    An Aussie who doesn’t like Tim Tams? Should her Aussie card be revoked?

    I adore TimTams and must ration myself. However even the smell of Vegemite turns my stomach.

    After decades in the industry, this popular Channel 7 host is retiring

    Such a Lady! It is a shame to lose another of our mature female presenters as we have so many high pitched mouthy young blondes expressing politically biased news reports and opinions especially on Sky News and other stations belonging to Murdoch's empire. Jane will be missed.

    American customers’ ‘abrasive’ behaviour shocks Australian waitress

    Having travelled extensively in the US, we find that Americans treat their restaurant and shop assistants as if they were servants, especially if these workers are Mexican or Central American. When I challenged one group once for such loud rudeness I was told, "We are paying them to serve us...

    Want streak-free windows? This budget solution gives instant results

    Now if only it came with a hunky young guy willing to come and let me watch him doing my dozens of glass doors and windows. My old applicator is now 81 with a crook back and non-stop groans and moans. My own physical problems mean I need help for the tasks but there is nothing wrong with my...

    Chocolate lovers rejoice! This Celebration tubs favourite is here to stay

    I love most chocolates and buy a box of Favourites every major shop which is every two weeks. However I get stuck with the white chocolate "Dream". At last count I had 50 of them. I had them all ready to give out on Halloween but nobody came this year. I think word got around and even the local...

    Christmas Competition!

    Post-war Britain meant food rationing, clothes were hand-me-downs or recycled by clever sewers and toys were what granddads made from wood. As a child my Christmases meant another jumper knitted by Nan from an unravelled one of hers, a second-hand doll dressed in rainbow coloured handknits and...

    Joke Wee Tommy

    Why is it funny? Because it is about female genitalia?? I don't think it is funny nor the topic. So that should be enough reason for my opinion.

    Fast food chains ranked in terms of chicken welfare and plant-based options – which are among the worst?

    On the two only occasions I have eaten KFC I have been violently ill within 30 minutes, stomach cramps , vomiting followed by hours on the toilet. Now I don't even consider it. Nor will I eat from Hungry Jacks after being served by girl with long hair hanging loose from her cap over her ears...

    Christmas treat recalled over allergen risk after labelling issue

    As a person with several allergies to foodstuff this is so important. My mother-in-law almost killed me one Christmas by serving a fruit drink with pineapple in it. I ended up in hospital swollen like an elephant, covered in huge hives and having my stomach pumped. Her response was, "I thought...

    I will buy no food from Aldi after far too many dreadful discoveries - mouldy chocolates which I had bought in a gift box to give to a friend; creepy crawly with lots of legs in a packaged lettuce mixture and steak which when I got home and opened up , discovered it was green on the underside...

    You could be spending hundreds of dollars MORE than you need to on plane tickets! Find out the BEST time to buy

    People don't always fly for holidays. A neighbour has just flown to the US because his mother is dying. Because of Covid I could not see my daughter for almost 3 years. My husband and I are pensioners so the huge airfare increases still mean we are unable to visit relatives in Europe...

    This new restaurant 'trend' is driving diners crazy - do you think we should stop this?

    I will tip and generously, for good service by the staff either by adding it onto the space provided when I receive the bill, or else I will put cash into the staff tips jar. However I refuse to pay extra for shoddy, slack or too casual service, As a waitress in the UK back in the 60s, I relied...

    Oh my Goodness! That is exactly what my very elderly mother replied when she had her licence cut up after failing her test ordered by our doctor to prove she was now incapable.
