I would have no qualms about looking at the menu and if too expensive for me I would get up and walk away. Some places have the menu in the window or outside or you could look up online before you go out for a meal so you have an idea of the cost of your meal. We can afford to pay these...

Great if I was 40 years younger ;)

Remember when Kerry Anne Kennely's husband John had that tragic accident where he ended up a quadriplegic. They had to pay for everything privately (yes they could afford it but others cannot) and she has been championing for the age limit to be raised. John has now passed away as we all know .

Sorry the age is under 65 not 55.

I am ropeable over this. Why were proper checks and balances not put in place "before" the scheme even got off the ground. Blind Freddy (apologies to any blind Freddies out there) could see it was open to abuse. Overcharging is apparently rife through most of the system from stories I have...

If you do not deal in drugs you are OK. The police must have the phone of the drug dealers or others and of course if you rang the number attached to this the police have your number in the log of the drug dealer. That is how I read it. I am not worried...never touched any drugs other...

First I have heard of it!

What we do is just never answer the phone unless the person is in our "phone book". If the phone rings it always say "so and so is calling" so we pick up. Anyone else can leave a message. We signed up for Do Not Call and do not get as many these days. Works for us.

I gave up buying from the deli at my local Coles due to the rudest person they have behind the counter. Even a letter written to the Manager (never got a response btw) telling her how rude she was to customers and to have a look at the Facebook page and see complaints from others.

Finally someone with a brain and he used it. Well done. It is not hard to engage and we all know (it has been advertised widely) that the banks do not send you text messages like this at all. Unsolicited phone calls my hackles immediately go on alert.

Prefer to buy my own meat and veg and I dont want to buy so much for two of us.

Noticed plenty in my Woolworths store at Miami (WA) this morning. Would not know there was a shortage at all. Personally I don't buy softdrinks so not concerned.

No, but I will! Heard last night on tv that coffee will be $6 a cup or even more soon. Well I refuse to pay that. I do not drink much coffee...only one a day so I will have it for breakfast as I normally do.

I live within spitting distance of Cole but I would still be charged $10. The retirement village I live in is 2 mins drive away (or less) straight up the road so surely they could come up with a cheaper charge for residents who live here.

So now we know it can happen to Telstra as well as Optus. I stayed with Optus. No problem personally with them at all.

Bankwest is our main account for our daily transactions, super etc. I always draw out cash one a fotrnight but there is no Bankwest ATM close by. However I also have an account with Police and Nurses and I can go to an ATMX which is close by and withdraw at no charge. What I now do is once a...

Talking about being vigilant I usually buy my look alike Drumsticks (the icecreams) Crowns from Aldi for $3.69 for a pack of four. Today bought a pack of Drumsticks from Coles on special for $4.75. Weighed one of the Aldi ones and it was 86 grams. The other one from coles was 71 grams...

Today at my local newsagent a sign on the wall asking customers to please pay with Cash (if able to do so). Cash is King it said. The push is on...thankfully.

I do our banking online. My husband with short term memory loss cannot work a computer other than his ipad to play games. If I fall off the perch first he is up the creek without a paddle if we are forced into digital. Mentally challenged and disabled who understand cash and use it capably...
