I never take bags out of the car boot and keep on refusing to buy some at the check out. I sort and fill them from the trolley. If shopping without the car I always have a folded bag with me. I cannot see the point of having untrained checkout people shoving things willy nilly in my bags

I started work in 1962 and never ever had my salary paid in cash, always to a bank account, including when arriving from France in Sydney in1965. But my husband working for Australians had a "pay packet" , it amused us no end that he was not allowed to have his salary transferred to a bank...

well they just turned up in North Queensland Townsville, a couple of months ago. i dont need to bring stuff up north. I used to send a picture and most of the time answer was yes. I\ I understand those people in Tasmania (particularly ex-mainland who know what they are missing)

We always did that when I was a child, our main meal at luchtime : - in summer a salad (tomatoes, cucumber etc) - in winter a vegetable soup = then main vegetables plus pasta or potatoes or rice - then meat, - then cheese, - then some green salad - to finish the meal a fruit not everything...
