    I have tried self serve units twice. Both times they would not work for me. Why should I go out of my way to be stuffed around by this crap!
    Besides, the surveillance is also enabling tracking of not only what you buy and when but; it also spies on your card, pin and anything else it “sees”. Don’y believe anything these buggers tell you, they use and sell your data. Shoot the lot of them.

    Most things on ABC radio, both local and national seem to be strictly scripted. Interviews are repeats of interviews on other programmes, stations or even countries with the track that contains the interviewers questions being replaced by a local interviewer asking the same questions. Lazy. Even people alledgedly ring up 612 with a joke appear to be scripted and “put on” with the same joke and the same intro (including questioning if it is a clean joke) being identical. There is no originality left ob the ABC.

    In Victoria, this rule applies to body parts extending beyound yhe vehicles bodywork, not just the window frame. This allowed onr to rest ones right elbow on the window sill with the right hand on the wheel. By having both hans on the wheel you were considered to be “in control”. This statement is the result of successfuly challenging a fine.

    Between the early 1600’s and the early 1700’s the British monarchy was stripped of its ability to rule the country and all actions, including settlement in other countries, was the responsibility of the parliament. Britain became a democratic nation. Therefore the Royal family of England or Great Britain can NOT be held responsible for the treatment of the “colonies”.
