Sidchrome- ya cannae hand a man a grander spanner
Back before People's Socialist Eco Commune of Victoria and CCP Comrade Dave Andrews we had industry:
We also employed women and the disabled. How awful and unenlightened we were.
the Story of Sidchrome in Heidelberg:
As Billy Connolly the Scottish comedian joked about working as a welder on the Clyde shipyards, "What happened to all those odd-looking folks?- You know the guy with one leg a quarter the length of the other?"(Paraphrased)
Sidchrome of course would be used by Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation, General Motors Holden, Ford Australia, Leyland Australia, Mitsubishi Australia, Toyota Australia, Pilkington Glass, Geelong Refinery, State Electricity Commission to build BCLVC, Hazelwood W, Yallourn North, Loy Yang A, Loy Yang A2, Loy Yang B, build the big German bucket wheel excavators, Ajax Bolts and Fasteners, Kenwood, Australian Electric, Sunbeam appliances, the socks, jocks and singlets at Bonds mills where my dear Greek neighbour Helen worked, many of the wool mills of wool country around Warnambool, Vic Rail, V/Line, Melbourne Water, Melbourne Tramways Board, Melbourne Water (you know when we were being price gouged from State industry), Telecom Australia, probably Bank of Victoria... please add your small, medium or large Australian enterprise here (can be a foreign company manufacturing locally like Westinghouse or May Tag, etc)
