Thank you for the information. In my first post, I noted that the firemen attending near my friend's house went off at her for as they said: 'covering the (embedded) hydrant up'. Granted, the situation was urgent with a fire burning in the property opposite. I'll tell my friend to make calls...

Thanks for that. Are you in Brisbane? I'll get my friend to call Logan Council/Fire and Rescue to ask if there is a maintenance routine in her area.

Do you mean clean the grass growing over the embedded hydrants? Hasn't happened at Park Ridge Queensland (Brisbane suburb) in 3 years.

Opinions are fine. Everybody has them 😁.

TYSM 😁.

No it did not 😊. Odd that you should assume that.

I'd say the ad is effective. It shows how anonymity via social media platforms has allowed latent egomaniacs to flourish. From my understanding, the SDC Forum has been created to: 1. provide news stories; and 2. remind readers of topical issues and rules/regulations and the like; and 3...

I share your thoughts.

They could still sell the buns, just without the cross.

The religious symbol is the cross. Don't have the cross. Solved.

I agree with what you're saying but the way the rule is written doesn't. Please see attached.

I agree with you. Peak hours on roundabouts where I live are very busy. Several cars are entering at each point and driving fast. In a standard intersection/roundabout (💢), there is no way you'd be able to move forward/enter the roundabout if you waited for every car that has entered...

Thank you. I had a recent experience with a regular commenter who deemed it appropriate to call me Karen. This person persisted even after I noted my discomfort with the conduct (and explained this was my late mother's name).

Someone on the SDC forum called me a Karen.

A fire started in a house opposite my friend's home a few weeks ago. Firemen arrived and started frantically removing grass on the nature strip in front of her home and located the hydrant. To be fair, there was a yellow triangle painted on the road but: 1. The grass growing over the top had...

Absolutely. Just print the item's name instead of requiring people to search for links that are often hard to see.

Many people aren't even aware of the existence of these hydrants. Signage indicating the locations might help.

I don't do birthday parties but I've been to other people's celebrations. I have experienced money present requests over the last decade. There is even request advice available online. See a couple of examples attached.

I hear you. I just think the banks should do more. Reimbursement is good but the right way would be to prevent this unauthorised and unassisted access.

The locking up of things is typical today and the trend is widening. The thought behind the practise is that locking a thing away (for a limited time) will solve a troublesome issue. Re bladed items, I understand the principle that is aimed at preventing a minority criminal group from wreaking...
