TD yep i spent time as a kid in Tongala where the Nestle factory (always called "Nessels" to the locals) was the main claim to fame. Haha yep is a small town (we also won the Goulburn Valley Football League grand final in 1981!!), but which splat-head came up with ness-lay?? If that's how its pronounced in whatever European country its from then good on em but it was always "Nessles" in Australian accent. Not now though unfortunately.
