Yes, as far as using half, I bought a washing machine a month ago and was surprised to see how small the detergent container is. It definitely can only hold half of quantity that the old machine's holder took. Maybe makers are helping us lead more sustainable lives?

I drive on the M1 regularly. There are numerous drivers exceeding the posted speed limits on every trip I take. My routine is to drive to or just under the limit. Many of the overtaking drivers pass on the far right lane at speeds that make me look like I'm standing still. Some who are...

I spoke from my own time as a bank employee (a while ago). Given the regionalisation of bank services, where branch staff no longer learn about/handle or can even answer questions about many many issues that were common years ago, it makes sense that staff are no longer involved in ATM service...

True. Does anyone know when the Halloween celebrations started being Australian?

Unfortunately all landlords tend to be labelled as rich and greedy. This view is a stereotypical perception. While some may be wealthy, there are thousands of working class people who invest in property as a 'savings' mechanism for retirement. No-one sympathises when interest rates...

The moved serrated edge - Having to pull on the paper when using the serrated cutter now on the lid causes tears and waists paper. Perceived change to the paper - The idea of this product is to stop food sticking to pans. If my next roll proves to be either difficult to cut or not non-stick...

You would hope that since there's thousands of staff left out of work following branch closures and ATM removals (ATMs also require people to restock and service them). I too have waited for 20 to 40 minutes when I've made calls to banks in the last few years. Everytime I've attended a branch...

All prospective immigrants should be required to deposit funds with Australian authority to pay for health issues for the duration of their PR application journey (in the form of a bond). Eligibility for reimbursement of the 'health issues bond' money should only begin after the person becomes...

Agreed. I did not use my card for store or online transactions, only to withdraw at a bank ATM. Someone still was able to make 6 or 7 purchases from YOUFOODZ a company I'd never bought anything from.

I think the alarm bells should go off when the cost seems too good to be true. The last time we had a locksmith come to my workplace was 2004, when my colleague locked her keys in one of the offices. The locksmith who attended did a proper job and from memory charged $220. I'd expect that cost...

I won't comment on government scrutiny except to say that monitoring will definitely be possible. My experience is with banks/lenders that have historically wanted to know that funds loaned were going to frugal minded borrowers who would likely repay in accord with the lender's terms and...

Yes, banks are behind the push towards a cashless society. All banks went through the last 2+ decades promoting online and other non branch/ATM options. Banks imposed branch use fees and monthly transaction limits to hit customers in the hip pocket. They converted to a user pays system...

Apologies, I may not have been clear earlier. Various third parties people may deal with including prospective employers, JPs and solicitors ask for identification docs when providing services. They keep copies of these items. They of course are copies and not originals but do often contain...

Good when you've got possession of paperwork but this dumping was by a third party.

You have a good routine but this dumping was by a third party.

Addiction from long term heroin use that began at age 16. Mental illness now? Maybe, but we humans have to take responsibility for the choices we make that lead to negative situations.

The conversion of banking from personal branch attendance to online has been orchestrated by banks. Having done so, all of these organisations have a duty of care to bulletproof their systems. If banks are unable to do this, they: 1. Should offer those who seek it, personal banking via a...

Looked live/real to me 😃.

I just read and listened to a review of a similar product sold by Amazon. Less anxious now. The video is on YouTube:

This comment (attached) worried me:
