For most people food like salmon and fillet steak are luxuries. Sausages used to be good quality many years ago (and didn't have wheat etc in them) as was mince. Gone are the days when people had big yards and could grow a lot of their own vegetables and have fowls for eggs.

Home Brand products are made by major manufacturers and "should" be the same as one of the main brands. Some change the ratio of ingredients though. Woolworths have probably negotiated with some of their suppliers. What a lot of people don't realize is that suppliers increase their prices, then...

In some suburbs in Adelaide there Govt. houses that have been empty for years. A coat of paint is all that is needed to make some of them liveable. I know of one that literally had a "manicured" garden that has for years had dry grass that is about a 1/3 of the height of the house. The house...

There is too many taxi drivers from overseas who can barely speak English (good luck understanding some of them). Some don't even know where some of the public hospitals are. A few years ago if you didn't know where the main hotels were you failed you license application

She's obviously a multi-millionaire. In some countries if you have got a credit card with plenty of funds in your Bank Account you cannot get any health treatment at all. I can't imagine her having health insurance in every country she visits.

Ampol should have been held responsible for the diesel spill. Imagine the toxic fumes from it. Why didn't the Council force them to do a complete clean up of it. Pity it wasn't reported to the Govt. Dept in charge of Environment Pollution. I think a special chemical might be used to clear oil...

Some hospitals in SA the first 2 hours is free. One of the reasons for parking fees is because people were parking at them and catching buses to go elsewhere (and leave there cars there for the day)..or use them if they were shopping nearby. It used to be a common practise I have a relative who...

Coles products are made and / or packaged by a major manufacturer / packaging company, NOT Coles. This should have been returned to Coles - not "broadcasted" unless Coles refused to taken action. It's time for SDC to use some discretion and request proof that service has been denied

I wonder if it was still in its original wrapping or had been put in another freezer bag. I wouldn't have expected the neck bone etc to be in it anyway. I would have taken it back.....or was the neck bone packed underneath where it wasn't visible?

Many businesses have enough security cameras installed that they don't need to follow people around like that. At Bunnings they have "open" trolleys so they have no excuse. If you are taking items back into a store it is wise to show a staff member before taking them into the main part of the store.

With deductions farmers get less than 50% of the gross value of their crops. Out of that they still have to py cartage to the silos, fuel and maintenance for their farm equipment (even if they do their own maintenance work - even good second parts are very expensive and some definitely use...

In some states you can ask the school to ban a person from entering school grounds or hanging around it. Surely the landlord could have changed the locks. I know of a case where Police issued a restraining order. When the guy pleaded guilty they didn't keep the restraining order in force. In...

Has the origin of the latest outbreak been traced. Unfortunately some diseases have re-appeared via visitors or new migrants from overseas.

Patients can fail to wake up after heart by-pass operations too. It used to be considered extremely high risk surgery. Now it is commonly used. I know a guy who had to have cpr during minor knee surgery many years ago. He had no history of heart problems

According to my financial planner super took a nose dive but is gradually gaining value again.

They should make this national, not just select local councils. I know somebody who has a double driveway that was constantly blocked cars. More than one Dr. appt had to be cancelled at different times. Eventually the council agreed to paint the road, but painted 1/2 across the person's property...

I've discovered The Reject Shop sells / was selling Cadbury Drinking Chocolate (same container and "best use by" cheaper than the supermarkets. When I got some it was over $1.00 per tin.

A lot of drivers don't make legal distance when pass another vehicle. Also we had a situation where when we slowed down to keep the legal distance the car in front of us kept suddenly slowing down in front of us without warning. We were on a country road and had a huge line of cars behind us.

Taxis tend to encourage card option. They charge a fairly high %

A lot of clothes is treated with a substance to prevent creasing in transit. e.g. clothing like t-shirts and skivvies are never creased. Some clothing is labelled wash before wearing or something similar. Some laundry detergents can cause rashes on sensitive skin. Some hand sterilizers such as...
