THE PEOPLE'S CHIP!!!! Hamish and Andy FOX FM



Here's Bronte with Hamish and Andy from FOX FM. It was Samuel's idea to line up this morning for our part in history - the getting of what is termed the 'People's Chip'. Hamish and Andy - the two guys you see here, have a fab radio show and they called for Smith's Chips to make a new flavour of crisp chip. The people voted for a Gravy flavoured chip and Smith's came up with the goods. It was a small run, only 99 bags of chips per capital city in Australia (poor old Tassie, NT and ACT missed out completely!!) and they decided to distribute Melbourne's 99 at a shop in near our home!

So, off the boys went before school, to line up - here's a photo of
Zachary in the line up that is on the FOX FM website...(right click to open in a new window!)



Zachary is the boy in the green and purple school uniform and with the big grey backpack!

Some people slept overnight to get a packet of these elusive chips. Needless to say, my guys weren't successful in getting a packet but they still had fun.

Thanks to Hamish and Andy for being so nice to everyone - it was a blast! Following are more photos from the morning...













Last Saturday, I took Samuel and Bronte to the Melbourne Museum. Zachary and Stan were away for the weekend on a Trial. Zachary came 2nd in C Grade and Stan came 3rd in Classic. Anyway, here are a couple of noice photos of The Bront and Samuel that I couldn't resist showing....





And finally, two photos of Bronte and Jasper the cat, sound asleep!!! Awwwww - how cute!
