    Canvas water bag

    Yes, that's it, the hessan bag flavour, I was trying to think of it as a canvassy taste but yes it is the hessian bag taste. Thank you for that. I am amazed at how all the old photos trigger memories for me that I haven't thought of for donkeys years. How life has changed since these photos were...

    Seasoned critic dishes take on modern manners: Tastefully breaking bread or overdone?

    Same here, I have changed my seating position so I don't have to see them, it's enough to put you off your food. You can still enjoy your food and eat properly as well.

    Canvas water bag

    Yep we had one of these and would fill it up before our long trip out west to go fishing. I didn't really like the taste of the water but that's all we had to drink. Only for seeing the photo I had forgotton all about water bags cause you never see them now.

    Seasoned critic dishes take on modern manners: Tastefully breaking bread or overdone?

    One thing that parents should teach their children at the dinner table is don't speak with a mouthful of food and to close your mouth whilst eating. I have seen so many adults while out dining talking while they have a mouthful of food and eating food with their mouth open, you can see the food...

    'Old-school' discipline is back? Parents share thoughts on classroom guidelines

    Yes Pommyoz, the cows have come home to roost on this hot potato. I agree, its the parents job to instil discipline long before they start school, example when they are toddlers and you go shopping they have to learn to behave while you are getting groceries and not crying for lollies and toys...

    How do you stay active?

    I take my dog for a walk in the mornings if it is not raining. She loves to go out but being almost 15 years old I don't want to overexercise her and wear her out (or me) so we don't go too far but it is enough for both of us to get some decent exercise. In the afternoon it is the ball in the...

    Cottee’s soft drinks

    Lime Coola was my go to if I had the money to buy it. Soft drinks were a luxury and there was "plenty of water in the tap" which meant no you can't have one. I can still taste it, it was great.

    Caught on camera: Frustrated customer exposes Australia Post's 'locked gate' excuse

    That does not sound right. My husband also works for Australia Post part time sorting mail and parcels. He works from anywhere between midnight and 8am getting proper breaks and getting paid extra if he needs to stay longer at busy times. He gets paid extra for the graveyard shift which...

    Arnotts

    Arnotts biscuits have changed - alot. The taste is not the same, it is now salty and tastes funny. Tim Tams - gone from 11 -9 in a pack. Some have only 7. The shortbread with macadamia was a beautiful bikky once with a cuppa but has disappeared long ago. Its hard to find a decent packet of...

    Stinky situation: Neighbourhood on high alert as ‘poo-petrator’ strikes again

    I hope he is not an Australian, what a dirty filthy scumbag. Do something : trace the number plate to the owner to see if this is the offender, if it is them they can clean it up. He should also be fined for such a act. If he's done this before without getting caught, he will do it again. I hope...

    Small businesses face uphill battle against Meta as hacked social media accounts increase

    I am so glad I never signed up to either of these things. Tripadvisor was enough for me to realise you don't have control once you sign up - I could never contact them to delete my account. The old saying goes, be careful what you sign up for is still true today.
