    Laminex tables

    My grandmother had the green kitchen set, it had a shiny metal border around the table with the green patterned top. Why can't someone make them like that again, they were so strong and sturdy and well made. Just to find a set second hand would be a mission today.

    Why was this man's custom licence plate recalled?

    When we lived in WA we had to change our cars numberplates over to WA plates. For years and years we drove around with the front number (forget exact number but example) ABC 123 and the back plate was ABC 124! Nover ever realised til we sold the car and someone pointed out the error, I wonder...

    Why was this man's custom licence plate recalled?

    Someone already was issued that plate so he couldn't have one the same. The 8 looked like a B to me and I didn't get it til they said it was an 8 The plates are not offensive, the department had already issued the same plate earlier and had not realised that the second order was a duplicate...

    Cuisenaire rods

    I remember these, I had just changed schools and the new school had these Cuisonaire Rods for learning maths. I loved them as they were such pretty colours and they helped me to learn maths. We also had the maths charts and we would all say the "times table" together and at the end the teacher...

    Hand beater

    I had one and used it all the time, the top handle was made of green wood and the turning handle matched. I don't know what happened to it, it was a solid piece of machinery and I should have kept it and don't know where it went. Hang onto it as it would nearly be an antique by now!

    Mum overlooks detail in ALDI purchase: ‘I didn’t realise it’

    There's no way I'd pay $40 for a king single fitted sheet with 2 pillowcases and no top sheet and only 300 thread count from Aldis or anywhere else. The packaging is correct but you do have to read it. You do have to be careful these days as even sheets aren't as good as they once were. The...

    Coles branch refuses to dispense cash to customers—find out why!

    There seems to be a pattern in the corporate world that the CEO'S quit when the shite starts to hit the fan. They haven't got the guts to face the music once the game is over and it all starts to unravel for them, they run away with their retirement packages hoping someone else will clean up...

    Leaked emails expose how supermarkets profit more while customers ‘get screwed’

    I agree, but the trouble is these 2 think they are above the law and basically untouchable - the government enquiry will be interesting. I don't shop at either of them - it just annoys me that they have the gall to carry on business as they do, the greed is something I have trouble comprehending.

    Yes you are correct and it won't stop. All one can do is shop elsewhere if possible and boycott the both of them permanently. People power is probably the only thing we have left.
