    Tinned beetroot prices soar to $65 as shortage persists

    People attempting to sell beetroot on eBay for that price should be prosecuted as far as I'm concerned. That is just criminal. And if there is anyone out there prepared to pay that, then they are idiots. I buy fresh and pickle it myself. It tastes so much better than the tinned stuff...

    Don't say this word if you're in Australia: 'I thought that was fine'

    I've lived here the majority of my life and that's the first time I've heard of champ being a derogatory or offensive word. I think people are getting to be a bit 'precious' in my eyes and take offence at everything. It's getting to the stage where it would be best if we just don't speak at...

    Gold Mugs

    We emigrated back in 1965 and they were the very first mugs that mum and dad bought when they bought the house. When dad passed back in 2013, and we were cleaning out his things, we came across a couple of them after all this time. My sister took them both, wish I'd asked for one now. Guess...

    'Very Aussie' grocery item drives expat wild: ‘I wouldn't want to eat anything differently’

    Love beetroot, but not tinned. I buy fresh and boil and pickle myself. So much tastier.

    Expat is baffled by something at servos: ‘It's a bit annoying’

    There are a few servos that have prepaid in Perth but I don't like using them anyway. Costco are open good hours but you need to be a member to use their fuel pumps. If you sign up and download certain servo's apps, you can pay from your phone and don't have to go into the shop. Maybe she...

    Valentine's 'Nostalgia Competition' - Share your memories of love and you could win $100

    I started seeing my fella when I was 3 months shy of my 17th birthday. We kept it quiet as my fella was 31 and didn't think everyone would understand. We had known each other for a few years and I knew I was attracted to him even then. We told my dad and he didn't take too kindly to the age...
