I'm from Queensland and....

I was at the markets this morning. I passed a stand that had "Queensland pumpkins". I couldn't work out why it was so important to identify them as being from Qld, unless they were a special Joh variety.

What a great slogan; "I'm from Queensland, and I'm a pumpkin".

As I was walking around, I saw (and heard) a stallholder shouting at a Chinese bloke. He was pointing at a box of apples and she was yelling at him, "This is a market mate, not bloody David Jones. That's not how it works here".

He was obviously wanting to go through all the boxes and sort the apples and put together a special box of only apples that he wanted. She gave him a good bollocking. It was a pleasure to watch. "It's not David Jones". I like it.
