    You're not imagining it! Uncover the reason why Pringles have shrunk

    There's only one answer. DON'T BUY! The manufacturers excuse is pathetic. The public didn't ask them to move to Malasian new plant. They chose to because they'll make more profit. Just vote with your feet. I remember when I was at school in the UK and the snack shop sold Penguins and Wagon...

    Are Coles and Woolworths secretly reducing grocery sizes? Discover the truth about 'shrinkflation' in Australia

    They've brn doing it for a long, long time. Can't believe it's taken this long for people to wake up. It's precisely why the supermarkets posted obscene profits. Reduce the size of everything and up the price. Result? We're being ripped off and it should be illegal because technically the...

    Disgraced policeman Roger Rogerson relocated to prison hospital over failing health

    No sympathy whatsoever. He got his on the end, albeit, like Chris Dawson, far later than it should have been. Doubt he'll be missed. Hop Dawson will go the same way.
