The place where I worked had copper guttering and downpipes. Over a year we ended up losing all of the downpipes and then the gutters on four three storey buildings. This all happened at night regardless of some security patrolling. It would have been a big operation needing ladders to get to...

This is what happens with privatisation and focus on profit and shareholders. The main focus on providing services for customers takes a back seat and is virtually forgotten. This should never had happened, the selling off by governments of the utilities and services. Look at the mess now. So...

I worry that this is going to turn into another NDIS mess. Privatising everything available will only lead to shonky operators who are out to make money through huge profits. I think too, older people will do without or reduce the services they need because of cost and worrying about having some...

I hate the idea of using the phone for this, just as I hate having my cards in the phone. I like having keys for the car, although I now have a fob for my new car, and using plastic cards. I am finding that phones are becoming more complex and I hate the small screen that I can not see. I also...

Good on them! Small communities are so important to the life blood of our country. Taking away services like the local PO kills off small communities and tells them that they do not matter. I am so glad that the community banded to save their post office and did!

Hold your head high what ever others say!

I loved my job very much and thought that I would be working for some time after retirement age to 70 or more. Unfortunately, due to health reasons and struggling in my last year of working deciding at 61 it was time to finish and retire. Although I am now settled into retirement, I still miss...

Another example of the state of our health care. What a mess this is in and why has it taken so long with so much inaction it is becoming too late now.

I am shocked that the Revesby PO is closing. Revesby is a bustling little community and a significant rail junction. Revesby still has each of the main banks. My local branch closed some years ago and all of my accounts were moved to the Revesby branch. We travel to Revesby to do our banking...

I only buy chocolate now when it is on special and stock up to see me through to the next special. I am finding I do this most of the time with my staples of waiting for the special and then stocking up to see me through to the next special. It saves quite a bit of money.

I have noticed that as cars and utes have got bigger the parking spaces size have not changed. These larger vehicles leave little room between cars parked and also you can not see over the larger ones to see any vehicles coming. Reviews into space size needs to happen with a new minimum size to...

A new job for drivers is to check that all passengers have their seat belts on properly both in a look at each and reminding passengers to ensure that their seatbelts are on properly. I know that this sounds silly but it will help your passengers know that you are serious about seatbelts in your...

The British were very strategic in this whole visit playing the game but looking good and ensuring that everything was well planned to keep Trump in line making sure he was on his best behaviour by playing on his ego with the carriage, the banquet and other things making him look important.

We have had solar for years. I have wanted to add a battery my gut feeling has said "not yet - wait". I still do not think they are there yet, but I maybe wrong. So many of our appliances now rely on lithium batteries from most of my tools to most of our cleaning appliances. We are careful with...

Dining out has changed so much. It is now becoming a luxury. People are going for more casual settings and simpler foods rather than the high-end eating establishments with white starched tablecloths and serviettes. Some of our favourite restaurants have closed which is ashame, but our eating...

I like Pepsi Max and drink this each day and also love chocolate and Minties. I had my first filling ever just last year and I am 65. Just luck I think. My father had all of his teeth removed at 26 as they were rotten and my mother had so many fillings and was always at the dentist. She had her...

We have noticed a few more read bellies around this year. We live near a bush reserve. We always check the backyard each day for the dog's sake. He will want to play with it and end up getting bitten.

I think we have all been 'influenced' to stay away and eat elsewhere seeing we will be treated to second class service and treatment.

I am not sure if I can trust AI to take notes. I have a wonderful young doctor who will call to see how I am going if he has not seen me for a couple of months. This is rare these days. So many horror stories. He has said if I need to see him at any time and there are no appointments he will...

I was very much against VAD to begin with, but after watching my mother, her husband, my father, stepmother and my brother go through horrendous deaths through pain and suffering through serious illness I have changed my mind, but it needs to be in the last stages and used as a way of ending the...
