UK gov now considers porridge junk food and has banned porridge adverts for children

I think this refers to the kind of porridge based breakfast cereals that come in labour-saving microwavable sachets, and are loaded with sugar and salt and various other ingredients, to keep the kiddies quiet.

If anyone really fancies the basic, grey porridge oats that their granny used to start cooking at six o'clock of a frosty morning, using a double boiler on the stove, I suspect they will be quite safe from any 'nanny state' interference.

Love,

Television adverts for on line international gambling companies which are repeated ad nauseum, and always show a happy bunch of blokes celebrating their winnings, yeah as if.

Is it as bad over there?

Well, as much as I would like to bash Aussie Post, what with their outrageously increased charges and the threat of deliveries only on alternate days, they and Royal Mail did manage to deliver a Christmas card from regional Victoria to a friend in Manchester inside 10 days and vice versa. Credit where it is due, however rare.

You mean the ones you elected. The US may be about to have the same experience.

Not me .

As far as the U.S goes , big difference will be the reverse

It never used to be a problem , but sure is now given the people in charge the last decade .

You live in Victoria? Well, there's your problem. You've heard the proposition that the best thing about Victoria is the Hume Highway, that leads to NSW. Just joking of course.

Are you from Sydney?

Popular Melbourne insult.

I am in a rural Victoria , rest assured I've had my fair share of frustrations and annoyances.

Perhaps it's a matter of where you live. I've had no problems with Australia Post, but I live in a rural area.

Similar to things you mentioned, and in some cases its worst. Its a joke.

It saddens me to add them but…..The Royal Mail.

What an absolutely useless, dishonest joke of a company they have become.

A first class stamp no longer guarantees next day delivery (or the day after that in some cases) And this is despite a First Class stamp now cost a ridiculous £1.65!
Not so long ago we used to get two deliveries a day. Now we get one despite the ever rising charges.
Not so long ago you could reasonably predict what time the postman would arrive but now it’s totally random.

I recently had a new router delivered from Sky but we weren’t in. They said that it would be delivered the next day…it wasn’t. We phoned and arranged a delivery. It didn’t show up. I’m still waiting on a complaint about this. It’s been over a week so far.

Three days ago I got an email saying that RM had delivered a package (a book that i’d ordered) I got home….no package….no book!

I don’t know anyone that has a good word to say about Royal Mail.
