I gave my parents $40.00 board money, I kept $10.00 a week for my train and bus fare. Whatever was left was mine. My take home pay in 1977 without any overtime was $98.00. I...

    My strategy for scammers is long term pain and suffering, this may give them an indication of pain and suffering they have inflicted upon their victims.

    Aussie worker loses $160,000 on one investment scheme targeting mining industry workers

    If it sounds too good to be true, then sadly it usually is. If you wish to invest in gold and silver, or platinum then buy gold, silver or platinum coins or ingots from reputable dealers. The provenance and low mintage of some coins and ingots is a long-term financial strategy. However, the...

    Local bank closure signals shift in banking services and community connections

    My thoughts exactly I do not rust technology and when things go wrong the banks accuse us of the mistakes. Suggesting it is all our fault and not the technology.

    Local bank closure signals shift in banking services and community connections

    Very sad for everyone involved. So much for so called "Progress". When "Progress" negatively affects communities, then you must measure the pros and cons of so-called "progress".

    You Could Lose Your License Without Even Driving – Are You Breaking This Obscure Road Rule?

    I would assume not being allowed to ride an e-scooter on public roads or paths has something to do with the fact that privately owned e-scooters are less likely to be registered and insured. I agree if it is good enough for motorcycle riders to register their bikes then it is good enough for...

    Shopper's shocking discovery: Disgusting find in delivery sparks outrage and disbelief

    There are no images of the said "Worms" I would suggest that the "Worms" were probable newly hatched maggots and not "worms". Flies can often get into food packaging and lay their eggs on the food. The flies fly away leaving their eggs on the food all without the person packing the food's...
