    New car features we don’t like

    My pet peeve is the Auto Stop/Start. Not only is it a nuisance, but it can be dangerous. Consider you are in a busy intersection waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so that you can make a right turn, and your engine switches off. You see a gap in the traffic which you could normally use...

    MTN to slow.

    Instead of reading what he actually said you must try and think what he meant to say, and of course you may be right or you may be wrong. I think he meant to say: "MTN too slow". What is your guess?

    Clearing out - Various stuff for sale

    Correct. So when you're emigrating, then you are immigrating as well? Unless you're not planning to live anywhere? That is true. None at all, but it is easier to read and comprehend if the language is correct. :)

    Clearing out - Various stuff for sale

    Fewer than half of Gauteng's driver's testing centres have slots to renew licence cards

    We need to bring back South Africans from around the world to fix Eskom: CEO

    It has been admitted that the current round of load shedding is caused by, or at any rate made worse by sabotage - an inside job. So here is a thought: the monthly pay of ALL the workers at any given plant shoud be dependent on the plant's uptime. So if a plant, or part of it , is not running...
