Rather unfortunate responses to date. No wonder few bother to respond these days on this forum. But back to thread. I could have sworn I'd read Robinson's Fruit Juice , was a reason given a few years back for folk returning? Perhaps more a life and death issue than would have expected?

I expect the real reason though was the obscene cost of life in Australia along with the lack of ease of walking into a job, or a reasonably paid one, that many appear to think are there for the taking in Australia.
Shame the lack of juice distorts the real issues namely around what mentioned above being the most likely problems to be experience.

PS. Are you really a 'Dansk Kvinde?

It is a very old story - and I believe the family in question came to Adelaide (Glenelg area I think).. I don't think they stayed more than a week but I'm not going back to read the story.

Anyway, the member in question ****-posted across various sections of the forums with posts designed to stir people up - a troll - and has been banned.

If you have any other issues with moderator actions, can I suggest you pm one of the mods / supermods. - admin

OK same story then. I do recall it. Good of you to clarify though.
If I have issues with posts I will certainly react appropriately. I do not tend to go behind backs and report tit tattle either. Not sure why you mention moderator activities though for I tend to comment on the post and the sometimes apparent bullying that seems to accompany the tactics of certain replies. I have experienced such behaviour myself.

But again thanks for the clarification with regards to this particular post. Nothing further to comment.

The OP is just a troll, but pretty funny in that "she" is probably the most stupid one I have ever seen.

I was quite enjoying their input as they seemed quite a *benign troll. "She" was distracting me from the annoying changes to the site. All good here in NZ, Robinson's squash available in Countdown.
*with the exception of the thread about Dubai of course.

Reporting dross like that is not to 'go behind backs and report tit tattle' - its a matter of being a responsible pmember of the forum and reporting junk so the original poster gets sent where they belong. Mods cannot read every post and need to have reports sent through so that they can see where their attention is needed. Otherwise forums would drown under a pile of junk threads very quickly. I know as I've done the clean up job many times

Funnily enough, the aged parents came to visit last year and we gave them Bickford's lemon barley cordial, which they loved. They went back to the UK and in the absence of Bickfords, bought the famous Robinson's lemon barley water. Hated it.

£10,000 to move then scrounging around for £8 for a box of tea bags. What about the big picture?

.Your post got me wondering what exactly is a dross post? What is junk and why? The OP of this thread for reasons known to themselves aired a vintage post. Does that constitute a felony on this forum or simply something brought to the attention of OP and life moves on?
