Explains our state government perfectly!

Thanks Veggiepatch, we can always rely on you for advice, along with a few other very helpful people. I think that’s one of my favourite things about the Forum.

No I don’t Penny, so that’s why we have to get the CD drive to transfer to either the iPad or MacBook. Where do you download your music from? Do you use Apple Music or iTunes? We will be speaking with our son later so will ask him though maybe I’ll ask the boys over the road, I’m sure the 9yr...

It’s actually safer to reverse park, especially at some of the medical facilities I have driven my husband to. The way people drive in Launceston makes it unsafe to reverse out, I’ve often witnessed drivers edging out slowly & then having to go back in because others were going too fast. I...

Our last car had a tow bar but with the reversing camera you could see exactly where it was so there is no need for them to ever protrude onto a footpath. If you don’t have a camera then check where it is before you walk away. Tow bars do have a few uses though & the last one did save me from...

My husband & I are very lucky to have a son who is a tech expert. He introduced us to Apple products & even supplied me with my first iPhone & iPad, then when my husband retired he was slowly converted to Apple as well. Any problems, we just messaged our boy who told us how to fix things, he’s...

It shows you where the front of your car is. 360 degree cameras are absolutely brilliant. We picked up a new car last Friday & it has all sorts of safety features. I absolutely love it.

Let us know when you try it Veggie, I most certainly don’t want to. 😂

I received eggs yesterday in my Woolworths order & noticed that they had several options online. It’s the first time for a few weeks though, usually I have to go to IGA.

Please stay safe everyone who will be affected by Alfred. I admire the courage of everyone who is staying put & hoping for the best, as well as the brave rescue people. I can’t imagine how scary it will be. I’ll be glad to hear from you all afterwards to say that you’re okay & came through...

You sound just like my brother TonyV. We switched to an automatic when I developed arthritis in my feet & had trouble with constantly changing gears, now we love our automatic cars & wouldn’t change back ever. But it’s a case of each to their own.

My mother in law was amazing, especially after she realised I wasn’t going to produce a whole herd of children. One birth was more than enough.

I miss absolutely nothing about our earlier cars.

I totally agree with you magpie, it’s of real concern. Trouble is people & our government don’t want to know about it, they’re too busy writing off environmentalists & scientists as scaremongering. I’ve read a couple of books on the subject & now my husband & brother no longer eat Tassie salmon...
