The story goes this way:
A new arrival to Tassie, with mega experience in their specific field of expertise in other parts of the country, and world, comes here to settle and establish themselves as an arbiter of excellence of product and national following. They proclaim their prior experience and credentials loudly to all and sundry, including local and national newspapers, radio and television, as well as state and federal government departments.
All their claims are believed by us – mere mortals living quietly in this perceived backwater state, and not having any cause or reason to dispute said claims.
Slowly, person by person, this immigrant lets us down. They do this in a number of ways: by repeatedly failing to keep their word; by badmouthing others’ products or services and making the erroneous assumption that it won’t get back to the relevant person, or a friend or relative of theirs, and that they won’t be judged, and marked down, for that badmouthing; by taking credit for others work on their behalf; by actually producing bad quality product which in no way measures up to their previous claims.
Silly, shortsighted immigrant.

Ooh who is it then Rita, the suspense is killing me!
Actually not about anyone specific really, however some may see commonalities with people they might have known in the past, or maybe know now.
L*o Schofi*ld?
TB - I have never heard anything negative said about LS, and have never seen or heard him say negative things about anything in Tassie other than the usual questioning the status quo which we all do.
Dave Martin?
Rita... I must say this is very unlike you... there must have been a straw that broke the camel's back for this post to be written? or perhaps someone hacked into your account and logged on as you? perhaps the latter may be true.. as i sense a touch of sarcasm with the LS comment (particularly as I could provide you with a book of all the negative things said about him!)
TJ

Anon 11.45 - I know who he is, but don't know him, sorry.

Insider - love your inside info tidbits. I too heard a rumbling about BIC. Re the new Moorilla chef: we await this announcement with interest.
