Same in Canada.

You can often go into a local shop, too.

RingGo also accepts calls (local SIM best to have, of course).

Yes it is possible and I do the same but if you’re in a car park in the rain with poor internet connection it’s not ideal.

Sounds like most of the UK TBF.

And if she'd gone to Greece (or other EU holiday spot) not Turkey, then she would have had reciprocal cover. No repatriation but at least no major medical bills

That appeal isn't going very well. Be interesting to see the outcome when she's ready to leave.

Same price. 15% less.

Am in Hawaii and it is perfect weather for icecream or gelato, BUT the smallest serving size is enough to feed a family of 4. No one seems to offer a simple single or double scoop; instead it is giant tub starting from $7 + tax. No wonder there are so many obese Americans.

We went to the Cheescake Factory in Honolulu and were served a mountain of food. I do like their food, their corn ribs are wonderful, but so much food. Puts me off. Cheese seems to be the new thing there, that yellow stuff that is poured onto everything.

Is anyone able to assist?

I need to know who manages the strata of the building next door. I'm not interested in body corporate as those on body corporate could be the ones causing issues.

My new real estate manager does not want to help. She only cares about our building but 2 buildings share the one property and managed separately.

If cannot get help from strata where can I go next? This is out of control. Person still parking in driveway and on Saturday the person opposite me left car in front of their garage and I struggled reverse parking without hitting their car. I've just signed another 12 months lease.

Call the police and get them to put a parking fine on the car.

On private property?

On private property?

I used to rent a flat that had a garage opening onto the street. Several times I was parked in or out and would call up. I think the car was probably in my block and they assumed the garage wasn’t used.

Anyway, private property would be some sort of trespass? All the more reason to report it?

I think it is more that for private property, police don't have the authority to issue fines. For example, in shopping centres when someone parks in a disabled park, neither police or council can issue a fine. I believe they mentioned that they could if the owner of the property invited them to, however. I know this sounds insane but I had our mayor confirm it. This may be VIC specific, I'm not sure.

It's a complex one and I guess not easy to explain.

This idiot keeps parking his car in the driveway. Yesterday the maintenance were also there for 90 minutes so they left their equipment opposite him as well. For a few months there were cars either side of the driveway which only left just enough room for a single car to pass in or out. Stupid.

Then as I said there are 2 buildings facing each other and garages of each building facing each other. If we both leave our cars in front of our garages there's no room for any other car to get through. So that means 10 other cars locked in. Yet they still keep leaving a car in front of the garafe e whenever they have visitors. I can actually say they are parked in front of my garage which they are.

I mean you really have to be totally inconsiderate and selfish or totally stupid and ignorant.

Tried uploading photos but wouldn't let me.
