Today I chopped the chook and veg up in preparation and thought I'd better see what...

This picture recently appeared in a Western Australia newspaper, showing the arrival and unloading of an elephant, at Fremantle in the VERY early 1960s. With all the "safety laws" in place today, designed to "protect" fools from their own stupidity I wonder how these people ever survived? Horror...

I was preparing a post in reply to yobarr and Ivan in a topic which Dougwe started regarding a truck. As quite often happens the topic went way off the original topic which Dougwe had indicated in a post he wasnt worried about but when I went to post the whole lot was gone.

Wholesale lettuce price yesterday was $10, so retail $12-13, not much of a margin. But Banks wholesale for money is 1.35%, but sell it on at 4.8% That would make a lettuce around $28 if they had their way. Keep safe on the road and only buy lettuce, dont borrow money.

Hi all, Just a note to ask that members refrain from putting posts online about climate change (along with religion and politics).
