    Guess who's to blame: A seven-year-old girl comes home with a tattoo after visiting her grandma

    Well, it is a criminal offence. The perpetrator cannot be located, but mum should ensure that her complaint is recorded by police so that future action can be brought against the aunt. If it is not a temporary tattoo, as suggested by the aunt, mum should consider a civil action on behalf of her...

    ‘You played sport for fun and not for money’

    Millicent, most commercial grade sportspeople have been practicing their sport virtually all of their childhood, youth, formative years and early adulthood to be commercially graded. That commitment is very often for more of their lives than it is for professional people. Sportspeople give great...

    Outraged homeowner draws flack for a 'ridiculous' note exposing a golfer's behaviour

    In the first instance, I would like to point out that what has been described is not "golfer's misbehaviour". The article does not reveal any information to indicate the golfer deliberately drove a ball through the complainants windows, or struck the ball from adjacent public land.. That would...

    Outrageous! This Aussie mum was tricked by a pub into paying an extra $4 for her meal

    It is regrettable that the customer was forced to "name and shame" the establishment in order to obtain a positive response to a genuine grievance, no matter how small in monetary terms.

    You won't believe the ‘rude’ surprise a couple left this waitress after dining out

    Any sort of behaviour can be expected in USA, but in Australia it is the norm for people to refer to client's as "love" or "darling" or some such. Not many find it offensive, but, as in USA, there will be circumstances when such terms of endearment will be regarded by the client as outside the...

    Battle of the Homebrand Meat Pies—Coles, Woolworths, IGA, & ALDI

    As you write, it "Comes down to personal taste..." For mine, the tester's comments regarding the Elmsbury brand pies sold by ALDI were extremely generous.

    This American woman's odd questions about Australia caused a huge controversy–find out why!

    No need to be critical about the enquiries made by a person who is foreign to Australia. Just enjoy the fun of developing sensible (and respectful) answers. Remember that we know a good deal (but not everything) about North America, because of communication of their lifestyles by radio...

    Woolworths posts a whopping $1.62b profit despite the ongoing cost-of-living crisis

    On my rough calculations, if Woolies achieved $1.62b net profit on sales of $36.7b that results in net profit of 4.4% not 6%, or is your report a bit "skew-whiffed"? o

    Are you unknowingly breaking this obscure car rule Aussies drivers seldom know about?

    "Who would have thought that an arm extended could result in a financial penalty". The "financial penalty" is far less severe than the physical penalty it seeks to prevent.

    Unveiling Australia's Finest Wines: Winners from the Sydney Royal Wine Show Revealed!

    Who cares? The "best wines" are exclusively for the pleasure of them that can afford it. Not for us pensioners and self-funded retirees.

    Despite a staggering $2.1bn profit, why is Telstra still increasing your mobile fees?

    Is the "yearly profit" gross profit or net profit. I notice that whenever reports of this nature appear in the media, no one bothers to state the difference. There is indeed a big difference when calculating profit as an element of net income and that of gross receipts. Get the facts first, then...

    Joke an AUSSIE TRAVELLER

    Well done Gil, well done Observer. SDC has a habit of ignoring spelling and grammar mistakes, but the habit is manifold in its "Word of the Day" spelling, meaning and pronunciation.
