Rikkitic: I already pointed that out. Except it is more than the same price. Triple is closer.

This is Whiskas, it's always been around the $20 mark for a bag, you're just getting 25% less now.

I always paid $16 for 4 kg, then it went up to around $30 in stages, then the bag size dropped to 3 kg. That is how I remember it. Of course I can barely remember my name these days.

For something as important as a tick box that could result in an $8000 debt you’d think they’d have both Yes and No tick boxes

For something as important as throwing away $8k of taxpayer money, you'd think they'd have a more thorough verification process.

When you tick "permission to leave" for a delivery and the courier ignores that authorisation and doesn't leave the parcel. Now I need to arrange redelivery or pick up from the depot, defeats the purpose of getting an item delivered to save time.

Even more annoying was that I was at home when they called, just up the back of the section in the garden.

That our five year old read out loud the decals on the back of the black Tesla in front of us. The decals read "if you're going to ride my ass at least pull my hair first". Try explaining that to a five year old with her three and two year old brothers in the car.

Should be a law against it.

"An ass is an old-fashioned name for a donkey, and you have to hold on tight to the hair so you don't fall off. Must be a farmer".

So, the form has been updated or the officer processing the form took the blank entry as a No to that option or the parents were lying.

Might have just missed the "or partner" as the boxes ask for spouse's details?

Using the Wayback Machine we can see that the form has had separate yes and no options since 2020 (which is as far back as it goes).

TFA mentions two forms, and some of it being DIA and the other IRD, could there be other forms that's are not consistent with the first one?

Deceptive Supermarket "product placement"!

End of isle display! (Only pricing shown is for $3.49)

Yet "Normal" pricing shown on the Macaroon shelf in the biscuit isle. A price check @ the checkout showed NO discount!

(With Clubcard there was NO discount)

I wonder how many customers were / are caught out by this?

This is one of my absolute favorite pet hates. NW seems to be the worst for it, PnS also. Sometimes it seems like they're deliberately positioning price tags and product to be deliberately misleading.
