126 guineas! To my way of thinking that was a huge sum of money. I was talking with my father tonight and they purchased that model without a heater in 1959 after seeing it displayed at the Brisbane Exhibition. He and I calculated that in todays money it would have been the equivalent of...

For the first time in the twenty years that Mal and I have been a couple both fsmilies are coming to Christmas night at our house.

American detergents from Costco? Josh I haven't been to Costco in Melbourne yet but I believe they sell some USA detergent products. Would any of those take your fancy?

55 years and still going strong! One of the first recorded Dame Edna monologues was in 1955 concerning her describing her house so as to be chosen to billet visitors for the 1956 Olympic games when they were held in Melbourne Australia. Consider whether Jack Benny or Lucille Ball (comedians...

Proud to have bought Australian this year I bought a new Westinghouse 420litre topmount on the understanding that it was manufactured in Australia earleir this year. Was I mislead? Interestingly it was in dollar terms $100 cheaper than the Sharp 440litre that we had bought 14 years before...
