    'Forced shakedown' at Woolworths checkout has shoppers outraged

    I am with you. Service has gone rotten. Went to deli for sliced meat, and got told that they don’t slice meat until 9.00am. Pathetic customer service. Done with Woollies for good, and from now on, it’s IGA or Coles. It’s a disgrace. To top it off, I might get $10 off with rewards dollars once a...

    Outrageous or justified? See why one sibling received a house while the other fumes with anger

    Legally, she can’t have it. Both siblings are entitled to half. The courts would see it that way, as it’s unfair. If contested, she would get half. True.

As a result, I have had a lifetime of eating disorders. I am 64, and still freak out about weight. We are all controlled by genes, and some are blessed...
