Dad, a Motor Mechanic, serviced our car and forgot to check the spare wheel. We went for a holiday in the Flinders Ranges and "cut" a tyre on a dirt road that had some stones in it. The spare tyre was about 1/2 flat. The only pump we had was the now "old style" that you pushed down by hand. My...

Lamb used to be a lot cheaper than a lot of other meat. You could buy a side of lamb or hogget (older lamb) and have it cut up the way you preferred. You knew exactly when you were getting, no badly cut chops hidden at the bottom. The one Mum went to wasn't more expensive than our nearest...

This is not about the spelling mistake. Kmart brand products would be manufactured by a large well known company. I wonder if Kmart are selling products with the manufacturers' names on them as well as their own brand. There is a huge range of Supermarket brand products that the "big name"...

Maybe the baby was asleep. Is there more than one person listed to pick the child up? Everybody has a "double". Obviously the Childcare Centre didn't check their records either. Many you have to have a pass or know the pin code to get into the centre building.
