Many years ago we had a Milk Bar down the street and the owner told me that Diet Soft Drinks have a very limited shelf life.
The Plastic Bottles are not totally air tight and that the Sugar Replacements in Diet Soft drinks go off quickly when exposed to air and taint the taste.

you can give your opinion, I can give mine. I will be willing to admit in 12 months time I am wrong but very concerned for the next 3-6 months.

Let me guess, the people who load the truck don't actually drive and unload the truck?

No no, nothing like that. It was more a case of:
The people who requested the transport of the pallet of kegs, didn't want to pay for 2 pallet spaces, so double stacked the kegs. Not a problem usually, as the other pallets of goods provide it additional support (blocking).

As this was the last job of the day, it needed to go to Victoria, so I had to lug it around most of the day, and drop it back to the depot so it could be loaded onto a truck bound for Victoria.
The people driving in front of me approaching an empty roundabout decided at the last minute to brake suddenly for no apparent reason, forcing me to either make an insurance claim... or do my best to avoid a rear ender (which I did)... at the time expense of re-stacking the pallet.
Oh, let me add that the driver probably spoken really good chinglish.
The pic you see is what it looked like when unloaded from my truck. Just a hassle.

So.. all good in the hood as they say.

I hate that the rule for turning into the lane nearest you when entering a multi-lane road was removed. Every time I have someone enter the multi-lane road I'm on as I approach the road they are entering from, I get worried they may not have seen me and will enter my lane. Or, they enter into my lane and force me to change lanes or slow down for them.

In particular, I'm talking about 100km/h highways.

I hate when developers shut down lanes or complete roads at all times of the day so they can have delivery vehicles, cranes, concrete trucks etc access the worksite to ensure that another ugly multimillion dollar pile of dog boxes gets built to line their pockets.

The most annoying thing is that all of the signs refer to "Roadworks" and the roads aren't being worked on.

Councils should be forcing them to only get road and lane closures at night with the least impact on road users.

I have no issues with road and lane closures for actual road works

Surely there's a better way.

Feel sorry for the copper speaking to reporters, barely holding back his own distress.
