    Tap-and-Go Nation: Inside Australia’s $160 Billion Cashless Boom

    If you live in an area that is prone to cyclones, flooding & terrible storms, wouldn’t you keep a well stocked emergency supplies cupboard, including ample cash to keep you going? It’s something that I always wonder about whenever I watch a news report covering a disaster, with people...

    Tap-and-Go Nation: Inside Australia’s $160 Billion Cashless Boom

    Banks removed ATM’s because very few people were using them, apparently it costs a lot of money to service an atm so it was all about profit & loss. This is also the reason branches have closed. After all banks are a business & are accountable to shareholders. No, I don’t & have never worked in...

    WANTS TO DO....

    That’s so sad Buchanfarmer. Maybe in time you might feel ready to adopt another rescue dog, I’m sure Pablo had a lovely life, once rescued by you.

    Research shows one in five drivers admit disabling car safety features

    Our car has these features & the only one I turn off is the auto stop that shuts the engine down at lights & intersections, the other features don’t bother us. It’s simply a matter of learning how your car works, and using your indicators. I think that a lot of people simply like to complain...

    Wombat, I’m so very sorry about your mum. Dementia really is a curse, but I’m sure that now she would be free of the confusion, and at peace with your dad.

    Good News You Might Have Missed

    I couldn’t agree more, kdzimm. It’s so nice to read positive stories, rather than the constant negativity that seems to surround us. Thanks Aubrey For collecting these stories.

    China’s unconventional ute draws curiosity as launch looms in Australia

    Ted got excited when he saw this, except it wouldn’t carry enough & being Chinese is a worry. He still pines for his long gone Toyota, so don’t think this would measure up, besides it wouldn’t carry enough, & would probably catch on fire in the carport. At least electric vehicles are starting...

    ‘Blue Heelers’ favourite and music legend passes away at 80

    I used to love Bobby and Laurie way back in the 60’s. I didn’t realise that Bobby was in Blue Heelers, but then I didn’t watch it. My mum loved it so I only ever saw it if I was at her house. It’s sad to hear that a lot of our favourites are departing, especially when they’re only a few years...

    Legendary rock frontman layers legacy with epic career curtain call

    Poor Keith, the Stones are looking a bit long in the tooth, especially Mick, but wish I had his energy. Good on them for still performing & pulling in crowds.
