    Plus-size Kmart coat controversy explodes online: ‘Come on, Kmart’

    Plus size (yes I am) are the Aged Pensioners of the clothing industry - always forgotten or getting the left-overs. How many of us would honestly wear horizontal stripes by preference? I make my own outfits these days. My own choice of fabrics and colours, not buying one of the same as hundreds...

    ANZ customers to endure a long commute due to local branch closure

    "Aussies are being forced on a 90-minute journey just to access their money after this major bank closed." So it's actually only a branch that is closing, not the entire bank? Way to go SDC for giving Seniors even more stress! Time to close all our bank accounts and put OUR back under the...

    Supermarket facial recognition failure: why automated systems must put the human factor first

    I didn't watch it again but I did waste my time downloading it, and internet usage, and all the articles posted today, only to find I had already recently read them.

    On the radar: Family's shocking find after airport drop-off

    Normally I don't give two hoots, but when the majority of the day's articles were posted less than a month ago I do find it very annoying.

    Why is this repeated less than a fortnight since the previous post?

    Intense confrontation at a dog shelter: This family says they were forced to leave their dog behind!

    And another repost. Not even back far enough for us to have forgotten having read them.

    Breaking bad news: Meth-contaminated properties spark urgent testing trend

    It appears that someone has been extremely lazy reposting all these articles. Doesn't anyone check?

    What's with all these reprinted articles from April?

    Passenger reveals couple’s unbearable behaviour during four-hour flight!

    No new news today? At least you could have changed the date on the article to pretend it was a new one!

    'Doing this now!': Tradie blows people away with 'genius' bin trick

    Not for me, it's hard enough to keep control of one down my driveway. He needs to have his green bin replaced. That huge crack will only get worse.

    ‘Sneaky’ unmarked police car sparks outrage from Aussie drivers

    "Sneaky" and "un-Australian"? Huh? Police have been doing that for ever. Dad used to drive us "to the country" to visit his father. Somewhere around Lithgow he used to tell us to watch for "Peanut Eating Pete". Don't know where the name came from but, more often than not we would find the cop...

    Stranger's ‘rude’ remark at supermarket leaves mum stunned

    Yes, one of my episodes was waiting for the bus with my four year old. Very busy main road, lots of buses and cars at the intersection, and he ran onto the road. I grabbed him back and smacked him on his butt. I hadn't hit him hard and only the once. There I was, squatting down, giving him a...

    Stranger's ‘rude’ remark at supermarket leaves mum stunned

    Yes, it was happening way back in "dinosaur" times too. Was "corrected" several times by older women about how I was doing things wrongly with my son. I must say I think he turned out perfectly. :)

    Crack chicken casserole

    How many servings is this supposed to be for? I do love sour cream but I reckon 16oz is going a bit / lot overboard! I'd love some really economical recipes for a single pensioner.

    Man faces shocking penalty charges for common driving habit

    Terrible place to have your handbag. Once I pulled into a parking spot and before I had even turned it off a bloke was trying to open my boot.

    Customers express outrage over hidden fees on an ‘average tasting sandwich’

    An episode that astounded me was at a Club on the N.S.W. Central Coast. Three friends ordered a cup of coffee each. One requested normal milk, one soymilk and the 3rd lactose free milk. All 3 were charged $2 extra for their tiny jug of milk. To me it seems as though they would be making close to...
