I'd have thought "She's right, mate" is the most common varient.

Not that problem but I have been ruled incompatible with CPAP machines, mainly because of excessive air leakage (probably anatomical) and an element of feeling suffocated.

It is unclear whether or when she paid the petrol bill. If not, she has only herself to blame.

Anything but broccoli or brussels sprouts! They are horribly incompatible with my taste buds....

As a South Australian, believe me the effect on family budget is negligible. OK the bottle cost is included at purchase, but you get it back if you're sensible and return containers to recycling depots.

As an experienced driver for over 60 years, I would give the same answer which I remain convinced is the correct one. What answer was given by the testing body?

I drink a mug of black unsweetened tea morning and night and am marginal type 2 diabetic. I also usually have a flat white unsweetened coffee midday or afternoon.

In my experience, that's nonsense. Maybe it's an east coast thing but not in South Australia.

I once tried haggling at Myers over a watch price, and nearly won until the salesperson jacked up and objected to my doing so: "You can't do that here!"

You have to memorise size v. price on multiple products. I would never pay $6 for chocolate (don't like milk varieties anyway). Darrell Lea when $2.75, Coles Belgian $2.30.

I shop by advertised specials only and have almost reached $100 at a single supermarket lately, with $20 to $60 in top-ups at others, and that just for two of us. Then there's petrol....

Even in Australia, I keep chocolate in the pantry - no problem.

I hate being barefoot. Apart from any other consideration, it's downright dangerous, courting possible injury, not to mention a lack of pedal control when driving. I always wear shoes, or sandals, depending on weather, with socks.

SA has had a container deposit scheme for donkey's years, so long I've no idea whether purchase prices are affected. Very effective with bottle depots all over the place. Includes cardboard containers as well as plastic and glass, but not wine bottles nowadays although they used to fetch 1c.
