Aust. garlic produced in Mexico....didn't shock me, Golden Circle has been putting Beetroot grown in Indonesia into their cans and charging Aust. prices. Bought a tin, opened it, had a slice, this was on a Wednesday, still chewing on Friday, could have re-soled my shoes with it. Tossed the...

I wrote to the NRMA when this 'petrol cycle' began asked what it was all about and a couple of more questions. Their response was that they didn't post my letter in the magazine. When I inquired about why their response was that it would be 'too inflamatory to do so.' So much for their slogan...

Thanks Littleboy8, always like to learn something new...have a good Christmas.

I didn't know that there was a College devoted to 'Scotch', I'm guessing that he attended Scott's College.

Thanks Veggiepatch, I new about that change, just talking about a flag on those countries mentioned not representing all the persons there being represented after being 'invaded.' The new flag didn't represent any of those persons into the new flag, unless of course they were all 'trees with...

Why is this Country the only one in the world having this arguement/conversation, can anyone name another country that is going down the same path. NO, imagine proposing the changing of the USA, France, Italy, Canada, etc, these Countries were all 'invading entities' of lands which were already...

Thanks to all who clarified that this applied to SA, now, can I drive my NSW registered McClaren into SA without firstly getting this U catagory.... LOL

When a story like this appears it may be good idea to include the following ie: in which State this rule applies, when it came into effect, a list or where to get the list of those vehicles it applies to or a website to go to where you can get all of the information that is missing in the story...

So a change of date will fix every aspect of the 'problem' of the 26th. All the 'hurt, invasion feelings, etc etc etc.... so who gets to decide what is going to be the 'new date' that will heal all the negatives of the 26th. forever. How will it be decided, by the ideology of a political party...

I think a lot of 'trendies' are looking for their 15min. of fame. If a business doesn't support Australia, then I don't support them. I am the same with cash, if the business doesn't take cash, then I don't buy there. There are many other options on where to buy. As for not supporting Aust. day...

Touched a nerve magpie1, don't worry, Albo is going to bring back those drug smugglers where we the taxpayer can foot the bill. Those Bali bludgers were sentenced to 'life in prison', they won't die in an Aust. prison, the 'bleeding hearts' will start a movement to get them released on...

I am not a fan of any reality type shows and this one does not impress me in the least.. As for Raygun watching her effort to win gold for Australia all I can say is 'Raygun you're kidding, more like a Popgun' without the cork.

Many years ago, whilst still in uniform, my partner and I got a call to the railway goods yard at Darling Harbour to help look for 2 males who were attempting to steal from the goods platforms. We were joined by the Railway Police Unit and began our search. Whilst walking through the sheds we...

That's all well and expected because all prices go only one way and that is up however, what I have noticed is that some of chooks being sold are getting smaller. Some I noticed in Woolies were about pigeon size or under-age. I had bantams when I was growing up and they were bigger than the...

One of my closest mates of 45 plus years worked at Channel 7 when the complex was at Epping NSW and was there when Skase moved in on 7 after 'gutting' other companies both in Oz and overseas. He started 'gutting' channel 7 soon after he got there. My mate worked in Atlab, the developing section...

This type of behaviour, ie: adding methanol to drinks has been going on for years in South East Asia. You don't hear of 'locals' dieing from this poison, they know all about it because the people there are in on making it for the 'tourist market.' It is cheap and easy to produce with a ready...

The phone 'hang-up' is not true now. Many years ago it was the case, back in the 50/60's. A mate of mine worked in Telstra for over 40yrs. he informed me that the new technology has cancelled that out. So asking the annoying callers to wait and then just putting your phone down and walking away...

I always open and check the eggs for cracked ones, they are mostly present and I don't buy pre-cracked eggs, I crack my own. What I have noticed is the sizes of the eggs in the box. I like large eggs, 700/800grms. What I usually find is a size range that make about 6 of the eggs well below the...

Many years ago I use to watch a TV show called 'DRAGNET'. The Detectives would roll up and the opening line was, 'Just the facts sir/madam, just the facts.' Nowadays the headlines are just the 'attention grabber' where they intice you to buy the paper/magazine, the body of the story has no...

If a 'modest profit' was added to the 'cost of the mug' I may still buy one, thanks for the feed-back.
