Things that you rate!

Was going to ask you for an update, great to hear. How is he going with school etc?

Still shit

It bewilders me, both my girls were straight A students, I was too, but the lad isn't interested unless there's a ball involved.

He's lucky that he has a job lined up that will pay well when he hits 18, he'd wanna like it.

Normal then

Last week Bunnings had 7500 shipping containers stuck on the wharf in China with no idea when they will be released.

This is great for someone, like me, that manufactures products for the construction industry in Australia and doesn't rely on China

Not for us, who manufacture in Australia from products sourced from (our own factory) in China.

This whole thing should hopefully have the government rethinking how we should be more self sufficient and not rely so heavily on China

Wont happen, when products can be made in China at around 1/3rd of what it costs here, aussie companies cant compete.

It must be a worry in China though, some of those business are on wafer thin margins, a couple of months of lost business and its all over. The flow on effect will be huge.

1/3?

You said products can be made in China for about 1/3 of the cost of that in Australia, it's about 1/10th...or less.

[Dutchy]

Varies depending on the product and industry.

[Booney]

Varies depending on the product and industry.

Of course, but if it was only 1/3rd the cost to manufacture by the time you actually have it landed in Australia you're not making much money at all.

As some know we had our trip to Bali cut short in March last year as my MIL's cancer suddenly got on top of her, we raced home and got to spend the last 24 hours with her. To get home the same day we had to fly via Perth and just paid whatever we needed to make it.

Anyway Ive been putting off contacting Jetstar about the return flights we never used, had some time today so got onto their live chat service, thinking Id have to fill out forms, send multiple emails etc just to get the value of the flights back, about $400.

After they asked a few questions and I uploaded the Death Certificate, it took about an hour, but they came back and said they are arranging a $1,000 credit for us to use and we will have the email in the first week of Jan. I was taken back cause the return flights only cost us $800, but then remembered that the flight we took from Bali to Perth was Jetstar and that cost us around $900 from memory, that was obviously considered.

They have copped a bad rap lately but well played Jetstar

Will use that to get back to Bali for Dec next year for our 50ths

Jetstar have a sale on at the moment, just booked December trip to Bali using voucher, cost us $500 out of pocket for 4 of us.

It'll cost you more than that when Bali becomes a do not travel destination

Normally very wet and very humid in December. .You will need to be by the pool drinking plenty to survive. Lucky it's your 50th.
