For three years since I moved here I haven't been able to have a decent shower because the water would get uncomfortably hot so I'd risk slipping when I jumped away. Also I was getting hot, and I do mean hot, scalding hot, from all the cold. After a mix of eight gas and normal plumbers, it...

Gandhi said, You can tell a country's humanity by the way the treat their elderly.' Looks like Australia is failing big time I'm on level 2 HCP and prices for services have gone up recently. One has to do a balancing act to get some of the bigger things you need by not having too many smaller...

Happy birthday, and well done to reach 96. Looking to see your birthday post next year.

I guess you're talking about yourself with your last sentence. This is my last post on the subject, a person who refuses to listen/ read/ comprehend is a total waste of one's time.

What don't you get about the crown has no power? They are figure heads, it's the government of the day that makes decisions. It's the government in London who says Scotland can't hold a referendum about ceceding, and they have wanted to become fully independent for decades but are not allowed...

It states that she had no power.

The British government does everything in the name of the king or Queen but that does not mean they actually have a say. They sign what's put in front of them, even the speeches to parliament. If you watched the expressions on the queen's face when reading some of these speeches you would know...

So long as you don't mind others treading on yours.

Three times I have experienced "the other side". The first when very ill at three years of age, I remember being in a place that felt so calm and walked toward a small raised area happily but before I reached it was told to return. When I did my, family around the bed, were all weeping. I was...

You may think so, but he did actually give age pensioners a boost, and more than once. His problem was he tried to do everything himself, been there done that, so those under him got shirty instead of approaching him sensibly and explaining in a non-aggresive manner that they were feeling left...

The only boost is for politicians - they think. We know better. No way can $4.60 per fortnight be called a boost. They obviously think we are stupid, or the public is, perhaps they are because I heard one man tell another that what we pensioners get per fortnight, was weekly. I relieved them of...

It is not a quarterly rise, it's twice yearly. No wonder people keep thinking we get heaps when it's a pittance. The last time we get out a decent rise was when Rudd was PM. The Covid handouts cannot be counted because use it was across the board.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it.

Oh. My God. That is so cruel, no wonder you were in tears. My daughter had a dreadful time when her 4 month old son died from Sid's after we told them they claimed she was claiming benefit for a "daughter" she did not have. Many, many years ago I did a stint with Social Security, we had...

How many on the single pension have assets of $62,000+ left? When pensioners downsize the sell what they can and that is what is worth $$, leaving themselves with what they couldn't sell to just had to get rid of. Anything the still have has lost value unless it's small things that keep their...
