    Australia’s largest taxi network gives Aussies special offer in light of its latest feature

    This is to promote more charging stations so my question would be if it is a $60.00 then free ride would you have enough charge to get to your destination and would there be a charging station on the way?

    Healthscope's latest move may change private health insurance soon

    Totally understand especially if there are no specialists in your area covering your particular needs. I recently had an artery scan which required a camera to be inserted in my groin area and down the main artery of my leg to the foot. It was done under some wonderful substance that did not...

    Shoppers slam Woolworths delivery driver over ‘grubby act’: ‘That driver should not be allowed’

    If you need to talk with anyone at Woolworths it is best to ring their state office in your state. They have one in each state and you will find them very helpful. They can put you through to the store; if there is no reply, they will get your call back and deal with your issue. It is a great...

    Healthscope's latest move may change private health insurance soon

    I don't know why there is a problem here. Just because our private hospitals have nice surroundings, efficient systems, highly skilled medical staff and very much including great nurses, fluffy pillows, comfortable beds, private rooms with great room service, etc are not much different from the...

    Shoppers slam Woolworths delivery driver over ‘grubby act’: ‘That driver should not be allowed’

    Our Woolworths drivers are exceptional. They are polite and efficient, always dressed well for the job, and personal and friendly. They will bring all the bags inside for me and take great care in what they do. They always photograph the delivery, I suppose, to protect themselves if there is an...

    Discover the Secret: What are Those Mysterious Black Cables Across Aussie Roads Really For?

    No there is no discernable way of reading individual speeds without first downloading the information into a fairly sophisticated computer program off-site.

    Discover the Secret: What are Those Mysterious Black Cables Across Aussie Roads Really For?

    I worked for a Company many years ago that used to provide them to the local authorities etc and we used to service the tubes when they were damaged or badly worn.

    Breathe in Italy from Home: How a Quirky New Souvenir Lets You Experience Lake Como Like Never Before!

    Cans of local air and even aerosol cans of local air have been available for decades around Europe and I think also USA. I just could never justify spending a huge amount of money for a can of nothing.

    Famous chef's new children's book sparks outrage, pulled from shelves

    Absolutely, and yes, I had completely forgotten about that. Thank you for the reminder; you are so right. I'd love to see that marching through the center of Sydney or, better yet, Ballarat.

    Famous chef's new children's book sparks outrage, pulled from shelves

    Isn't that the whole point, you are from convict stock therefore you should complain bitterly about your treatment especially when you listen to the abominable welcome to country.

    Australia boldly bans social media for under-16s: What grandparents need to know!

    I think it is just fine, hopefully, it will keep the little scammers and trouble-causers under some control. Modern youth seems to think that older people ar fair game for insults and have no respect for our mature age. Obviously, it does not apply to all youth today, but parents do not involve...

    Yes, that may be so and I apologise if I am wrong. What makes me suspicious is that I also received that email which is odd as I do not have a Paypal account.
