I cringe every time I go grocery shopping and see the ridiculous prices, Woolworths, in particular, has me hot under the collar with their recently introduced prices which advertise a lower cost if you buy 2 of something and are a "member". As an example, an item might cost $5. If you buy 2 of...

I support several charities on an ongoing monthly basis, however, I have to vote for the Cancer charity as my mother died at the age of 32, when I was 6, from breast cancer and it has been the greatest sadness of my entire life. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Tone 2, and Tone 10. Constant for 50 years after I worked in a large government mainframe computer centre. Annoying and frustrating..
