Your mother deserves a little credit

Heckler I have been a frequent visitor from Britain to your beautiful country for some 15 years or so, latterly to visit, with my wife on an annual basis, our daughter and family who are residents of Sydney...

Mary had a wittle lamb, full of iron

Last post for something we rely on

Heckler SO THE powers that be are closing my post office. They can't justify it being there any more and they say it's unprofitable. Well, of course it's bloody unprofitable, it's a post office.

Wealth for toil: sure is hard work

Heckler GENERALLY, we are open and friendly sorts, unencumbered by formality, and rigid class divides. Why then do I loathe our national anthem?

Easter Show fee does not compute

Heckler THIS is ridiculous. For some years now I've been entering the Easter Show Arts and Crafts sections, as, for even longer, have my forebears.
