I remember working there with both my sisters, shelley, stef, Hazel, Wendy and today we were just talking about that, boy, we used to eat the left overs......we were soooo hungry.  If we got caught we would have been told to leg it.... I remember going for lunch with Pual, Warren and I think it was Joanne McKay, and Warren bit into a egg toastie and it went "crunch"......
