    ‘Cash only’: Shoppers flee Coles after reading sign

    I think if you remove the option of paying in cash from the system, you risk losing some of the simple things in life. The garage sales, street stalls, community markets, opportunity shops, etc. Yes, I realise that people CAN still pay by 'mating' their phone with somebody elses, but a huge % of...

    It's important to realise that McDonalds soft-serve includes a range of ingredients, many of which are produced at great expense in laboratory kitchens, PLUS dairy farmers actually want to make a living as well, for some reason! McDonalds soft-serve ingredients include the usual...
