@rail_tunnel @willfowles @GeeForce77 @jimmyraynes @DanielAndrewsMP Alternatively the liquor barons could pay for the cost of a local vote should they wish to find out if people want one of their beer barns in a residential area.

@TheTweedPig @BRoetzel Herr Roetzel's book is possibly one of the most well-thumbed books on my bookshelves but Eye never knew exactly who this fellow was. It's nice to see some pics of the author, putting a face (& a well-hatted head) to the name.

@GreenJ Saint George, the patron of our Isle,
A soldier and a saint,
On this auspicious order smile,
Which love and arms will plant.

@s_powell @BreakfastNews She also mentioned Glenferrie Road as outer Melbourne - rather than it being the centre of middle-class journeyings https://t.co/DhSmeWSYEu
