    Well used to be innocent until proven guilty BUT i think in this case the onus is on you to prove you were not the driver, owner, etc or part with some hard earned

    Gotta love how the system works to protect the average fred citizen!!!

    I didn't think land rovers could go fast enough to break the speed limit...

    Land Rovers are not slow Four Wheel Drives ! They are fast tractors.

    $9000.00 worth of orthodontic work for our daughter.
    3g's for the oral surgeon tomorrow to remove 1 tooth that hasn't come through and 2 teeth so the braces can do their job and prevent issues down the track.
    6g's for the braces
    The sceptic in me can't help but question wether ALL the work is necessary and how much do they play on a parents need to do everything for their kids.Jeez when I was a kid I didn't know anyone with braces,now every second kid has them

    Not when it cost $500 for the initial consultations after the visit to the dentist.

    now geoff lets not be sceptical i used to do the lawns for my kids orthodontist and the poor bugger could only afford $1.7m for his house funny thing was i found out later that a friends brother in law lived 2 houses down the road he was also an orthodontist and spent over a 1/2mil on landscaping so they really aren't in it to make money
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    sounds about right ian and as has been said on the forum many times by other members these people are the worst payers , the most fussiest , and will drop you for another bloke if thay think thay can save them selves $5.00 .. or maybe get a free weed spray

    My brother in Law is a dentist so after reading that I'll try to keep on the good side of him.
