    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    Big deal. So what?:rolleyes: They've got 2,230 stores, but some sad person had to pick on this one. What were the displays like in the other 2,229? And how many people actually bought any of this Chinese made "genuine" Australian souvenirs after making such a big fuss about it?:rolleyes:

    Why this British expat is questioning Australia’s parking laws after a $272 fine

    I didn't know anything about this when I first came here. I used to go to my sons road, turn round at the cul de sac part and parked outside his house with the driver door next to the kerb, and facing the way I wanted to go out of the road. Also done it at many places where I used to park...

    Warning: What an Aussie found at the ATM could affect your next transaction
