    Aussie renter horrified after receiving 'predatory' letter from real estate agent

    Aussie renter horrified after receiving 'predatory' letter from real estate agent

    'Emotional' doesn't come near to describing this rant. I would call it disturbing, and I worry for their emotional state. It is a simple piece of advertising, which all businesses do. If there is something in my mailbox I am not interested in reading, it goes in the recycle bin. Simple!

    Sunnyboys may still be around - but not the way you think!

    So, when I was a kid, these drinks were called Jubbly's, and mum used to put them in the fridge the night before so they would be frozen for school the next day. Anyone remember those - the same pyramid shape

    Vintage jar of Vegemite from the 1930s shocks Aussies with its serving suggestion – are you willing to give it a try?

    I always put a teaspoon of Vegemite in my vegetable soup, instead of salt. Nigella Lawson said that she uses it in her Bolognese sauce. Good for her, good for me!!
