    Thanks ! I drive past it a lot and you reminded me to grab a few shots of it !
    At 72 cents per litre, I’ll have to find out when they are coming back to work from their Holiday break ! :)
    Thanks for the Fav too !

    Thanks Lori, you probably remember when the guy used to be paid to put the petrol in your car and check your oil every time ! Thanks for the Fav !

    Thanks very much Roy ! That sounds like a real pain in the wallet. You think it would be cheaper in Europe, being closer to the Middle East than us Aussie’s !

    Thanks for the Fav ! I’ve heard of GLA and IPA, but what’s KMA ?

    Roy barry, 4 months ago

    Its a direct response to all the eliteist, Invite only supergroups, packed full with the very cream of the Artists that seem to be springing up all over the ‘bubble.

    Quite simply, KMA stands for Kiss My Arse…..............

    Great capture of a time passed when petrol was a reasonable price!!
    Good one!!

    Too funny ! I’ve noticed some of those groups and pondered what level your work has to reach to be invited to join. KMA sounds like a clever construct, with an ” In Your Face ” attitude ! Do you know that your Avatar at that size looks like you have two Six Shooters and your hands on your guns ?

    Thanks Blossom ! It was much cheaper then but we still thought it was getting expensive. Inflation never ceases !
