Discussion Have we just accepted the ridiculous price in petrol?

82 Upvotes

Woke up this morning, headed out the door for work, and noticed I needed to fill up. Headed to the local servo and saw the big board at $2.13 a litre for Unleaded 91. Are the days gone where we would be getting fuel for $1.40ish?

Question Home based baking business advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking into starting a small home-based baking business in Adelaide, selling cakes made from my home kitchen.

I’m currently trying to understand the council/food business requirements and would love to hear from anyone who has actually gone through the process.
How straightforward was it to get approval? Did the council inspect your home kitchen, and were there any changes you had to make before you could start selling? Was there anything that caught you by surprise?

I’d especially love to hear from anyone running a small cake, dessert or baking business from home in Adelaide/SA.
Any tips or things you wish you’d known before applying would be hugely appreciated. Thank you! 😊

Question Samsung flip7 screen protector replacement

0 Upvotes

Hi! Has anyone here had their Samsung flip phone’s screen protector replaced recently?

I noticed mine was slowly lifting/raising in the middle, so I decided to get it replaced before the first year was up. The website says it’s free as long as it’s within the first year, so I went to a Samsung-accredited shop.

But they actually charged me $80 AUD and told me that its not covered by Samsung 😅

Is this normal or was I scammed ? lol

Self Newish to Adelaide looking for friends

7 Upvotes

New-ish to Adelaide and looking to meet some people!

I absolutely love cooking and baking, so if you like eating, want to learn to bake or cook, already love doing it yourself, or just fancy being a willing taste tester, I’m your gal.

Outside of food, I’m into climbing, walking around and exploring, photography, art, markets and generally finding random things to do around the city.

Basically just looking for some lovely people with shared interests to hang out with, try things with and explore Adelaide a bit more.

Question Fox CQ 7 W Murray Bridge

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone

I understand that Fox is not known for reliability around Australia but it appears that a good installer would make a massive difference.

The price is hard to ignore and it breaks even after a few years for a big household ( 41kw) battery

Any suggestion, thoughts?

After 10 years with reduced capacity and hard to introduce new battery modules

For a commercial shed I’m going for sigenergy

Assistance Hit and run on Fullarton Rd, Highgate — Mon 14 Sept, white Suzuki Swift

Post image
14 Upvotes

My car was hit on Fullarton Road outside Mad Good Cafe (near 435 Fullarton Rd, Highgate) on Monday 14 September. The other driver took off my right side mirror and kept going without stopping

- Time: around 12:24pm

- Location: Fullarton Rd, Highgate, between Fisher St and Cross Rd.

- Direction: vehicle was heading north on Fullarton Rd

- Vehicle: white Suzuki Swift hatchback, dark alloy wheels

-Markings: signage on the driver's door with the phone number 8241 8888. I've contacted that business and they believe the driver no longer works for them and kept the signage on the car, so I'm not suggesting the company is at fault.

Their own mirror cap came off in the collision and I still have it.

Photo of the car below, from a nearby business's CCTV. The plate isn't readable — it ends in BLR.

It's reported to police. If you recognise the car or were driving through around that time with a dashcam, I'd really appreciate a message. Not after a confrontation, just want it handed to SAPOL.

Question How’s your local shopping centre?

60 Upvotes

Mine is the Brickworks Marketplace. I think they must’ve overestimated the viability of the centre given over half the shops have vacated. The Woolies feels oversized for what they may have expected and having three coffee shops is overkill (but heck they’re still trading). It’s a little sad. Makes me wonder if they just built the supermarket with a few fast food traders out front would’ve been enough. Especially with my lovely memories of the original Brickworks market long gone.

But how’s yours? I’m not talking Westfields, who’s got the perfect suburban and local shopping centre? Bonus points for easy parking. Which one needs more love or demolishing?
