Yeah, we get all those already in our supermarkets. Last year we got some Terry's Chocolate Orange things that melted into Hot Chocolate, that's the kinda stuff we never get!

What's this year's best festive treats in UK supermarkets?

People of the UK, can you tell me why you have these white balaclavas on your car seat headrests? What is the purpose? Why are there so many?

We have lanes with cameras, you need to have 2 or more people in the car to use them. These are better than a blow up doll in the passenger seat I presume.

Five to Seven Weeks Till Supply Chain Disruptions in US

Economy wise, China is Australia's largest trading parter, by a mile. They buy our iron ore, wine, seafood, agriculture products and much, much more. Politically, Australia has always leaned to the US. Ironically I would feel no worries heading to China, travelling and exploring but I feel unwelcome now under the trump reign. China hasn't imposed a 10% tariff on us, just the US

Australian here. Yeah our news keeps talking about random tourists getting locked up, deported & giving tips like 'if you go take a burner phone instead'. We came last year to the US, loved it, but this year we're not coming back (unfortunately). Too scary & don't feel welcome (by the policies, not the people).

I moved from the UK to Australia. Calling home involved going to the shop, buying a pre-paid international calling card then dialing into a phone server that connected your call. The line quality was terrible. Best decision I ever made. Despite the stupid cost of housing it's still way better, the high streets are still booming & we have a pool in the back yard for the kids.

Can't say we did. But we're quite well traveled & New York pizza slices were excellent. We also went to Chicago, Florida & Texas but the pizza slices in New York were a standout. I read here that it's the pure level of competition in New York that makes them good (so many choices that poor quality ones just don't survive).

Utilities & public transport should never be privatized. They are all investment heavy, low to no profit & should be run for the public good & subsidized via taxation. Good, cheap public transport clears roads & utilities should focus on being efficient.
