Polly Waffle to be axed!

Aussies all over the world were devastated this week by the news that the good old Polly Waffle was to be axed by Nestlé due to declining sales.

There were some mixed feelings from Aussies, some frustrated at the decision because they feel Nestlé didn't market Polly Waffles well so they were hard to find, others said they hadn't even heard of Polly Waffles and would prefer a KitKat!.

Whatever your thoughts on the Polly Waffle most would agree that it's sad to see the end of an iconic uniquely Australian product after 62 great years. Farewell Polly Waffle we will miss you!

AFL Grand Final-Live in Antwerp this Saturday, October 3, 2009

Dear reader,

I just moved back to Belgium after a long stint in Australia. Whilst there I fell in love with the footy. With the Grand Final coming up I asked my local irish pub if they could show the match this saturday. Happily they agreed! All they would like now is abit more advertisment so it can be a fun time and loads of aussies in Belgium can watch the game.I hope you can do something for us.

It will be at Kelly's Irish Pub in de Keyserlei about 1min from Antwerp Central.

They will show it live so they open at 5.45 in the morning on the saturday.

Their website is www.kellys.be
