    The New ‘ADVANCED’ Woolworths Supermarket That Has Everyone Talking

    67 years ago when I was a cadet in the Merchant Navy we used to sail into the port of St John's, New Brunswick at the top of the Bay of Fundy in Canada where the tides can rise and fall 30 ft per day. That's beside the point. There was a store in the town which we would now call a supermarket...

    Coles supermarket addresses ‘terrible’ experience at a self-serve checkout

    The gentleman has my sympathy. So many times you have to go into the self-service 'pound' to scan items before they let you go free! There should always be a lane where you can put your goods on a belt and pay when you have loaded them into your 'borrowed or hired' trolley. If you pause to...

    A Sydney rental ad is brutally mocked online after bizarre photoshopping job: 'It looks like a video game'

    Sick! You can see all the items 'loaded' in as they look so out of place. As you say if you are going to photoshop then do it properly. The second bedroom makes me smile. Don't like sleeping in a chair. It can be most uncomfortable.

    Pet owners outraged by new local council rule – ‘This country has lost the plot’

    Quite agree. Lock them up ... but then I don't like cats and won't have them in my house or my investment property. They are by nature hunters and you can mollycoddle that instinct out of them supposedly, but it is much more important to retain the local aimal life.

    Woolworths shopper calls out 'lazy' staff over neglected trolley bay, car park, and rubbish bins: "Absolutely NO urgency at all!"

    Rubbish should go in the bin for recycling or landfill. I have a bad back which quite often lets me down when I try to retrieve something off the floor. Should I collapse in trying to alleviate the problem Ms McDonald faces what would the service staff say then. "Are you all right, sir?" if...

    Kmart faces backlash over “disgusting” bin discovery — “What a waste!”

    My wife and I collect bread from a bakery franchise every week and take it to a charity. This charity distributes it to those who are in need, either by being open for collection, or by a delivery to those who can't get out and about. The bread does not go to waste. If it or any other edible...

    Woman embarrassed by neighbour's note about her 'animal sex'

    Enjoy it wherever and whenever you can!! If your neighbours don't like it that is their problem. Maybe they are jealous because yu are obviously enjoying it. Good for you. Get to my age and it is imagination only.

    Woolworths shopper gushes over store's 'impossibly satisfying' neat aisles and perfectly stacked shelves! ⁠— “Is this the tidiest Woolworths store?”

    Looks like the night shift restocking shelves is a motivated group of people. Maybe the sender of the comment was in the store just before it opened in the norning> Yes I'm a cynic.

    Expecting mum's 'disappointed' reaction to gender reveal sparks heated debate on social media

    My ex sister-in-law was married to a gorgeous guy who was a crane driver in heavy industry 60 plus years ago in London. He was a big gentle man and my sister in law was small but not petite. They had four boys (all their dad's size!) and she said she would like a little girl so they tried...

    Punishment: gone too far, or fair enough? Internet is divided on whether it is ever okay to make your child eat from dirty dishes

    Somebody once said to me that there was no such thing as a bad child but the world was overpopulated with bad parents. This trite saying has been proven false so many times and this mother is one further attempt and this mother has done something to reunite the family. Boyo, (or whatever your...

    Lottery winner MAD because his wife wanted to give her parents a cut on the money: “I married her, not her parents!”

    Actually in Paul's letter to Timothy he says 'The love of money is the root of all evil' Money in itself is not evil. It is what we need to live in this world. If you have sufficient then the Love of money doesn't arise

    Woolworths in hot water after politician's 'no cash' post sparks fury - see what the retail giant said!

    That is correct. The operative word here being OPTIONS. Have as many card only checkouts as you want but while cash is still LEGAL tender nobody should be allowed to refuse it

    Young woman's photo edited by her Catholic school without her permission: "That's not okay"

    Totally OUT OF ORDER. A woman's body is her property and she wholly owns it and any images it creates. For a school to 'edit' it (and it is a very poor result, very poor edit indeed) for marketing reasons is an invasion of privacy and copyright and she is entitled to an apology at the very...
