I’ve been saying they should build prefab houses for years. I remember near where I lived as a child there were prefab houses, built as temporary accommodation after the war but were still going strong many years later. People had them looking lovely. Being able to build them so quickly would...

I use my card and on line banking for just about everything but I still think we need the cash option. I pay the kids next door a dollar a week to put out and take in the bins. They put their dollars in their money boxes - not the same when it’s in the bank. My husband needs cash for the raffles...

Your family history is so interesting. I love hearing about ancestors (mine just seem to be dirt poor who loved to drink and fight lol). We lived next door to a lovely old man not long after we bought our first house here. I was talking to him over the fence and he started telling me about his...

Thank you 🤗

My Dad wanted to come when I was a child but my Mum wouldn’t leave her Mum. My sister and family moved here in 1981. My Dad was always looking forward to visiting but unfortunately he died before making the trip, such a shame as the flights were booked and everything. Mum emigrated with us. I...

I tell people I was born in the wrong place. It felt like home here as soon as I got off the plane, and that was just on holiday! i cried all the way back to the UK and when I saw the sign at the airport “Welcome to Manchester” I said to my husband “I don’t want to be here”. We applied to...

I do t know of him but he sounds like a good man who many will miss RIP

We have lovely neighbours, next door and across the road. Others in the street are pleasent too but mostly people on our estate keep to themselves. Think it’s the way it is these days. People work long hours then they drive home straight into their garages and straight into the house. I walk my...

I love this story - A treat to hear a positive story about a postie instead of the usual complaints. My husband used to work in a local supermarket. He and another employee were responsible for home deliveries. Both of them ended up doing much more than deliver groceries. My husband would chop...

That surprises me. Like I say I love my sketchers and my podiatrist is happy for me to wear them but his chosen brand is Birkenstock, which I have a couple of pairs of, they are expensive but worth the money I recon. I’ve seen knock off Sketchers for sale on Face Book. I don’t know how they get...

Absolutely. There are many refugees that embrace their chance of a new life but there are some who just can’t seem to understand they don’t need to live with knives and violence. They just spoil things for everyone because these are the refugees that get them all a bad name. If they cant put...

Of course he’s playing the mental health card. He will get off by agreeing to counciling and a short hospital stay. So wrong

It’s so out of control in Victoria. There are no consequences for these young offenders. It must be so frustrating for the police who are doing their job in catching these thugs and then they are let out the same day and are back causing trouble by tea time! The Allen government has a lot to...

I think is ridiculous that she’s only serving six months of her sentence in prison. No doubt she will be thinking up other scams to gain attention and money for when she gets out. People like her don’t just give up.

In reply to the first line of the article - I have never found myself at the self checkout. Well not willingly anyway. When I have been forced to use it I have asked for someone to serve me. Only once have I been refused - in a KMart in Sydney. If I hadn’t needed the items right then I would...

I haven’t had a problem with getting my groceries delivered. All fruit, veg, milk and meat have all been perfect. I was actually in store at the side of one of the staff picking an order a couple of weeks back, and she definitely took the time to pick the best of the veggies. I usually go in...

I used to like those too. They have made a comeback here and there but by a different company. I don’t think they took off unfortunately. I’m not sure if they still available atm, it’s a bit hit and miss I think

I had never heard of a pen licence till my grandkids were at school. My boys never had one when they were at school.

Why judge people? Maybe look in your own back yard for grizzly. If people want to order food then it’s their business, this affects you how? They are not using your money are they? Why so nasty?

I used to order Uber eats when I worked in Disability. The person I was supporting and myself would track where our food was, she really enjoyed that, following his car on the map. One day it said it had arrived but no knock at the door. I went outside only to see the lady in the house next door...
