    Homegrown women's brand faces collapse after decades of service. Will your favourite footwear vanish soon?

    I have heard of Wittner, but out of my price range!! we have just lost our only shoe shop in our town, now we only have shoes from BigW or Target, who mainly cater for the younger generation!!! It will most probably be due to high rents in our shopping centre, so many shops have closed down.

    This Adelaide bride's wedding day turned into a nightmare! See what happened

    The only mishap at our wedding was just after our best man passed the rings over, he fainted!! Fell flat on his face. He did reappear for the photos. however at his own wedding he fainted twice, and ended up having to sit down for the rest of his vows. One very nervous best man/groom.
