    Outrage forces Aussie shopping centre to take down Christmas decoration

    We could all do with a dose of hope kindness all year not just at Christmas. If you don't believe then ignore Christmas. I ignore the commercialism of Christmas as to me, as a believer, that's not what it's about. I am not offended nor do I participate in other faiths celebrations. I'm not...

    Australian airlines faced with new problems as plane seats ‘shrink’

    To all those judgemental people posting here - learn some decency and compassion. If you're naturally slim you're really lucky. Not all of us make the choice to be deliberately fat and lazy. Apart from being 'fat and fit' (just ask my cardiologist after I blitzed a stress test to his...

    Woolies shopper allegedly accused of theft due to frustrating self-checkout error

    I loathe self-checkouts, and talking to the staff at my local Coles they loathe them too - very boring and occasionally nasty job for them as well. So I won't use them until there is a 20% discount for using them! Jobs are too important. When I can I use Drakes or Aldi - staff in both of...

    Bank scam exposed: Five charged for alleged plot involving ATM skimmers and counterfeit bank cards

    I was in this site this morning but thought it looked dodgy wanting 50c, so the only thing they've got is a rego number for a trailer! The site is clearly a scam site so good to warn others of it. So if you need to check your rego expiry, go to the government sites - you don't have to pay to...

    Why Making Your Bed Should Be the Last Thing on Your Morning To-Do List

    I was a top and bottom sheet and make the bed each morning type for over 50 years (old boarding school habits die hard!). But in the last few months I've switched to a linen bottom sheet and pillow cases and a light linen coverlet in summer and and a heavier linen quilt for winter and I don't...

    ‘Make your own’ – Find out why this shopper was berated for complaining about this popular ALDI buy

    While I agree that is a very skimpy portion of chicken (my westies get 100-125 grams of human grade meat in their dinner), it does give the protein amount on the packet. So I suppose it's 'buyer beware', 'read the label' and 'you get what you pay for'. Personally, I like the Beerenberg sauces...

    Is this Harris Farm sign honest or misleading? Shoppers argue over 'fake discount'

    'Of course, there's more to consider than just image when setting prices for your products or services. You also need to take into account your costs, what the competition is doing, and what the market will bear. But if you keep your brand identity top of mind, it can be a helpful guide in...

    Warning: Deadly disease spreading to dogs. Here's what you need to know to keep your pet safe

    Hi All, I'm always wary of commercial companies which spread these infomercials for commercial advantage. Thye want you to buy their product and nothing else. As far as I know ticks are not a problem in SA. (I was very aware of them when I lived on the mid-north coast of NSW years ago, but...
