Speaker 3 (00:29):
We went over to your neck of the woods on Saturday.
Actually all he's doing this acting sort of workshop every Saturday.
It's been nice. Actually every Saturday we've gone to Brighton
and had a lunch or a breakfast.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Where do you go and have lunchrail there there?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Well, the pantry is very very popular.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I haven't breakfast with my one of the kids last week.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Very popular, constantly packed. And then right over the road
is Massy which is a stunning little it's actually a
church sort of front garden, I guess. And we find
ourselves there at least for coffee, if.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Not for lunch.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And the owner is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lady who
always comes over and remembers this each week, you know,
those lovely cafe owns.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yes, Oh she's just there's very special about that.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh so love me?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Do you love people.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Watching around there? Because the residts of Brighton are all
moneyed up, but it's all the yummy mummies. Right, they've
got that kind of like high end leisure wearing if
they've been working out. But it's all immaculate. Yes, it's
like it's been like freshly lawned. Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yes, the hair that may our out us.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It must be like three or four hours before you
get out the house or sat there and walk that
little cavoodle dog.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's a full time job. There was a couple of
girls having brunch next to us. Actually it was ten
thirty in the morning, and they crack opened a bottle
of muwet. Oh, you're kidding, And I thought, you know
what you go sisters. If I could do that, I
would as well. I thought, that goes fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Look at them right now.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You live is short.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh we know, we don't know what they might be
celebrating someone that's right.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Might yes, you're right, or they're are Grandma for the
first I just any excuse is good enough for Moett
At ten thirty on a Saturday morning, I say, I
thought it was great. But I tell you what, Brighton
people driving through Brighton do not know how to navigate
a roundabout.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, I know what you mean. Whenever I have to
drive over to Brighton. Right, there are three roundabouts on
Church Hit about three hundred inches and none of the
locals know how to navigate around.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Shocking. It's like a game of Russian Roulette rio. You've
got no idea they should do.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
The next Mad Max movie should be just on Church Street.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
In real time, we nearly had three We were nearly
t bowing three times along those roundabouts by drivers I
might adding very nice cars who just like steamroll through
it and obviously have no idea that you have to
give way to your right for cars that are already
on the roundabout.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Why do you reckon it? Is? It is Brighton entitlement.
I think is money and in title and parts.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Macular cars, and they think they should just been to
enter their roundabouts. Also they see people like you and
I and no where old money and we know we
don't live locally.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And also they judge your car like, oh gosh, get
off the road. I'm coming through in my Cayne.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I know my can and I'm sorry, but the little
Yonda Tucson was no match for the Cayenne or the
BMW or the Merchant got us on the third time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You've got massive like Sherman tanks sort of four boy
to ferry around some little two year old on a
booster seat.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Are they worse than where Patsy?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh? Great drivers.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
That's mainly tractors, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Those haymails dropping straw on the back.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
There is an on tractor, yes, somewhere of the firm
market cards. But it was terrifying and the third time
it happened we actually had to like slam our brakes
on to avoid collision in the car. Just she just
kept driving, like.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Don't tell you why she's been the champagne. You don't
go make up your mind. I actually, you know it's
in into my the worst drivers in Melbourne. You're right,
Brighton is a nightmare and it's those roundabouts. People don't
know how they use the roundabouts, so they they don't
know the etiquette about giving way to the right.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Don't they teach that, like your girls have just recently
got their license?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I do think, do you know what? I think? It's
not taught like that anymore. They've changed it. They have
changed it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It's not ultimately they'll give way to the right. It's
like that in the UK, but here it's like whoever's
on the roundabout, how's control of the roundabout?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yes, so I always grew up giving way to the right,
and there's just been they've sort of snuck in a
change where it's like it's just whoever's their first first,
come first. Yes, that's that's just bizarre, and that's anyone true.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
No, you're right, no one's been. They haven't updated us.
So I was giving my daughter's false information. So I
was going to wait here, you give way to the right.
They just carry on when they don't driving instructor maybe
it was one of Christian's daughters.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Good luck everybody, I do believe.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, bright are some of the worst drivers in Melbourne.
The other one is than in Highway.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Oh really, Oh my god. I come. I come in
to work every day on that high roll.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It is a nightmare, even very early night. So I
get on it at five am. It's the trade's ah right.
A lot of they've got They've had a lot of caffeine,
some of them, you see, like with that big sort
of jumbo tron, the frank green bottle of filled up
with coffee and then they're chugging a monster energy drink.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Right, too much, too soon?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Right, and then they're doing those souped up there's the
V eight sort of ute, and it's.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Just like, why do you need to get to work
so quickly?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
They must have so much meaning and purpose on that
building site. They really want to get to work very quickly.
I think that we need our own Trady Lane, Yes,
Monster Lane.
