Ah, but some stores want to make it that way. I had recently been professionally fitted for undergarments & I was a size 16 when I went to one of the large clothing stores to try on a winter jacket & reached size 20 & still too small. When I commented that the sizes marked on garments they...

Food Bank in this area is pretty much a joke. There is little in the way of fresh food, no meat etc. & the products on the shelves are usually not essentials. Yes, I do get some things from there but then have to go to WW to finish off my shopping. I don't know how anyone walks out of Food...

Where are you if it's Saturday? It's still only Friday here & I didn't think any country was ahead of us in the time zone.

Pretty much the same in Sydney. Injecting rooms are just places where people can legally use illegal drugs in the hope they won't overdose. What a joke!!!

I don't mow outside my yard. I don't have the time or the energy or the finances to mow council property. If it gets a bit long then council will come along & mow it. I did read of one person who sent his council an account for the cost of mowing the grass outside his property line...

If you are stuck in stationary traffic & therefore not moving I don't see the problem with using the phone to notify someone you will be late. Only thing is, you need to remove the keys from the ignition as I have heard that if they are in situ then you can be considered to be driving (dumb).

What are KPIs?

I often have mine on the passenger seat if I have got in the car & made a call. I don't want to get out of the car again to put it in my handbag in the back of the car so just turn it off & put it on the seat. I would fight anyone who suggested it was there so that meant I intended to use it...

How would they know it was in your pocket if you had it turned off? It would not be visible or audible so no problem.

I suggest you get a Navman or similar which you can get an attachment so it is attached to your windscreen but out of your line of sight. I am hard of hearing & can hear mine when stuck on the windscreen. Better & safer than using your phone.

The wipes at supermarkets are water based & not designed to sanitise anything. Plus they are located a long way from the trolley storage area so you have to collect your trolley, move it inside the store holding the handle, then you can clean it with a wet wipe if you want to. Rather...

I had similar do-gooders get on my case a few years ago. I left my dogs in my car which had air vents in both rear windows & it was parked on the ground floor of a 3 storey car park. When I heard about their carry-on I left what I was doing & went to my car. I drove out of the car park into...

Compostable paperboard cups are a road to serious burns. After Maccas changed their coffee cups to some paper stuff I got severely burned just trying to remove the lid. I don't often buy coffee when I'm out (I take my thermos from home) but if the only option was to get it in some type of...

Easter eggs & bunnies are luxuries which are totally unnecessary. I know the kids love them but they also have to learn the value of money & this is a unique time to teach them about the cost of the item & what will have to be forgone to balance the family budget.

A little while ago I had someone with an Asian accent ring me. I was very suspicious & so asked him where he was ringing from. The answer was definitely the wrong one - he said New South Wales. I would have expected him to give the me city/town/suburb not the state. He was told none too...

Might I point out to the author of this article that 600m is definitely not 2 feet.

I'm also on a pension but I shop at my local bakery for bread & when I have to go to the "city" (about every 12 weeks) I have found a greengrocer there & always go & buy fruit & veg from him. Always much fresher than you will get at WW, Coles or Aldi & always cheaper a well. You are also...

Will you pay my petrol costs to get there? It's only 200km each way so that shouldn't worry you if you think the savings are so good.

They might not end up in the prison system as juveniles but when they reach adulthood that's where they'll spend a considerable part of their lives.

Once again, city dwellers who know nothing about living outside the city centre.
