| | | Angus meat pies ad
AKA Scotsmen On The Worksite.
Those with access to Facebook should be able to enjoy this: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=23769433
Just click to see the ad. I saw this via another route because I don't have FB access myself, so I can only hope it works. If not, Google for the Austrailian ad as in the title of this thread.

Y'see, that's why I have trouble accepting that kilts were ever actually worn shorter than knee length.

Good ad. Clearly perpetuates the idea that we are regimental under our kilts. Keep the mystery alive!

I was in the supermarket the other day, where they were having an in store promotion of the pies and got a dozen of them free cause I was wearing a kilt.
I also got a lot of "there's the Angus pies man" from a lot of kids who were with their mothers shopping  |

I had a pie floater the other night for dinner... spicy sauce, mushy peas, pie, and a liter of bitters. Mmmmmmmmm. I love when the wife and sprog are away.
Even though I just ate, I could use a pie floater right now

Pie floater? I believe that is a delicacy in Adelaide.
A pint of bitter should go down well with it.
I liked the Angus ad!
Regards,
Mike

Pure genius! That’s why I don’t wear my tank to work! The guys in the office sure got a kick out of the video.
