I will tip and generously, for good service by the staff either by adding it onto the space provided when I receive the bill, or else I will put cash into the staff tips jar. However I refuse to pay extra for shoddy, slack or too casual service, As a waitress in the UK back in the 60s, I relied...

Oh my Goodness! That is exactly what my very elderly mother replied when she had her licence cut up after failing her test ordered by our doctor to prove she was now incapable. As I got in the driver's seat to take her home she asked me what I was doing. "Mum you no longer have a licence and so...

Love it!!

My daughter sent important documents to me from France. They took 8 days to get from Provence in Southern France to Perth and then took THREE WEEKS to get to Sydney and another three days to reach me in Queensland! I was able to track the package all the way but could not understand why they...

Thanks for the warning. I don't use this brand but it's always good to know of recalls.

Don't believe everything your mother told you. (I wish someone had told me this when I was younger and believed everything she said.)

Not only have we had one of our beloved dogs die of tick bite despite being vaccinated, we almost lost our daughter who became paralysed and infected following a tick bite. She was put in an induced coma and her swollen body packed in ice for a police escorted ambulance journey from Gympie...

We had a two night stop-over in Hong Kong and I paid for a room with a window. Yes it did indeed have a window. We were on the 5th floor and our window showed us the blank concrete wall of the building next door. The window didn't open or we could have put out a hand and touched the 'view'.

How much water?? It gets mentioned as put in pot with the sauce but not the quantity.

It is a great idea for us oldies who find it difficult carrying a loaded basket but who also have trouble reaching in and out of big trolleys at the checkout.

Sending prayers for a full recovery to a beautiful person.

I did not receive this offer so could not take advantage of it. Nor do my two nearest Coles have the big markdowns on closing time as you report others do.

Just how many more customers does Woolworths believe it will get with yet another supermarket just 5 minutes away from another? As a member of the Queensland Koala Crusaders I must speak out as a Voice for the Koala. We are fighting a constant battle to preserve natural movement corridors for...

I am almost 79 and I never leave the house without some make-up even if it is only concealer under my eyes, brushing on some light tan base, mascara and lipstick. You never know who you might meet and if I look good, I feel good. If I am going out for dinner, to a function or one of my charity...

What exactly is 'dish soap'?

No matter how many bags I take (and I take loads) and request they don't put too much in each bag (due to my lung problems and recovering from a fractured shoulder), I still get bags so heavy I cannot lift them and often the cashier is not happy at having to repack some of them so I can manage...

I have a supply of plastic plates, bowls, cups, glasses etc, which I use on picnics, BBQs and family parties. It is better to use these each time than using glassware which could be dangerous if smashed or cracked. China plates etc. are far too heavy to carry especially as I am elderly, have had...

I shop once a fortnight at Coles, my preferred supermarket for around 50 years since I arrived in Australia. My local staff know me, feel like welcoming friends unlike Woolworths where I was spoken to very rudely because my feet were not behind the line at the checkout queue. I look through the...
