    Is this phone etiquette disappearing over the years? Here's what Aussies think!

    Yes it is good manners and polite. I'm afraid these days there are so many scammers, using AI to imitate you. They just ring to hear you say, " Hello I'm Mr or Mrs so and so " Then use your voice for their own underhanded purpose. I always wait to hear the other person speak first.

    Scrumping with Roy’s ‘Gang’

    That was such a good read Alan. It brought back many memories. My friends and I had similar adventures to your gang but we stole rhubarb and someone always had a bag of sugar that we could dip it in, to take the sourness away before scoffing it. Ah! Good times.

    Woman shares her distressing ordeal with her husband. See what made her go bananas

    There's obviously more going on in this relationship than we know for the wife to be so frustrated to post this on social media. It looks like a kid did this, not a 42yr old male.

    Aw that's not fair. You did all the right things when she needed you. Bless you, you sound like a wonderful Grandma. It's a shame that the kids are now missing out. She was very lucky to have you.
