We had to tell them about their sign behind the counter at Happy Chef. It said orang chicken. Now if you speak Malay/Indonesian, you will know what that means. We told them and they added the e to the orang. I should have taken my phone out and photographed it first.
Nosey in Newtown is about what goes on right under your nose. It's curosity about your habitat and engagement with your home. It's treading every footpath and delighting in every funny-looking dog and finding the beautiful in the familiar. It's about talking to the local shopkeepers and feeling connected with your community. It's about reclaiming the right to be a nosey neighbour. Not being invasive, or meddling, but sticking your nose around a few corners and sniffing around for surprising finds. Because what's going down in your neighbourhood is your business.
Have you been Noseyed?
If you've received a Nosey In Newtown calling card like this, then you've been Noseyed! You've inspired your neighbours to ponder something intriguing or wonderful that you have done. It would be lovely if you could leave a comment or send an email to let Nosey know more. No-one's privacy is invaded on Nosey In Newtown, and the location of private property is never revealed, but if you'd prefer to be removed from the site, that's no problem at all.

Hey, that"s not in Newtown!
Newtown is the native habitat of Noseys, but they can be found in Enmore, Camperdown, St Peters and sometimes a bit of Erskineville.

That's beautiful. What could have been a mere typo has been elevated to something else.
It's an acquired taste I suppose.
Eek.
LOL!
What an oxymoron.
I am soooo not going there...
perhaps they were a bit vague about what was in them...
