All I can say is the "budget" had nothing in it for pensioners. They keep on about the pay rise we are getting in next pension payment, what $4.50 a fortnight. I can tell you the current government will not be getting my vote. Mind you I am not keen on Mr Dutton either. Such is life.

Its always been a bug bear of mine, I paid for my UK pension, and get around $400 a month. Of course Australia and our friends at Centerlink say, well you can't have full Australia pension too. So I only get two thirds of the Australian pension. My wife got hit too, as she gets a part pension...

Same old thing, see it often at our local shopping centre. Some do have bollards to stop people going it to these extra space areas. The other thing is the shopping centres never book people. Our centre has big signs saying the carpark is not theirs. (If that makes sense) Its all a bit too much...

I was seeing a lady from work, and had been going with her for a few months. Moved away from home, and now firm girlfriend followed. We decided maybe we should get married, upon telling my Mother she says "Well that's the most senseable thing you've done in a long while" My Mother had liked...

Christmas memories for me is back to my childhood (1950s) we would always go over to our Grandparents house in Greenford (Middx) and on Christmas morning the front room was off limits. We had woke up to stockings at bottom of bed. That keep us busy, till after breakfast. Then once we were all...

This is all very interesting, I've been on "Losec" now called Ozmep (Omeprazole) For years and have kidney failure down to 10% and ex[ecting to go on to Dialysis by end of year. So maybe I need to contact some legal company to ask more questiuons.

Australia's airline system has been bad since way back in late 1950s onwards with Ansett and TAA. NOw its Qantas and Virgin, and a bit of Jetstar, Other airlines have come and gone, and Australia should do the same as Airlines in Europe/UK and USA cover peoples out of pocket expednsives. Offer...

Sounds bit "iffy" to me. My main problem here one of my accounts is with an Eastern states bank with no branch in WA. So I will have to telephone them to confirm anything. Still finding interesting thanks for "heads Up"

Yes we don't do alot of on line food shopping, but last week as Covid had come to visit our house. We did an online shop with Woolworths. Among the good was one orange, which we didn't order. Upon checking the list there it was one Orange. We must have clicked the wrong item I think, although...

We are keeping our heads above water, but no thanks to Austalian Government. They don't like that we get part pensions from other countries.
