I’m sure it will go down well in WA where everyone is supposed to be rich!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I hope their pizzas are better than they look on TV though!

Just hope they don’t close our regional store. We will be stuffed for shopping if they do. Nearest town for shopping is 280klms away.

Not even a comparison. Friends was funny, sad, amusing, different story lines with lots of different characters. As for Neigbours, every time you saw it advertised Lasiters had another explosion or fire. Must have been the most deadliest hotel on earth! All the characters were so deadpan boring...

Only someone with money would think this.

Also check the fine print, if you have an accident and have been drinking alcohol, you might not be covered.

I’d like to know what sets off certain scam messages. I keep getting ones saying my toll account is overdue. We live about 450 kilometers from the nearest toll road and haven’t been near one for about 4 years! I’m also getting contant parcel delivery ones saying I need to update my details to...

They estimated the size more than what it was, so renovations would have been irrelevant. We only bought the house one year earlier so the ‘sale valuation‘ is also irrelevant. There was simply no reason for anything to change in a 12 month period.

Ours went up 40%. Their excuse is we live in a high fire risk zone. Yet we live in the middle of a rural housing estate! They also told us how many square metres our house is. How on earth would they know that? Even from satellite they can only see the roof line which has a large verandah and...

We were told the same thing. We have CCTV which can be connected to our phones. But unless you pay a fortune for a monitored company (who just rings you anyway if there’s an intruder) they don’t want to know. So it’s either pay for security or pay for the premium.

Nothing to encourage Aboriginals to become part of Australia when they are valued much higher than everybody else. They already get discounts on so much, this is just another kick in the teeth for non Aboriginals.

I agree with you. We lived country but in summer on warm nights we still had to keep the window shut as our neighbors 2 big dogs barked all night. She needed hearing aids so never heard them! I sent her several messages saying it was 12:30 am- Dogs barking. 1:30 am dogs still barking, 2:30 am...

I’m so tired of being told to turn the microwave off when it’s not being used. How many microwaves have the plug at the back of the cupboard making it in accessible? I would guess every single one in a built in cupboard. Can’t turn the TV off as it will lose all its current date and time settings.

We hardly ever buy red meat. Forced to become self funded retirees because of duel redundancies at a late age, we have to be very careful of our weekly grocery bill and red meat is just way too expensive. we can’t “shop around” as we live regional.

Lots of people waited for the Boxing Day sales so they could buy things they needed (or wanted) for far less than normal. many may have waited until Boxing Day to buy Christmas gifts.

I bought a packet of muesli, same one I bought each week and put it into a plastic pourer. I noticed the new packets weren’t filling the pourer the same so I weighed the new bag. It turned out to be quite a lot less than stated on the bag! Cat dry food was another, the bag used to be nearly...
