I probably should have, but I was mourning my son... now I ve put it behind me and decided it s not worth the stress it will cause to go through it sll again. However: I m much more careful when dealing with financial institutions in general, and of course have taken all my business away from...

me too! The name has to be in the head line so people can decide if theyvwant to read on or not... The rule for newspapers used to be: Headline, brief summary of facts in the first paragraph, further details further down... like in depth information.

When my son died I couldnt access his account, as he was 18, but he didnt leave a will (which 18 year old would, eh?) His bank was fully aware (I had informed them), even adressed a letter to his "estate", but didnt freeze the account or anything. As a student his account for free of fees, but...

I hardly ever use an ATM. too many mishaps. To withdraw cash I go shopping, pay with my card and ask for cashout at the end. No fees, and never a problem . But the other day I wanted to put cash and a cheque INTO my account. Bank was closed, so ATM it was. That s whennthe problem started: I...

I assume with foreign investors you mean those who do not live here? But what about residents who are not or not yet Australians? I ve lived here for 30 years, but as I wasnt able to get dual citizenship the first 28 years I was a "foreigner". Not that I was rich! I was working in community...

I hate that! First came across it in a fax from my then fiance (now ex husband) more than 30 years ago and tried to correct him. As English is my second language (but I used to work as a translator at that time!) I was told he knew better. He had supposedly asked a teacher who told him he was...

Maybe I grew up in a different reality, in a country where people learn to be responsible and take the consequences of their actions, instead of constantly blaming others ... "the council should have put a sign up here, not 2 m away where I couldnt see it" is one of my favourites. Then jumping...

I think if ALL dog owners were responsible and doing the right thing (socialise their dogs, train them PROPERLY, clean up after them, etc) we woukd need much less rules (and fines). I m a pet lover, have a dog, am pet sitting all kinds of dogs, and can only say: the dogs as such woukd not be a...

This is about an extremely high surcharge on a card purchase. so why are we talking about someone buying a 4 mio property? Did he pay via tap and go and was charged an extra 16%? ($640000!!)

I was just about to write something similar. Actually, when I learned to drive we were told to accelerate when overtaking another vehicle so we woukd be back in the proper lane asap! I think it s a lot safer to speed for say 2 minutes than to try and get past another vehicle for 30 minutes...

exactly! easypeasy. it s just an excuse to not be seen shopping at Aldi. But I suppose she can afford to pay more...

I got one today ... again! But had to laugh when I looked at the sender's email: xam@google sounds almost like scam....

Memory loss after a head trauma is quite common, so I hope the media wont turn it into some kind of dementia! As for Princess anne: I hope she gets the rest she needs and deserves and makes a full recovery! She has been working hard amongst very stressful times (death of her mother, cancer of...

Coles and Woolies offer insurances (have done for years), so why not Aldi? I will def check it out when my current policies reach their end...

My thought exactly! brainwashed by media that everything Aldi is bad and profits go to Germany (not true either!)

Being originally from Europe where you can take your dogs almost everywhere (shops, restaurants, public transport) it always surprises me how much of a problem they seem to be here. I dont think more people get bitten or contract illnesses in Europe than they do here, but maybe they behave...

Dont know about Thailand but I use my bankcard at atms in Europe... or there are cards that allow you to take out money from atms without even charging a fee... it s safer than cash, too!

Nope, you usually get 1 point per $ spent. so to get 2000 points you have to spend $2000. 2000 points get you $10 off, so she s right, unfortunately: you have to spend $2000 to get $10 off...
