase to her car and then being bailed up in the carpark, where I was shown the house she was going to buy, the three jackets she bought in Germany at Christmas, and that she gets quite sweaty in winter, which then prompted her to tell me the best deodorant to use. TOO MUCH INFORMATION lady!

I did manage to offload two hideous candle holders that we were sent in error and had discounted to get rid of, apparently, they we "so beautiful"..................sure, whatever you say.

Well done on moving the candlesticks. Reminds of being dragged into shops such as Lush and Dusk - only go in there to buy a specifically nominated present as/when required, never to browse.

I've had my fair share of that over the years, from both sexes.
