Shoe Polish

Recommended Posts

Mike Mellor in New Zealand made an intriguing discovery: "On a

container of Waproo shoe polish ('All Australian Owned', but made

in Spain): appears 'international misuse may cause injury'." To do

some real good, it should be stamped on munitions. (from world wide words)

My brother (who lived near but not in Nhill at the time) sent us a tablecloth with a map of Oz on it. It was made in Ireland, which we found funny then, back in 1960 or so. Now we are all used to stuff being mostly made somewhere in the far east.

His address was ... Via Nhill ... For years I thought that was the name of the place. It was only when a film came out about the place a couple of years ago that the penny dropped.
