Finally, it's arrived. What, the visa? No - I'm already here.

A parcel with 3 M&S work shirts, ahh, the quality...

Just replaced some work socks for Hubby, went to Target. After first day of wearing them there's a hole in the toe. Clothes quality is shite over here.

I need a day in M&S to top up all our undies.

I think they have quality control issues over here.

Opened a new toothpaste today and the tube hasn't been sealed properly, toothpaste is leaking out of the seam down the side. Also had a dodgy Milo dessert (the green ones), they overdosed on coco power (I think) - it was disgusting.

No big deal really - I find it quite amusing.

i can' t believe what they sell here. Dining chairs with flaws in fabric, bean bag with rips in in which they had sewn up! sofa that had so much frame missing it collapsed. All of those companies told us they cant afford quality control so stuff just goes out without being checked. Seems its to keep the aussies happy with cheap goods regardless of how shoddy they are. Carpet dyed with 4 different colours just prompted a suggestion of replacing it with yellow carpet instead of the cream we ordered if we did not like the faulty stuff. Guess you either laugh or scream.

Australia makes little in manufactured goods so most things we buy are made in China and the lowest quality they can make and sell.
Now if you ever need a good rock I am sure Australia has the best.
