The Formula1 on the Great Western Highway closest to Eastern Creek … it was great knowing that your bed sheet was the same piece of plastic as the toilet seat!!

The hotel concierge might be worth asking if you can get a contact for them (or ask the general contact address for recommendations). Have stayed in fairly generic touristy hotels & asked the concierge for dinner recommendations & been sent of to places that were absolutely brilliant but which...

Sorry that I cannot help with answering the question ... however, if I DID know what you'd like to find out, I would probably ask what your preferences were in terms of: cost - is cost the main thing? class of travel - see #1 I guess, or do you want to travel in business or premium economy...

Oi! Don’t shame the ironing pile just ‘cos it has 60 year old clean clothes at the base … :)

I was going to say that … but explete me that was mid 2012, what on Earth happened to the 13.5 years in between?!

My grandmother had a vinyl BOAC bag, was sort of a sports bag (cylindrical shape) in white with blue BOAC lettering and that flying bird logo they had. I remember 'cos she kept a few board games in it. Just now I was trying to Google something similar to what I remember, and there are a bunch...

I dunno ... as a passenger, I would prefer that it wasn't possible for someone to force me to drink ... ew, puke ... water!

It’s amusing watching a Jetstar passenger trying to get one of those incendiary Jeeps aboard as carry-on, and it just won’t fit on the luggage-scale to check whether it’s over 7kg!

I observed this at HKG in 2012 ... I'd been procrastinating during the 3hr wait between flights home over whether I wanted the hassle of carrying booze onboard given that the airside vendors weren't that cheap, checked the Dan Murphy's site & Dan's was cheaper so didn't bother ... then inside...

It could be like cars/roads/driving, ... nobody thought to ban it in the Way Back, but if you tried to implement something like that brand-new now there'd be ZERO chance. It's all about how the message is sold to the customer, and how much effect it might have on sales if you don't sell it...

Or take it down to your local police station & demand that THEY investigate!

Factoid that was interesting to me at least … a mate’s wife runs an antiques business in Beijing, she spends 90% of her life there, and they both do lots of commuting back-and-forth. My mate told me last week that she’d only just discovered Temu. So they don’t bother peddling their cough there...

Finally, London catches up with Wollongong!

Never tried it ... but are you 4' tall?

Well … it’s not called The Bane because it’s not the bane of … everything! If you were a storm, a place called The Bane is where you would make landfall …

Did someone build a multi-storey car-park at the wrong latitude & longitude, and instead of pulling it down when they realised their mistake, block-in the outer walls & call it an Ibis?

Mackay is the sort of place where you're surprised if baggage collection is any more sophisticated than the cart driving up to where people are waiting to grab their luggage ... and it has a hotel!

There's a hotel at Mackay airport?!

My wife got some form of Apple subscriptiony-thing which included it … to be honest I’m not sure what she wanted, I know she subscribes to Apple Music and also pays money for some cloud storage so if may be part of that. Anyhoo … I find there’s good quality stuff on there, but nowhere near...

While I’m not willing to claim the VIN is always visible in a little window within the black backing at the base of the windscreen; I’d be fairly confident in saying “most”! Outta interest, what’re the cars you’ve got which don’t have that?
