I've spent several years trying different sausages in Australia, I now don't bother. I avoid sausages over there and only eat them when I'm back here at home where I can find good ones at a reasonable price, in every supermarket. Most supermarkets stock speciality sausages that taste ok. Can't compare with English ones - I don't remember what they taste like - but I do remember being served ones which my old dear said were full of stuffing.... |

I only buy pork sausages. Never beef - this steers me in the right direction.

Re: The things Australia does best
My experience of red tape here, in general, has been better than the UK. Just received my police check. Only did it Tuesday:thumbsup: CRB in the UK took approx 3 weeks iirc
Driving licence etc on the spot, no problems with Medicare, a couple of claims were processed automatically. Centrelink:unsure: think the wording they use could be better. But once explained it seems ok |

Re: The things Australia does best
Sickies here are easier than anywhere I've ever worked before. Even when the boss knows someone is faking (not me I should add, I've actually been sick!) everyone acts all concerned and like we really believe the person was ill. It's almost funny until of course one spanner takes the piss and ruins it for everyone. At my brothers work, people announce in advance when they're going to be off sick...and it's fine apparently!
