    Beat the heatwave: Aussies are turning to Kmart’s $99 ‘Dyson dupe’!

    As far as I can see this is not a cooling fan. It will just move the air and not change its temperature. The only benefit is if you sit in front of the fan in a sweaty condition. The evaporation of your sweat is what will cool a person.

    Shocking discovery under the carpet leaves Aussie renter in utter disbelief

    Where possible the store owner could instal an automatic door locker. If the checkout staff suspect someone is doing a runner, just press the locker button.

    Tooth-cracking object found in grocery staple leaves customer in horror - you won't believe the 'INSULTING' compensation they received!

    Why would anyone re-insert the alleged needle into the bread after the incident? If a person suspected that there was a needle in their mouth. They would not carefully remove it still attached to the bread. A person would get the needle out of their mouth asap.

    Kmart shopper spots hilarious price fail: 'Can’t get better than this'

    OK Robbo, The shopper could have removed any amount of numbers then move the 0 next to the Dollar sign. The 1 or 2, I used were just examples of what may have been in place. There really is no need for you to say the T shirts were $8.00?? Most readers would understand the obvious.
