    Woman calls it quits with her bank after being denied access to her own funds: 'What's the point of a bank?'

    Recently I needed $10 for a purchase at the market and only had a $50 note. Went into my bank and asked if they could change it for me. The teller told me she wasn't allowed to do that!! I couldn't believe it and asked what was the point of being open if you can't help a customer...

    Shopper accuses Woolworths of 'daylight robbery' after being charged excessive grocery prices

    I always do a mental tally of my shopping so I have a rough idea of what the total should be. Also try to keep special priced items together at the checkout and watch to ensure they are scanned correctly. Last of all I check the docket before leaving the store. OK, it takes a few moments but...

    King Charles $5 note snub triggers backlash: 'A disappointment to many Australians'

    While Australia is part of the Commonwealth, I feel it disrespectful not to have King Charles on the note. I don't think anybody has the right to change tradition. Surely they could incorporate the recognition of First Australians as well as the King? I am not impressed.

    Interesting. Just checked Amazon site to order storage bags but they are on special at $19.99 and not $15.74 as you thought. Not such a good deal after all.

    British expat’s scathing review of popular Aussie town has locals fuming

    Should have gone to Europe if she loved it that much. Like the immigrants who do whatever to get to live here then promptly try to change our way of life to what they left behind. This is a beautiful country, great people and an amazing way of life. Shut up or ship out!!!

    ALDI's newest product is made-in-China and it’s getting mixed reactions from shoppers

    Why all the fuss? We don't worry about so many other items we purchase that are made in China. If it saves money, helps the environment, no problem as far as I can see. If you don't approve, then don't buy it. End of story.

    ‘This is genius’ – Laundry just got a lot easier thanks to this new gadget

    My great grandmother, grandmother and mother all had them in England. In fact I can't recall any house I went in that never had one in the kitchen. Great overnight but a tad annoying during the day having to duck under the washing!!

    What!!! There are two sides to every story and she had absolutely no right to intervene. Her role was purely that of a Uber driver not judge and jury!! She has no right to be allowed to continue as a Uber driver and should be censored.

    Charles and Camilla's alleged love child from Australia plans to release a Netflix series about his life

    Sorry, but I don't believe in fairy tales. I totally agree with helenoconnor's comment. To me it seems obvious that anybody can make outlandish claims knowing full well they cannot be disputed nor proven. I think he thinks he has opened Pandora's Box and looking to make a fortune!!

    Wife 'disgusted' after catching her husband in a 3 am act – is it technically cheating?

    I too discovered a similar thing in my "happy" marriage. Yes he was sorry etc etc but it was the beginning of the end - he was hooked and eventually ended up leaving. You cannot change people. Move on!! He will always be a cheat, trust me.

    Do what I did in a similar instance - walk round her and she will soon change her attitude. No excuse for bad manners.

    Maybe it is ideal for some people but why make a fuss - nobody is forcing anyone to buy it.

    Aussie TV hosts call Harry and Meghan 'D-grade celebrities'; they're said to NOT be welcome in the UK

    Why on earth do we have to keep hearing of their spoilt brat, childish ways. They opted to leave the "Firm" so isn't it best to just ignore them and treat them with the contempt they both deserve!!!
