This is what happens when the majors buy out all of the competition and end up having a monopoly. Because there is little choice the huge supermarkets have all the control. I remember as a kid there were so many different supermarkets all competing against each other, only to be bought out by...

Agree that the Kong Knot toys are the best. Our little Pomeranian, Albie, favours and loves these toys over the others that he has and loves chewing them and playing with them. There are such a variety of different ones and they come in a variety of sizes. Other types we found do not cater for...

We had that rule in our home, you do not leave the table until all is finished and you have asked to leave the table once every one else had finished and knives and forks placed together. It was a time for the family to sit and talk which we did. My mother used to tell us how lucky we were that...

Sign of the times. No care for service just about self not others. It starts from the top - just about money and meeting targets, forget about people (especially in people businesses). There is such a loss of connection nowadays with management, the workers and customers. We all need to work...

So true!

My dad would bring this home each Monday that he would collect with the afternoon newspaper, so Monday nights was reading TV Week cover to cover and doing the crossword. The picture with the edition on it I remember reading. I continued to do this in my adult life until about 10 years ago I was...

I was 16 when I got my bankcard. I had a part time job, still at school and had a $100 limit. It was great to use to make purchases. I have never spent more than I could afford and to this day have never been charged interest. My parents believed that having this would teach me some...

I am 63 and always bent the tape measure. I will be doing it this way as in the video from now on. You never stop learning something new. Thank you for the article.

I have mine from when I left home and also have my mum's. We use these all the time, and they are so convenient in so many ways. Some of the ones we have look the same as in the pics - but no interested in value $, we value them because we use them and have most of our adult life. They should...

Clever, thanks for the laugh.

What a great idea!

My grandmother always had one of these in the kitchen and laundry (in the concrete tubs) with the sunlight soap. She said it was the "magic cleaner".

Good on her - live your life happily doing what you want to. Age is no barrier. (except for the aches and pains). Good example of work ethic, something some young people could learn from.

Again lack of planning, forethought and action by governments floating by on times of prosperity and ignoring future proofing have led us to this issue. We built our home with thought of seeing us through until we no longer can remain there. Our considerations meant thinking of the future of...

Another example of huge companies out for huge profits without thinking about workers being paid a fair and reasonable wage and having a quality product. This is so called progress.

Once family run companies are sold off to be multi-national profit based companies the heart and sole of providing quality for their customer base disappears. Arnotts are just another example. I have not had Arnotts biscuits for some years and bought some the other day, had a bite and the rest...

My god - I saw this and immediately started to sing the theme song. I had forgotten about this but all memories have come back watching this as a child.

What is happening with the youth today? The brazen attacks, the lack of respect for others and for property. It is becoming a scary world.

We installed Solar Panels a few years ago with a great feed back return. There are only two of us but our home is large and we run ducted air all year around and use a drier. Once we installed solar we noticed that our bills for the last few years have been zero or we get money back in credit...

Love Gymea Lillies. We have four but they have never flowered. They have been in our garden for over fifteen years.
