I may be able to help here Andy.

Phone Telstra with the simplest of questions, as I did, and after some 25 minutes of going around in circles and becoming completely exhausted, hung up and then slept.

The problem is still not resolved, however Andy I have next Thursday off and will try again.

Two headlines in the Advertiser on September 15:

Plan to capitalise on appetite for eating out - stating that the average Australian eats out two or three times a week.

Readers are feeling the heat from the cost of living - meaning the cost of electricity is getting way too high.

The obvious solution is – eat out as often as you can and so save on electricity usage in your home. Common sense with tongue-in-cheek? By the way, eating out is so common in American cities that even as far back in 1985, townhouses were built without a kitchen - just think how many meals that would pay for. 

A stuffed cow, an Adelaide pizza restaurant, angry diners. What’s wrong with this picture? Diners are confronted at seeing the remains of an animal who lost her babies, her health and her life so that humans could have a fleeting taste sensation.

PETA commends Etica for hanging up the body of slaughtered 8-year-old cow Schvitzy and giving people a taste of where their food comes from.

The dairy industry takes babies from their mothers at birth, so that humans can take the milk for shakes and pizzas. The mothers bellow and cry for days for their lost calves – I grew up on a dairy farm and am still haunted by their obvious grief, cries which went on all night.

The babies are transported, hungry and terrified, to slaughter or, if female, may replace their exhausted mothers. Often lame and suffering from mastitis, dairy cows are “spent” and sent for slaughter at around five to seven years old, less than a quarter of their potential life span.

Perhaps some customers will be shamed by the thought that for a fleeting taste, living, feeling beings like Schvitzy are denied all hope and joy in life – and are ultimately denied life itself.

We urge Etica to go a step further and add videos showing the truth about the abuse of cows, which we will gladly supply to them.

We’re told 220 Wagga carnivores are needed to taste-test steak at the Graham Centre.” (High steaks: Researchers call for beef taste testers, 29/9) 

Interestingly, the quote pictured on the wall – behind the plate of steak - is by a vegetarian, George Bernard Shaw.

Another of Shaw's quotes – which I'm guessing won't be displayed - is, "while we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?"
