    Save on your grocery bill today: Coles slashes prices on 300+ items!

    Elderly woman left in critical condition after horrific hospital attack

    I have no doubt that the offender suffered from a psychiatric episode, i.e. paranoid schizophrenia, and should not have been out in public. If this is the case, those who have willingly closed down facilities which treat people with mental illness, should be held accountable. When I was a...

    Selfish parking act sparks outrage: ‘I struggled to get into my car’

    Several days ago, I went to Newton mall, and both disabled parking spaces were taken with neither car displaying a disabled permit. There isn't anyone to report this issue to. This selfish, inconsiderate behaviour is seldom monitored. I waited until one driver returned to the car, and asked...

    Coles caught red-handed over secretly raising ‘locked’ prices: ‘Simply unacceptable’

    I saw a sign for avocados $1.50 in Coles I bought them, and some lemonade. I was charged almost $10. I queried it, then went back to the display, in very small letters at the bottom of the card, it read $1.50 each. I asked for my money back. There was an elderly woman standing beside me...

    December Competition: The Final Competition Of The Year!

    I was six years old, in war torn London in 1943. My family took a train from Mile End, in the East end of London, to the underground station, where we spent days and nights underground while London was bombed. At Christmas, a tree was put up, and I won the fairy on top of the tree, for...
