As most letters you receive in business are 12 point, why do they think we can read this badly positioned, tiny label, with multiple items crammed on one sign. After have difficulty...

    Is your daily cleaning routine as intense as these Australians?

    This level of cleanliness may be required when you have young children or messy teens, but when you are over 70 you don't make a mess, the main problem then is dust. A fortnightly thorough dust, wiped down surfaces and vacuum and wash all floors, is completely sufficient. Of course the linen is...

    In have been using this for years, my glass screens have not got cancer and always come up brilliantly. It has only one draw back, it causes any article outside the show such as floor mats to be bleached if there is any overspray. I have a couple of green mats with white spray spots from...

    ‘I have a problem’ – Woolworths’ rewards recap reveals everyone’s favourite products of 2022

    More invasion of privacy, that's why I don't have rewards cards and use cash. I don't want to be reminded of what I spend money on I already know. Nothing is private anymore, why do they bother, who wants to know how many times they bought sweet potatoes, milk and bread, what an absute waste of...

    Qantas takes the top spot on the 'Shonky Awards' list. Are you surprised?

    And Mr Shonky himself is now being paid a $3,000,000 in bonus shares for making Qantas the worse one in the air. Maybe they gave him the shares because no one else wants them. The biggest disgrace in Australian airline history.

    Self-checkouts in supermarkets – love or hate?

    Any supermarket with self serve is too difficult for my son, he does not read or write, he shops by the pictures on the products, so never buy home brands as they don't have pictures. He lives independently on his own and wants to be independent, he still goes into the bank to collections his...
