The supermarkets only let us withdraw $200. ATM's fees are over the top for withdrawals, so that leaves us driving to the bank to withdrawal cash. Finding a nearest bank these days requires a 'spin the wheel' to land where one is situated. If I use a card, I always keep receipts for spenditure.

Yes, they must have brought in charges these days. Many years ago, I used to go to the person's bank knowing their bank details, and deposit it directly into their account in lieu of my bank to transfer. The issue now is finding a bank close by for some people to do this.

In all my life, I've never met a destitute GP. It does seem odd that some are balking at getting paid more for bulk billing patients. They don't balk at accepting payment from the government though.

Did you mean the bank charged you $4 transaction fee to deposit your donation to Telethon account?

I use both card and cash. I don't go to shops that charge me a 1% card fee. It's just as easy to keep a tally of expenditure with cards, as people can keep their receipts.

My local farmer's market stalls all have wireless eftpos, plus they accept cash as well. It depends what individual business deal is with their bank, due to eftpos varying business fees.

I'm certainly not against having cash, except I feel it's an uncertain situation with Armaguard. They accepted a mega deal amount to keep going until next year. When that date ends, it's up the ACCC to decide.

We persevered for years with Telstra's substandard modem/router. In the end, we changed to another provider with significantly more speed who charges the same as what we paid Telstra. Telstra is over-rated.

I remember a boy and his sister at primary school who had their feet squished in those wringers. Lost their feet and needed to wear wooden stumps. But hey, that boy could run fast on them.

In that case it's 180 degrees fan forced for me. Your wood stove sounds toasty and warm.

Um, I thought it was about William & Kate winning their French court case. Not anyone, any place.

Whatever, I thought it was self explanatory.

"The Prince and Princess of Wales won a French court case over intrusive photos from their private family holiday." "The court ruled that Paris Match breached their privacy and ordered the magazine to acknowledge its actions." Obviously you have never worked in a legal practice to know laws.

What? A court case isn't gossip.

Yes, I agree. I used to think Judges were out of touch too, until I was called up for several jury duties.
