The internet has blessed us with another quintessentially Australian moment that’s been doing the rounds lately - a tradie wearing electrical tape as makeshift thongs at what appears to be a local pub. Pure genius or pure desperation? Perhaps a bit of both.

Standing there in his hi-vis shirt, this resourceful sparky wouldn’t let a little thing like proper footwear stand between him and a cold one after work. The solution? Black electrical tape fashioned into a crude pair of thongs. The craftsmanship might not win any design awards, but you’ve got to admire the ingenuity.
