I mean the ones with a handle that you pull down and, bingo, you have a much smaller amount of aluminium to carry away for disposal. Where would you buy one? Anyone seen a crusher rece...

Interstate quarantine

I'm aware of the restrictions on fresh fruit, vegies and honey between WA and SA. Are there restrictions on dehydrated vegies (such as mushrooms, carrots etc)? I could cryovac them as well if that would help. Cheers, Tony

This One Takes The Cake.
(Preview)
I have been witness to a lot of drunken fools, and at times, been one myself, but this dropkick takes the cake.
