    Re: Barkers Cafe opens at Whitten Oval

    Went past the Barkers cafe on my way in on Saturday. Unfortunately the ATM was at of action so I couldn't get any food but next time I go to WO will try it if I have coins and noted on me. The prices looked decent there as well.

    Fantastic. Had some issues with the last cafe. So that's the cafe sorted and the cheersquad. Peter is really getting things in order.

    Right you are.
    I took the old man to the museum and to watch training over some banana bread last year. Some bloke with tattoos was going off at the junior staff, who were just kids and not very happy. The vibe wasn't good.

    That ATM works properly about as often as Liam Jones! They really need to do something about it.

    I wonder if Gordon & Montgomery made a profit out of the sale. Which is absolutely fine, but interesting.

    It's a funny figure-250 106. Why not 250 000 or 255 000?

    Why would that be? Add on for stock at hand maybe?

    It may simply be what it was valued at independently.

    Barkers seems to be a meeting place now whereas before it was just a footy cafe.
