The Queensland Handyman

A tradesman pulled over by police in a luxury sports car has more than $590m in

the bank but is not "at liberty" to say how he got it, a Brisbane court has heard.

Phillip Johnathan Harrison was granted bail in the Brisbane magistrates' court

on Saturday, a day after police pulled him over in an Audi sports car and found

quantities of ice, Viagra and ecstasy.

The court heard the bricklayer and carpenter told officers he was worth $12bn

and later explained to his lawyer he had been given the car by the government.

Just been watching the "Blake" mysteries

It's set in '50s Australia and much of it is still "British" lifestyle, they spend pounds, have fry ups for breakfast and take away fish and chips for dinner etc etc.

Yet it's full of all that Aussie slang that makes no sense to a Brit, such as:

The Ambos told me (whatever)

what?

(I worked it out eventually)
