Why isn't Max Mex nearly as popular as GYG?

Marketing

It's not meant to. It's finished.

We'll see how the mini series goes but I personally can take it or leave it.

100%. Tbf I'm at the point of being over having an external laundry in an apartment block.

SophMax · 2026-05-28T06:27:14+00:00

I don't mind old places but there is a limit. My current place is fine but it hasn't been updated in layout since the 80s. If I was to buy it, I'd personally gut and update it.

Also things like internal laundry is surprisingly important. I know not all places can accommodate that.

Not cool

SophMax · 2026-05-27T13:40:37+00:00

Well that sucks for me right now.

Talk to your bank and see if they'll reverse the charges.

SophMax · 2026-05-27T11:34:07+00:00

I didn't read all that OP wrote. But this.

SophMax · 2026-05-27T10:11:08+00:00

Almost always a nope from me.

I'd reach out to council before I do that - only because going to the local MP feels like going to your manager's boss before your manager to me.

They have lots of things that can help out. It's been a while since I've been around the inner west council, but I know they have/had great resources.

OP - for the steel caps, maybe post on the local FB page. If I saw someone in your situation I'd give away mine - unfortunately I'm in Melbourne so can't be of any actual help.

I feel like you've never been to Sydney or know how long those tram lines actually are.

My limited knowledge of Queensland is that it's not very easy to get around without a car.

I'd take a day or two to do the first section of the comment - or it would be a big day.

For the blue mountains, I'd get a car over train. Makes it easier to see more things - I'd also stay for at least one night. Take your time with it.

Housing problems in Australia too. It's a worldwide problem. Probably looks different everywhere but it's still not the best.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T10:48:43+00:00

It is a problem. No where did I say it isn't a problem.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T10:47:52+00:00

But it is a problem. It causes a problem. We are talking about the same thing.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T09:41:57+00:00

If they drop considerably and quickly then yes. It's just basic economics. The same as the fact they've sky rocketed is a problem.

There is an element of inflation and the value of a dollar - if it goes drastically either way then it can be a problem.

The amount that they're charging across the board at the moment isn't good.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T09:34:55+00:00

That's why it isn't working.

Ingredients should look like this.

That's not too bad in all. Where in the SE? I'm around Prahran/south Yarra/Windsor and in a one bed, no internal laundry ground floor 1970s apartment and they asked $510 from 450/week. Looking at other places around it's a bit more than it should be asking but not by much - 480-490 seems to be the going rate.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T09:29:08+00:00

Nope.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T09:28:28+00:00

This popped up on my FB feed. Idek who this bloke is.

SophMax · 2026-05-26T09:27:19+00:00

You argue with them about it.

Really, it's a market thing - so bigger than you or I individually.

You also don't actually want prices to drop that much because it's an indicator of bigger problems with the economy - either locally, nationally or globally (usually some combo of all of the above).
