without knowing for sure, my guess is 0% = balanced between positive and negative

so therefore it can drop to -40% if it now means confidence is strongly negative

it doesnt say confidence though, the add specifically says business pessimism has dropped to minus 40%.....

Definitely a double negative.

well thats just silly

which is my point

Whilst Business SA have their name to the adds, they are paid for by the Australian Bankers Association.

Business SA who's charter is to advance the interests of its members is acting as a paid servant. The ABA adds using the term "we" as in we South Australians is an attempt to make it sound like it is or representative of local business. That said, the add does not advance its cause one iota due to its confusing language.

Stupid people.

Have this service provider at work, sent me an invoice, it was grossly inaccurate - even the dates were wrong - sent it back told him to fix it.. took him 3 weeks to respond to me, sends revised invoice, then rings me straight away getting all wild demanding payment and carrying on like an idiot.

Mate, if it didn't take you a month to send the invoice in originally, then another 3 weeks to fix the invoice and send correctly, this would've been sorted ages ago - don't blame me for you being an idiot, and don't think i'm gonna run around pushing payments through just because you've decided/realised you need to get paid straight away.. stuff ya you can wait till i'm ready!

This is a constant battle here. I process 10-20 incoming orders a day. Most of the invoices come at the end of the month, and they want payment 30 days after the delivery (which could have been 28 days before we saw the invoice).

They'd be lucky to get paid 60 days after the deliver. The people that send invoices with the goods get paid first.

Thought I may have scraped through without having to go to the show, I've taken my kids every year since I split up with my ex wife and was kind of hoping that I might of dodged this year, it appears not.

$70+ just walking in the gates.

I last went when Junior Boon was 4, I vowed never to go again. He's just gone 21 and I haven't been back.

We blew through about $350, with just one seven year old calling the shots.

save up the cash and go to the gold coast every few years. much better value for money imo

Well he was the whole reason we went. I'll never complain about having a great day out with him.

Are you sure you're from Freeling?

Yeah, the missus and I just went, we're taking the kids next year, either there or Bali.

We come out alright out of it, her lad isn't big on the rides, neither is the missus, I feel sickened at forking out the coin for the rides so I do F*** all, I'm happy to just get my licorice showbag for the day.

My two love the rides and have no limit, we came in at around $350 last year for the 5 of us, the bank account is struggling a bit this time round.

Flash your RAA card at the ticket booth and get ten bucks off.

I keep a piggy bank in which I toss any silver coins I find in my pocket at the end of each day. Come September I go and bank it and give it to the kids for the Show. That's their showbags all paid for.

Still went through upwards of $300 with two kids, but the above hacks do soften the blow.

The only proper ride he wanted to go on was the Gravitron. We all went on, so that was about $28 for that. Then he did the fun house and some of the little kid rides. The show bags were priced pretty good.

The foods expensive, and pretty terrible. I remember it being better. Everything we got was cold. Lunch and dinner there for 3 people would've been about $80-$90 all up.

The sideshows are a rip now too. Most are $10 for 3 shots. What a joke. Only got sucked into doing two before I put my foot down and the Mrs just bought a big Pikachu. Way cheaper than trying to win one.

We did the Yellow Brick Road, just so it was something to take up time that was free, and it would move us around the show.

We saw all the animals and the Team D-Max stunt show is pretty good too.

I was gonna get the prepaid family ticket and then a kids ticket, not sure if that works on top of that.

We don't do the sideshows, we're normally in and out within two hours, rides, show bags and check out whats going on in the arena then hit the road.
