I remember the one that opened in Miranda when I was young. Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC today) was a special treat for us now and then, but the line up was always very long with only once cash register operating, the operator over a microphone to the back calling out the order, and it would...

This is a great idea. Maybe a weekly regular thing to meet the people behind the scenes. Thank you for letting us get to know you Sethia, I love reading other peoples' stories.

We have such a reliance on lithium batteries today - vacuum cleaners, power tools, computers, phones and other technology and household appliances. They all need charging constantly. We make sure that we buy quality branded goods, but worry is that enough? You just never know when one might fail...

We had an elderly dog (Pomeranian) who had terrible allergies - dust, pollens making his eyes water and his nose run continuously. The allergy medication that he was on worked only to a small extent. We bought an air purifier for the house. The difference that it made for him was huge. His...

What a great idea. We like farmers markets as we get to know the people behind the goods - and usually fresh and better quality.

Great idea!! Buli Pass is difficult at night and this has made such an improvement to be able to see the road and the bends. Only wish that people would stick to the speed limit though and not treat it like a racetrack.

Years ago we were told that gas was the way to go. When we built our home some years ago we had no choice but to have gas hot water, heating and cooking. Now we are told that electric is the way to go. We have just replaced our dual stove and oven. We did look at changing to induction cooktop to...

My grand parents loo was down the back yard. It was a little shed like appearance was nicely painted and decorated always with fresh flowers. It was not a flush loo but a can that was collected by the can man regularly. It was not until the late 1960s that it was replaced with a modern loo - one...

I have gone through three tyres within three weeks. Three times unavoidable potholes. These were on local council roads. But I have noticed that the roads are getting worse especially the M5 in various parts from Campbelltown to King Georges Road, which you would expect to be a good road as it...

I have always liked the Rooster Chicken Roll and still have on occasions, but they don't taste as good as they used to and they are not as warm.

My Mum had a few Glomesh items that she would take for events when going out. They were all the rage.

We do not eat beef that often but will look only for the Australian beef rather than imported. We do the same with our fish and fruit and vegetables, we buy Australian as much as possible. Making sure the labelling is visible and correct will be a necessity.

It is well and good to open the new centres which is a step in the right direction, but where will the doctors and other medical professionals come from to man these centres with a shortage of staff that has been around for some time. This issue needs also to be addressed with training of new...

We have a 'very beige' home but over the years we have added little pops of colour, and I must admit we have used greens which has added a subtle and pleasant contrasting colour without being too much. I am not usually a green person, but it has grown on me. The way to redecorate simple is to...

Part of our problem in manufacturing is that we do not exploit workers in absolutely poor conditions with little to no pay to create cheap products - there are regulations. Unfortunately, this is not the same overseas where goods are produced by cheap labour with appalling working conditions...

Welcome to the new world of today. No respect for anyone else except for the narrow minded, ill informed self. How shallow people have become and believe that they can say anything about anyone to get their few minutes of fame with the selfies and puckered lips - 'look at mie, look at mie' syndome.

Love Haigh's chocolates especially the 'speckles' - chocolate buttons with hundreds and thousands. My partner gets me a couple of packets every few months. My one really bad unhealthy vice!

I remember this when I was at school and the girls playing this game, which was simple to set up and kept the students moving in break times. How times have changed. Activities such as this has given time for being on screen and behind a monitor to play games.

Well said. The banks expect so much with their ridiculous methods that make access so difficult.

Totally unaware, so inappropriate. It is not comedy - disgusting!
