Looking at the layout of a van I'm considering, and was wondering about moving the door from just off mid position to the far end but still from the side. It made me wonder what if a fire occurs, the main place for fire would probably be kitchen so we would be trapped. Do the windows and vents fitted to vans h...

Hi Cindy, I was most interested the other day to notice a new thread, I cant remember (and now can't check) the exact title but it was a poll to see if people wanted Billeeeee to return. I cast my vote which was yes, but that's Irrelevant. Others cast theirs, some had never heard of him and others said no. T...

My mum made me a set of these quite a few years ago. My mum passed away in March last year so I decided to make each of my three daughters a set as well. Didn't get them finished in time for last Christmas but they're all done now.

I had done my shopping in Biloela and forgotten the honey and now that I don't carry sugar that was a big deal, but I remembered Jamie's Delivery Service and I expect it to arrive at my door tomorrow Thursday. Spent Tuesday afternoon getting set up and most of this morning then Pearl was packed up ready to...

It seems to be fairly expansive advice/information and I would think it helpful. Of course, there may be expert advice forthcoming from informed members that may complement...

In my town we had BP, Shell, Caltex, Neptune, Ampol, Amaco, Mobil, Golden Fleece and an old mechanics workshop still had Texaco signs from days gone by. What did your tow...
