Re: Blimey.... not always 20 years behind!!!!
I think most Aussies are really helpful. I went into a shop the other day...along with two kiddies, one in a pushchair...you get the scene?
I decided to buy a garden pergola, you know the cream canvas ones that go up like a brolly but you can peg them down? Well, it was on sale at $99, couldn't resist a bargain.
I tipped the little'un out of her buggy (don't panic, she can walk!) put the pergola into the buggy, veered my way through the slalem course of shop displays and when I got to the checkout the assistant said "can I help?" I thanked her and accepted gratefully...she buggered off into the precinct and returned a minute later with a shopping trolley for me!! Now how helpful was that eh? No worries!!
Can you really imagine one of those not so smiley assistants at B&Q doing that?

After reading all this I can't resist mentioning my local fruit & veg shop. They have someone to pack your purchases and then offer to carry it to your car for you. And this actually does happen 50% of the time.
They also send weekly emails out with all their special offers on, (lettuce is 96c)
