Having noticed that every house whose block runs north-south is advertised as either “north facing street frontage” or “north to rear gardens”, Kerry Kyriacou of Strathfield wonders if this is just a case of real estate agent spin or if there is “an ideal orientation for properties in Sydney?

As an avowed yellow peach-lover (C8), Margot McGregor of Balgowlah has discovered through years of trial and error how to distinguish between the slipstones and clingstones before you buy them. “The slipstones have a small point on their bottoms, whereas clingstones are smooth all over. This way has always worked for me.” If by some chance the peach still has some stem attached to it, Tony Livingstone-Thomas of Taipei suggests “flipping the remaining piece of stem attached to the peach, and if it comes away easily it is a slipstone. If difficult, it is a clingstone.”
