    Cottee’s soft drinks

    Lime Coola was my go to if I had the money to buy it. Soft drinks were a luxury and there was "plenty of water in the tap" which meant no you can't have one. I can still taste it, it was great.

    Caught on camera: Frustrated customer exposes Australia Post's 'locked gate' excuse

    That does not sound right. My husband also works for Australia Post part time sorting mail and parcels. He works from anywhere between midnight and 8am getting proper breaks and getting paid extra if he needs to stay longer at busy times. He gets paid extra for the graveyard shift which...

    Arnotts

    Arnotts biscuits have changed - alot. The taste is not the same, it is now salty and tastes funny. Tim Tams - gone from 11 -9 in a pack. Some have only 7. The shortbread with macadamia was a beautiful bikky once with a cuppa but has disappeared long ago. Its hard to find a decent packet of...

    Stinky situation: Neighbourhood on high alert as ‘poo-petrator’ strikes again

    Small businesses face uphill battle against Meta as hacked social media accounts increase

    I am so glad I never signed up to either of these things. Tripadvisor was enough for me to realise you don't have control once you sign up - I could never contact them to delete my account. The old saying goes, be careful what you sign up for is still true today.

    Mr Squiggle.

    Mr Squiggle the man from the moon. Loved this show and always wondered how he could draw with his nose and turn the picture upside down to reveal something, so talented. Miss Pat was his hand holder when I watched him. He used to say "Yes, Miss Pat" alot and my mum and I often used to say this...

    Lunchtime favourites

    These were great summertime treats at the pool. Sunnyboys were my favourite and it seemed to take ages to eat it, they lasted a long time and tasted beautiful and orangy. If you were lucky, sometimes you would find "youve won a free sunnyboy' printed on the inside of the packaging so you could...
