The Equerry

Does anyone by chance remember Skin Deep clothing in Elizabeth Street Sydney? What became of it, who the founders were? Doing a little research for a side project.

But don’t worry folks he didn’t inhale. #nswpol #auspol #leavemyfamilyoutofthis #smileforthecamerasdarling

- Non confrontation policy of many retailers for legal and staff safety reasons. - Possibility some inspired by social media coverage of shoplifting sprees elsewhere in the world. - and then there’s the 2 speed economy, with some folk being hit hard. 2/2

Well let’s have a think about this… - 2020-2022 lockdowns meant a decline in shoplifting (hard when closed). - Many large retailers have actually cut security staff, moving from well staffed in-house teams to 1 or 2 uniformed powerless rent a cops. 1/2

I thought they were joking… our new ‘shrooms’ $2 coin. Tooth fairy… ok 👍🏻 f that’s who you can see over there in the corner. 🍄

Refreshing bit of honesty in the Australian retail dept store sector, from David Jones ‘…company said it was not comparable because of government-imposed lockdowns in 2021...’ No highly questionable claims about brilliance of board or management or a lousy ‘customer first plan’!

Imagine being home from a dance party in time to go out to breakfast or walk across a bridge… amateurs! 🧐

Walking thru Sydney CBD and it gives cause for reflection on the question… No matter how buff a person is, no matter how much time a person spends at the gym or glossed they are, does anyone EVER look good wearing mesh? There’s a lot about this afternoon.🧐

Usually triggered by council sale of land due to rates not paid, or journo meets someone who tells them a story, or media release from action group stirred up by a new member. Cheap, views, dreams, retirement, didn’t know (didn’t pay attention), Burley Griffin always the hooks.

It’s that time again a young journo with no knowledge of history of something runs another piece that’s exactly the same as every other story run every 5-10 yrs. It’s zoned non-urban, always has been. Ads have always had that line in them for over 50 years, even ads on 10 in 70s.

Some of them even have to take second jobs as the Chairperson of a department store… 🤔 #pleasegivegenerously #thoughtsandprayers

Apart from the waste of ratepayers money from these petty sign changing efforts @cityofsydney… when did Darlinghurst Road become a mere street?

I have been influenced and am now participating in Sneaky Pie Thursday #SneakyPieThursday

Ok. Question for Australians only… Did anyone (and no, not your cousins best friend’s brother’s mate or any other distant party) actually get paid HARD CASH for either an Argentine Ant Colony discovery OR a Black Prince Cicada? 🐜🪲
