You heard it here...

"We buy their 4l. package by the box of 4 every 10 days"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

when do you sleep???????

Brian, I was too trigger happy with my pecking finger.
I meant a box every 21 (21) days! Should have just sed evry 3 weeks!

I had an old Czech. goldmining mate who drank a litre per day, carked it at 94, almost with the banjo in his hand. So we (not saying who helps) live with that philosophy. Every 3 weeks we need a new "box" with just a wee bit in hand in case the creek is up.
Tough old life, eh? and we always have one for departed Hlebetz.

Pardon my ignorance kesh, but the banjo bit intrigues me......

and I think there's a lot to the old adage of a few reds a night!

Cheers!!!

Brian. Among some of the old alluvial miners the long handled round mouth shovel was referred to as a "banjo" (similarity of appearance)
However, a type of blank ended sluice box was also sometimes called a banjo. Needed quite a bit of skill to operate not to loose gold.
The easier type was a long sluice and a tailrace to discharge fines. We used a long sluice with a length of coir matting beyond the riffles. Each arvo the riffles were cleaned up then every 3-4 weeks the matting was rolled up, dried and burned on a sheet of iron. This would usually result in a bonus of 4-6 oz. of fine gold.
All this of course long before the intro. of "handbag" wine, our favorite drop being the Wynnevale red flagons.
As I remarked, its been a while since I saw any of Morris' produce, but geeez, why import and blend stock when there is a glut of grape juice on the local market?
