    Woolworths’ decision on iconic ANZAC Day tradition leaves veterans outraged: ‘It’s common courtesy’

    What a disgrace - first Woolies deny Australia Day, and now they are giving Anzac Day the shove. When will their woke management realise that they are entirely misreading the Aussie public, who are the ones they need in their stores. They got it wrong with their support for the Yes vote, and...

    ‘What’s that smell?’: Man’s shocking ALDI rice discovery makes his stomach turn

    For goodness sake - throwing out the microwave is over the top. There are plenty of ways to remove smells from microwaves, try googling it. And as for permeating the whole house - try opening the windows and using your preferred room deodoriser. If the smell was that bad, why didn't the...

    Rotten behaviour: Woolworths shoppers peel back on purchases after disgusting act in the fruit aisle

    In Woolie, I have seen a mother intent on her phone, ignoring her child in the meat section who was busy poking his finger into the packs of meat, delighted when he "popped" the plastic and then moving to another one. When I pointed this out to her, she couldn't have cared less, excusing the...

    Fans spot revealing detail in Australian-born Danish Queen’s latest photo

    Who are these people that care so much about "reading" meanings into photos? Find something worthwhile to nag about.

    Biscuit bug-out: Coles ingredient leaves mum crumbling in disgust!

    This person is clearly uneducated, cochineal has been around for years. Perhaps she needs to start reading more labels and learning about what goes into foods, and why, and what their effects are, before sounding off in screaming outrage. There is no indication that she took the product back...

    Bunnings employee exposes mistreatment of workers by sexist customers

    Get over yourself - stop looking to be offended, and be grateful that you have a job. There are plenty of female customers at Bunnings, make a point of going up to them and asking if you can help them, instead of challenging men with your feminism

    Princess’s absence fuels speculation: ‘Everything that’s been happening is weird’

    No-one else's business, she is probably sick of the endless speculation. I don't see why "the public" has a right to know about every molecule of any celebrity's life. I was very glad that the Queen's death certificate showed that she died of "old age", I didn't need or want to know anything...

    Mum overlooks detail in ALDI purchase: ‘I didn’t realise it’

    I think this probably originates from Europe, and Aldi is just selling in Australia what it would sell in Europe. Australia is the only country I've known where people routinely use a flat sheet AND a doona. I never use a flat sheet, just change my doona cover every week, and in summer, just...

    Letter to ‘Mr Bean’ exposes shocking closure of BankSA branch

    And what is really annoying is when your local netball club, footy club or any other community group wants to open a new bank account and the bank which holds your accounts, and which closed its doors in your small country town, insists that the signatories of the new account have to travel to...

    BEWARE: Study reveals a hidden danger in Aussie homes and sparks outcry for a nationwide ban

    This sounds like the usual alarmist faux catastrophic woffle that I would expect from the ACT. Just what are we going to be able to use to warm ourselves if we can't use wood heaters, can't have gas (very dirty), certainly can't have coal - oh, I know, we'll keep warm by pedalling furiously on...

    David Koch explains why younger Aussies have ‘short end of the stick’ in housing market

    So if Kochie wants to generalise about boomers not really being affected by interest rates, then we can generalise about how millenials and Gen Z and all the other irrelevant names given to younger groups of people. They are the ones who seemingly spend big money on cafe breakfasts, and trendy...

    Aussie expat lists down 4 strange British customs in London that she now finds 'completely normal'

    When I first arrived in Australia, I wanted an ice lolly - had to wait until I could find a shop selling icecreams with pictures on the wall to learn that Aussies call them icy poles. Got a temp job as a church secretary and had a very embarrassing time learning that what is sellotape in UK is...

    Discovery of 'baby rat' in food can urges immediate investigation in Coles supermarket

    Buy Australian grown and packed chickpeas instead - I always buy Edgells, the only chickpeas I have found that are grown and processed in Australia

    Family sues a restaurant in federal court over $364 lobster dinner!

    They were totally wrong - just getting up and walking out without paying, without discussing their concerns with the owners is plain stupid. Of course they would be labelled scammers. Incidentally, did they eat the food and then complain, or complain immediately it was put in front of them.
