How can clothes have a hidden meaning.........I prepare mine, wash them, they hang on a rack to dry, shake em and wear them!
There is a thing packed in a box here that is allegfedly called an iron, and I have a thing labelled "ironing board" which I use as a hatstand!

Newcastle Brown Ale is available in most good bottle shops such as Dan Murphy's, however as a Geordie I can assure you it's a shadow of its former self, especially now that it's made in Tadcaster.
However I agree about the black pudding, would kill for a few slices most morning, can taste it right now.
Cheshire, Wenslydale etc was imported here as well until Mad Cow.
I wondered about this as OXO cubes still available and on checking they contain no beef.

Home made sage and onion stuffing is just to delicious. The urge to put melted butter on it and guzzle the lot would be to hard to resist.

It's just easier to make up some Paxo. Nice enough for me and does the job i.e. served with roast chicken or spread over chicken pieces and baked until cooked or added into minced pork as a meat loaf ingredient.

Black pudding & white for the Scots is readily available in Brisbane. I often have a slice of fried black pudding on top of some beans on toast for a pre fishing breakfast. Especially if I'm going to be paddling 10-15 k that day.

Restricted to Coles, Woolies, IGA and Aldi here but no black pudding

I'll stock up on a couple of kilos next time I'm in Newcastle and freeze portions.

In The Partridge Family, David Cassidy used to iron Susan Dey's hair. Where the hell did that memory come from?
