Great opportunity for the local eBay members to have a get-together like we Victorians have, and at the same time showing their support to an emigrant from another country with different customs.

Mostly unemployed hoons and ignorant imbeciles will be the posters of hate-mail. Best to ignore them and not give fuel to the fire by answering or trying to explain.

Have a great time meeting for coffee.

Great thought, Erica. As far as I know Paints, Mr Grizz and I are the only posters in or around Bunbury and we are 200 k from Perth. still, I'd be really happy to give it a go. How about it, guys?

[fourandsixpants]

Count me in she el.....but only if Mr Grizz comes too!

[the_great_she_elephant]

How about it, Mr Grizz? I'll get Mr Elephant to come too so you won't feel outmumbered.

[fourandsixpants]

....and anyone else nearby or faraway that want to come too would be more than welcome-if not in person, in the Spirit of C&S.

I hope you do it!

I find it amazing these days how social media just rules the waves.  I'm sure so many of those people that post hate on facebook pages, twitter ect would very rarely if ever confront anyone face to face...

I think it was the ABC that ran a story on this social media bullying after the Fleurieu milk episode.

the showed a middle aged woman, whose sole purpose in life, was to sit at her computer all day and *investigate* what companies/business were using halal labels etc.

I suppose she then posts them on FB and off they go
