When we built our current home almost thirty years ago we weren’t allowed to have a power point in the bathroom where the bath tub and shower is. The heater had to be wired into a switch inside the wall as well. We were allowed a power point in the ensuite and near the hand basin in the main...

We used to eat a lot of camp pie as kids, guess it was more affordable for poor families than fresh meat. I really liked it, used to buy it now and again just to remind me of my childhood. Haven’t seen it in the shops for many years.

There seems to be more and more so called sports being added to the olympics, why??? I, and I would guess a lot of other people cant be bothered watching the olympics or most sports and being inundated by them on most tv channels for the duration they are on is most annoying. Bring back the old...

“Forced their way in through an unlocked door” Who leaves any door unlocked in this day and age, especially at that time of the morning? This is not excusing these low life scum who committed this horrible crime against older residents of this home. Hopefully they will be caught and locked up...

Never would I share a toothbrush with anyone, including hubby. I don’t usually share anything that goes in the mouth with anyone. Kissing hubby is the exception, although these days even that is mostly just lips touching, I think after 50 years of marriage the need for urgent passionate kissing...

On our way home from school out in the sticks we walked past our grandparents fruit orchard. It was a treat to be allowed to pick one piece of fruit off the tree and eat it as we walked the rest of the way home. it was a big orchard and had all different kinds of fruit trees so there was always...

Do the crime, do the time, regardless of who you are. No one is above the law and any sort of assault on anyone is a crime. Unfortunately high profile ? famous people make headlines for crimes that most people don’t rate a mention anywhere for committing. Gutter, sensation grabbing journalists...

My sister has been trying to get the DSP for over four years now due to a work injury deemed not bad enough for a compensation payout, but that has left her unable to work ever again, a lot of days unable to mobilise very much, some days she can’t get out of bed without assistance. Still she...
