    Shocking! A passenger denied boarding to Britain lashes out at staff with used sanitary products – see why she lost it!

    I feel the jury made the wrong decision re Sam Kerr. If a taxi driver is doing the wrong thing why does he drive her to a police station of all places. Further more she was drunk and a window was broken. This class of behaviour overseas does not show Australia in a good light!!

    Popular Woolworths product falls victim to shrinkflation: ‘That’s a massive increase’

    My complaint re Woollies is the wild bird seed. Price gone from 9.95 to $10.05 and size gone down by 1 kg. Not the only thing this has happened to!! Price up size down seems to be the rule! Packets have got bigger and contents smaller - I feel sometimes that I'm paying for air!!

    You won’t believe the blunder this royal made in her New Year’s video

    I wish Harry all the best but must admit I don't care for his wife. I think both of them treated the Queen with disrespect and feel that Harry was led by his wife who is a social climber. America can keep them - England is better off without them!

    I was born in the war. My mother told me many organisations helped the people of London who had very little left but you had to pay something for the help. The only ones who helped if you had only the clothes you stood up in were the Salvation Army - they never took payment for anything and...
