Return of the snag! Sydneysiders queue around the block for Bunnings' sausage sizzles after they were cancelled for seven long months due to coronavirus restrictions

By

Sydneysiders have finally celebrated the return of the beloved Bunnings sausage sizzle, months after it was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.    

Customers rejoiced as the fundraiser was brought back in stores across Queensland and the Northern Territory in recent weeks, prompting bigwigs to expedite its return in New South Wales too. 

On Sunday, people shared photographs queuing out the front of hardware chains throughout the state, waiting to pick up a snag. 

Bunnings chief operating officer Deb Poole said they had 'phenomenal customer feedback in states where they brought it back.

'Community groups have done an incredible job prioritising customer safety with new physical distanced layouts and additional hygiene measures,' she said.

One happy customer said seeing the fundraising tent up and running again felt like 'order had been restored to the galaxy'. 

Customers at Belrose Bunnings said it was a 'nice return to normal' to see the sausage sizzle out the front during their Bunnings run on Sunday.

'It's great to have it back. It's an icon for the weekend run to Bunnings and a nice return to normal. It's a good sign that things are going in the right direction,' one customer said.  

The hardware giant cancelled all sausage sizzles across Australia on March 18 over coronavirus fears.

Almost four months later on July 9, the sausage sizzle returned to select Bunnings stores in Tasmania and the Northern Territory using a new layout that promotes physical distancing and includes increased personal hygiene processes.

Sizzles return to ACT on September 30 and were back in New South Wales from this weekend.

Select Bunnings stores in Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia reintroduced the sausage sizzle in July, with 200 community groups since holding fundraising barbecues. 

Ms Poole thanked customers for being 'patient' as further measures were introduced to support a COVID-safe plan.  

'While we know they will be excited by this return, as are we, we’d just ask everyone to continue to be patient and respect the guidelines in place.'

The retailer said they are continuing to follow the government's advice during the coronavirus pandemic, with the sausage sizzle subject to government restrictions in each state. 

Community groups who were already booked in but had their events cancelled were given $500 gift cards by Bunnings to help with fundraising.

By
Jeffrey Epstein spent an hour of his day watching explicit episodes of Girls Gone Wild while working out and cavorting with nubile young women at his private Caribbean island, as seen in these photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. The perverted financier, who committed suicide at age 66 in August 2019, would ride his exercise bike as he watched the X-rated footage -featuring bare-breasted college girls - because it was 'inspiration' for him, a source who spent time on the island told DailyMail.com. Epstein, who reportedly demanded sex three times a day, was transfixed by the graphic videos that showed young women flashing their breasts to the camera in bars and nightclubs.   New details of his sinister life have further been exposed in never-before-seen photographs of his private island Little St James, which was dubbed 'pedophile' and 'orgy' island by disgusted locals. Epstein appears in the series of images surrounded by nubile young women, including s...

Ministers have been told that Phase One of controversial rail line HS2 could cost £800million more than planned. It comes just six months after a budget increase saw total predicted costs for the first stage of the high-speed line soar by £20.6billion to £43billion. In a written statement to Parliament, HS2 Minister Andrew Stephenson said half of this figure is due to preparation of the route for construction involving 'more significant challenges than anticipated'. This includes the need to remove more asbestos than expected. Another 'significant cost pressure' worth £400 million has also been identified during the development of designs for Euston station. Mr Stephenson warned that further investigation is being carried out which 'could identify further pressure'.
