…Having an ice-cold schooner at the freshly painted bar is priceless.
When there’s a pub that needs painting, you’d think the beer economy would kick into gear. However, Railway Hotel manager Elisabeth decided to forgo the traditional bartering system and head online to ServiceSeeking.com.au.
Not only did she save time and money, but she also ended up with painters who “only drink milk” – talk about irony!
