Anyone around here who wants to buy a swimsuit in July is pretty much out of luck.<br /><br />I've been interested to read some of the cultural differences you noticed between Australia and the US. To think all this time I've taken for granted being asked if I'd like the receipt! It is something I appreciate.<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying being back home!<br /><br />francesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-44592715839580469692010-07-24T07:33:57.870+10:002010-07-24T07:33:57.870+10:00Belinda: I've never had them dispose of recei...Belinda: I've never had them dispose of receipts without asking.<br /><br />LOL Tina.
