A lot of discussion about baskets. I'd think there are more important issues to focus on. I take my own trolley, if things don't fit, I can't get them home - I have to get the trolley on a bus! I also take a list. I follow it pretty well, but keep my eye out for the weeks discounts. I'm not...

I have a slightly different problem. Yes, I have had cars parked in front of my house, necessitating my moving my bins, but I also have someone regularly dumping their rubbish in my bins, AND in the wrong bins too - e.g. plastic in the "paper" recycling bin and cardboard (lots of it!) in my...

I would consider myself more technology orientated than my peers and probably could adapt to digital payment, but being digitally aware I am also concerned about scamming. However much of the pressure to convert to cashless payments is from banks, cashless transactions would not only reduce...

I, like many, recycle the few items I have. My problem is people dumping their rubbish in my bins. they don't wrap their rubbish properly, risking damage to my bins so I have to wait until morning to put my bins out, risking missing the pickup if I sleep in. They also put things in the wrong...

All this emotion towards the royal family is interesting. They are no different from any family of means, they have their differences and like any well known family it gets into the news. However these rumours usually (but I admit not always) have less to do with the family and more to do...

What happens if you don't have a driving licence? Google? I'm not keen on giving access to such information (or similar) it's as bad as banks forcing you to use cards instead of cash, then charging you for doing so! But then I don't agree with their sending Medicare cards through the mail...

I'm hesitant about using a mobile phone as verification - what happens if it's lost or stolen? Also, I avoid automatic verification by my system or permanently opened email accounts, particularly those linked to a financial account or card. I used to accept automatic verification, until I...

After reading all that, I'm glad I don't watch this stuff. Says a lot about homo sapiens as a species. It's meant to mean "thinking" man, maybe there are a few other adjectives one could add?

There are so many stories I could tell about hospital and nursing home care, or lack of. Not only the lack of concern about my aged parents, but also their disregard for carers and their needs. My aged father was in hospital and we believed due for discharge the next day day. When I asked...

Covid affects people in different ways and according to which strain they catch. Millions of people died, so it should be treated with some respect. My sister (a nurse) was wiped out for weeks, yet I, with Pulmonary Fibrous, barely knew I had it. Covid went through my father's nursing home...

I don't know about medical viruses, this one seems to be limited to a certain group. However I do know about computer viruses, I've had a few scam popups telling me I have one. The latest from some ad in a Seniors Discount email. I couldn't close the thing down. Turned out to be a scam, but...

I wonder if smart trollies will be employed and how these could affect the disabled, Would they help or hinder?

Having witnessed the decline of my parents over the years and realising my possible decline (autoimmune condition), I am curious how self serve will cater for the disabled. Even voice operated terminals won't be effective if a person is on oxygen.
