    Scared of the asbestos health threat? Expert shares advice on how to stay safe

    @SDC Staff, I BEG you, please remember your target market and stop using hyperbolic, hysterical language in your headers. Using this article as an example: The dot point in the email screams world disaster—The End is Nigh: HEALTH ALERT: Millions are at risk as this hazardous threat worsens...

    ‘Customer service is dead’: New Coles self-checkout policy infuriates shopper

    And yet this problem is so easy to fix. Get rid of the self-checkouts and bring back human cashiers to scan and pack our shopping.

    Find out the virus that increases one’s risk of developing dementia!

    Oh. My. Word. I'm doomed. Have suffered from (there's no other suitable expression for it) cold sores since around the time I went to school. And no, I wasn't kissing any boys. Not that I remember anyway. Those were the Dark Ages when no ointment was available to stop the bubbling virus in...

    Urgent: Asbestos spreads in schools and ALDI supermarket

    Thank you for bringing some perspective to this latest frenzy! @Joydie ! One would swear everyone will get Mesothelioma cancer just by walking through a park where contaminated mulch has been found. Yet another example of mass hysteria brought about by our so-called leaders.

    Is your Pre Paid Funeral Really Paid

    @SDC Staff, I'd really appreciate it if you could share information about funeral options and costs. This is far more relevant to me (and probably all your readers) than the latest amazing fantabulous offering from Kmart.

    Health crises hit Royals: Princess of Wales faces setback during recovery

    Huh? Yes, Kate's having some difficulties, but her status and wealth remove most of the stresses and obstacles that 'normal' women experience. There are millions of women in the world who cope with health battles (their own and that of ageing parents), while going off to work every day—often...

    New book reveals shocking insider claims about King Charles!

    Well, @SDC Staff , this was a good exercise in determining what gets your readers responding. No more obsessions with KMart junk, please—send us the so-called taboo subjects: sex, politics and religion, all of which are relevant when talking about monarchies. I haven't had such a good laugh in...

    Major changes at Woolworths spark fury—Here’s how your local deli counter might be affected!

    The same thing has just happened in our small rural town where the IGA is our only supermarket. Hopefully this will push shoppers to support the two butchers whose products have been much better all along...

    Ask Joy: Learning to Live with Anxiety

    Thank you so much for this @Joy Straw . I am the partner of someone living with anxiety. Someone for whom medications did not work (severe side effects) and who had always refused to go to therapy. I try to stay grounded and validate his feelings, but it's bl**dy hard!

    Major trolley issue prompts Woolworths to issue a new statement

    Of course not everyone does it but I've definitely seen it—the empty containers are then left on a shelf in the aisle where the kid finished the snack.

    Overseas supermarkets ditched self-checkouts—should Coles, Woolworths, and ALDI follow suit?

    Quote from the article: Booths supermarket announced last week that it will remove self-serve checkouts in most stores due to customer feedback citing self-checkouts were ‘unreliable’ and ‘impersonal’. Too hilarious! Since when does Big Business care about the customer? Nope, all it tells me is...

    You won’t believe what this shopper did at Woolworths’ self-checkout: ‘Now I’ve seen it all!’

    Free water bottles? In other words, empty bottles without water? How is that a 'heat relief measure'? We do regular house-and-petsitting, and my experience of a diverse range of households is that water bottles are the new Tupperware. Almost every kitchen has water bottles tumbling from shelves...
