To the now "greedy" Newcastle Herald, it's only one "line", no plural.

When some companies decide after taking ownership of a place to rebrand it from its otherwise notable and sometimes historic name to something so generic. Fortunately the locals don't give in to it.
One example is the Sears Tower in Chicago getting renamed to Willis Tower (no true Chicagoan would ever call it the latter)

Another example: Bankstown Square to Centro, then to Bankstown Central
I know this from being born and raised in Bankstown; Centro is pretty popular among the young adults, but you're truly from Bankstown if you still call it the Square. Very few people there will call it Bankstown Central.

And more recently, part of Greenway Plaza on The Horsley Drive was subject to an attempted rebranding to "Homemaker Greenway" No. The whole thing will always be Greenway Plaza.

I will say, some rebrandings aren't too bad though. It just only wrecks it if it's a big local identity or a historic name.

One guy proposed renaming Qantas to Air Australia in the 1990s. Some people should not have been born.

I know this is highly trivial compared to the above mention, but the DPTI in Adelaide has decided to remove an alpha numeric name from a route that is through-linked to Magill. It will be changed from 14/10/18 to a route that continues to Salisbury as a 502 (with 500/501 variants). Although it should still be named T50() due to missing several stops along the way, the western portion of this operation will be referred to as the 110, which is just a stupid replacement for the former B in the route name. It is currently B10 until the 14th. The annoying thing about this change is that the DPTI has renamed the eastern portion of this route back to 106, but not acknowledged the former STA route.

Anyhow, it will always be the 113 to me. In a similar way that the current 163 from Adelaide to West Beach is the 278A from my perspective. Services along the main corridor that this services used to be known as 274, 275, 278 etc. But this changed when the alpha numeric cross town routes were introduced, and after the hills routes had their 1s replaced with 8s (IE 164 became 864).

Centrepoint Tower. That tower doesn't need some company's name plastered on it by an ego-madman.

a through linked 110/501,110/502,110/500.the part about it being through linked for the most part made me think of the old 125(present day H20)and old 580 in some aspects.i am pleased to see the 530 and 578 is back.

So I visit a 'Subway' in north west Adelaide (in the vicinity of the Fleurieu peninsula). The name isn't actually the one I use to address the food chain, and this young woman puts her finger in her ear to scratch it just as she's about to put gloves on.

I know that this is no different to what occurs 'behind the scenes', but isn't it reasonable to expect folks to at least make themselves look like professionals whilst serving customers, instead of golliwogs?

And the above post referring to the new '110'. Completely stupid naming.

• Two admins of this board, and one of them for approving more than three times the number of pictures that are allowed per post.

• ABC & other radio stations, it's "Daylight Saving", NOT "Daylight SavingS", or better "Daylight Moving Time". You don't save, you move it. Better still, make that Daylight Stupid Time!

Thanks to DST, every year we have the same whinging babies get on their high horses and try to tell us that W.A. should implement it too. We've already voted "NO!" three times now. There was a three year trial - which as a youngster I remember meaning I went to bed when it was still blazing hot and reasonably bright outdoors.

If "extra daylight" (no, there's no extra daylight, our clocks are just manipulated to make it more sociable for some people) means so much - then get up earlier. If your job stops you enjoying the great outdoors, get a different job. Or move interstate.

I don't see why 'daylight savings' are that important in Australia anyway during our Summer. It seems it would have greater utility in the 21st century as something we do in the wintertime.

I hate it and that smug dictator "Doris" Iemma extended the duration to half the year, a move that was only supposed to happen for the 2000 Olympics. The Labor bludgers made it permanent

The amount of folks on Farcebook that uses images with text embedded in it to ask their question instead of just typing it...

I believe bro/bother is the term used by a beggar, but it's also common with folks of aboriginal origin.

The sickening cringe coverage of Harry and Megan's visit.
Visit to the Zoo to pet a koala.✔
Harbour cruise.✔
Aboriginal performance. ✔
Selected local dignitaries fawning over them like gods. ✔
Aussie public acting like it's a big deal they're here. ✔
All the boxes ticked every time a royal couple from stuffy England arrive.
You can guarantee they can't wait to leave.

At least Harry has some feeling of connection to the these parts. Meg has precisely zero. Over time, that may change.

Been home sick this week with one vile head cold and sick and tired of the Harry and Meaghan show and funeral and life insurance ads, wasting too much daytime TV. Hopefully Judge Judy will have some stupid person on to laugh at.

Motorists going up clearly marked one way roads

There's signs saying No entry, one way road, even the arrow markers on the road clearly show that this is a one way road but oh no gotta go up that one way road and ignore the obvious warnings just to do a u-turn in the end because you were going the wrong way for what ever reason. We all make mistakes but come on, your behind the wheel and traffic is only going in one direction, what makes you think that this is a both directions road?

Not the first time it's happened at these particular lights, I remember going back on same road on a weekend a few months back and someone else also going up the one way road, maybe it's time we start putting tyre spikes on one way roads to prevent idiots going up the wrong way?
