    Major retailers face possible breakups following price gouging allegations

    Very interesting article almost 74 years ago bar 3 days. I know I'm being facetious, but the prices have changed quite a bit! Pork seems to have been a luxury meat back then. Butchers were also critical about the continued control of meat prices, citing meat available to them for sale at the...

    Major retailers face possible breakups following price gouging allegations

    Same point made by Energy people, just called cost of supply. I feel the pain of energy increases as well, so understand yours. With energy, Howard and others did not look to the future when giving our resources away unlike other governments who secured citizens future regarding resources. At...

    Major retailers face possible breakups following price gouging allegations

    Sure, everyone has felt the impact of rising prices. All the different political ways of fixing the issue reminds me of the different political ways of fixing the housing crisis yet there are 10 reasons why it can't be fixed, but this pricing issue can be. All other countries that introduced...

    PayPal scam.

    No possum is going to sneak past eagle eyes here. No chance in getting to munch on the snow-peas or apples in the patch!

    PayPal scam.

    In the context of not knowing precisely what has transpired in this transaction, I think it is at least a little re-assuring to know that it never made it through Paypals security as noted by the person who put the post up. As they contacted the client ("I was alerted by PayPal of suspicious...

    PayPal scam.

    Initial logic thought is spot on Ebby. It's what I thought as well, but just to be certain I looked into it a bit further. This is what I uncovered that may help your understanding of the process of how Paypal makes money. PayPal primarily...

    PayPal scam.

    I don't think he lost any money. With little detail provided, it seems PayPal alerted him to an issue with his Bank plastic card account. The card was cancelled as a consequence. How all it all happened is anyone's guess, but he is suggesting PayPal is at fault somehow. It's hard to string...

    PayPal scam.

    For almost 2 decades I have used PayPal for its security. Initially and it remains now, that security comfort was because I did not have to use my credit card details at multiple online stores. PayPal was the gateway that hid all my data. Doesn't mean it's 100% safe, just a whole lot safer. The...

    Hospitals on high alert as influenza cases continue to surge

    Struth, I'm in. I'll drop down a couple of shekels on this one. Bit easier than the asx atm I reckon. 'Pontificating, is it?' said Yoda, 'was that to be the spiritual forerunner of mansplaining'. Maybe it's more like a dog with a bone. Who knows. A challenge in response is it? Oh, but where...

    Hospitals on high alert as influenza cases continue to surge

    Me. This is what I found when researching the effectiveness of masks. The first two dot points relate to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The 3rd dot point is from the Cochrane Review and has a different finding from the CDC, but the British non profit finding was based on a...

    Hospitals on high alert as influenza cases continue to surge

    I know this is an important topic and I will have something to say about researching masks in the next post. And there it is. Another eye-catching quote from the Pomgolian logic speaker. Colourful, etched language and yet cutting at the same time. I think there is truth to that suggestion of...

    Hospitals on high alert as influenza cases continue to surge

    Reading the more colourful context takes us back to an earlier time. Made me think about todays world. There are enough bigots around that give pause to the notion we have indeed become more civilised. Where facts and science based evidence can be Trumpatised into a rethink by others I would...

    Hospitals on high alert as influenza cases continue to surge

    The first bit is easy to understand. With the second, you surely have piqued my interest. The tattooist?? Shakespeare? Really curious as to how that is linked to post comments.

    Hospitals on high alert as influenza cases continue to surge

    Thanks very much Rob44. Your posts @36,39 and this one are really appreciated and acknowledged as valuable to me. There are times when it is easy to become confused by the "utterings" of some. My temporary confusion did not extend to preventing us from having the last vaccine (RSV) recently...

    Princess Anne faces memory loss after home accident

    I don't seem to recall that happening. I could easily be wrong, but I thought It was an honour held for life, only being granted to a British monarchs eldest daughter. I think that title would be out of the reach of a commoner like Catherine. It is possible the next Princess Royal will be...
