    Shopper disappointed over gruesome discovery on Woolworths roast chicken: ‘I’m so put off chicken’

    Well, I guess maggots are edible, live maggots are fresh, and Wokeworths claims to be the fresh food people, so they are living up to their claims then. Give me Coles or Aldi any day.

    'What is wrong with Coles?': Shopper complains about supermarket prices after buying essentials

    No one forced her to shop at Coles. Prices are marked, so dont buy if you dont agree with them. If a takeaway meal is cheaper then do that!! Save money and vote with your feet rather than decide to buy stuff then whinge to the world about it.

    Scam phone call

    Concentrating on that mobile number is a mistake. Number spoofing will generate a different number every time. And, how many "banks" will call you from a mobile number? NEVER act on any supposed official unsolicited call from any bank or Govt institution, and never call back on any number the...

    Shocking turbulence on Emirates flight leaves ex-politician with serious injuries

    It's time airlines made it a condition that seatbelts must be worn when seated (or lying). It should also be a condition agreed to at ticket sale. I fly a lot and always keep my belt on. It is in no way constricting or inconvenient and I'm 6' 4".

    Pizza perils: Diner’s unique dietary demands bring tears to staff and leave chef in a pickle

    Shocking behaviour: See what this postie did to an unsuspecting man's lawn!

    It's not his property, it's the council verge. The postman is within his rights. They cannot park up, hop off and walk to every letterbox. Yes. It leaves marks after rain softens the ground but if that's the worst of your problems, your lucky. It happens at my place too...but I don't become a...
