What has happened to the TURKISH DELIGHT in the Favourites boxes? For weeks there has been only one bar in my boxes (Yes I do eat a box a week - or used to). Instead there are at least six bars of the dark chocolate Old Gold and the Moro both of which I hate. I now have a Favourites tin filled...

The two photos showing a 'before' collagen intake and 'after' are two different women. One has two piercings although wearing just one earring. The other (Before) has no piercings. There is a mark but it is not a hole and is above the level of Woman 2. Collagen alone would not have repaired...

Australians have a poor reputation for being respectful when tourists in many countries, especially Asian and Central America. In Bali it is horrific to see women wearing just a bikini top and skimpy shorts at temples and shrines. The Balinese supply sarongs and ask visitors to cover their...

I bought Easter Eggs from Aldi one year on the Thursday before Easter. Two of them were mouldy when the kids opened them on Easter Sunday. This is not the only time I have had mouldy chocolates from Aldi and twice had insects in packaged salad leaves. No more Aldi for me since.

Exactly my thoughts. I have looked at price per unit for years. It is especially valuable for items like cartons of soft drink when priced on sale. Just compare the price per can and see if it is really a saving. I even do it for toilet rolls. You soon get to do it automatically when your...

I hadn't noticed as my Coles continues to stock it and it has been available both in my online orders and on the shelves

Shae on you SDC!! What a lot of horrendous bigotry, hatred and racial prejudice your readers spit out just proving there is a very ugly and dangerous element within Australian society. Most of their comments are repeated false facts from a certain scandal seeking, LNP financed TV station. They...

Take your own wet-wipes as I do so I don't pick up germs from other people or their kids.

As a teenager in the UK I had a jet black cat who went everywhere with me, on busses, trains, shopping, walking beside me or on a lead. If I went out without him he would be waiting at the bus stop when I came home to escort me safely. He liked most dogs but some he would sense may be unfriendly...

I was hitchhiking around Italy from the UK, with a girlfriend back in the 60s and we stayed at a Youth Hostel. I was tiny and had a very short hairdo. I was playing cards with a group of Swedish and German guys when I heard a voice say, "Jeez, are you a sheila?" I whispered, "What language is...

And the homeless get treatment when they need it. In the US they just die!!!!! It isn't perfect by any means but that's because far too many people rort the system. Just imagine if you had to pay for everything yourself as in the US and most other countries.

Totally disagree. Just look at the systems in most other countries especially US where many people just are denied treatment and medicines and the UK where that system is on life support itself. I owe my life to Medicare which has ensured I get medical treatment (four times emergency surgery in...

I have never seen this ad before. I know my ads because I am involved in training actors for commercials and swear this is the first time I have come across it. It is obvious it has been edited. However I love the faces of these two.

Member Spotlight: 'My "Wake" while I am still awake' by Member @EILEEN W As my 80th birthday approached, I was about to have my fourth surgery in 12 months. I looked back over an incredible life and realised that so many people had played a huge part in my four score years, and how could I...

It was 1950 and times were hard after the War with rationing and shortage of food. Christmas presents were going to be a second hand doll with clothes knitted from wool unraveled from my Mum's old jumper. At our village school I saw a beautiful brand new brown teddy bear behind a glass case. I...
