Poll: How do you fold your towels?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. … View more

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?

Machete wielding man in Countdown

Carolyn from Chatswood

Yesterday at around 3.30pm I was in the Takapuna Countdown store with my 16 year old son and his mate. The boys were at the self checkout, I was in the pharmacy at the front part of the store.

Yesterday at around 3.30pm I was in the Takapuna Countdown store with my 16 year old son and his mate. The boys were at the self checkout, I was in the pharmacy at the front part of the store.
All of a sudden there was a lot of shouting and scuffle. I looked to see 3a man run into the store, through the self checkout section and into the main part of the store. Close behind him were 2 other guys, one wielding a machete! They ran into the self check out area waving this machete around. My on (who is 6 foot 2 and no baby!) said the machete missed his face by a foot! The 2 men swore and shouted and then reluctantly left the store. At one point of them leaving they stopped and shouted back again, still swinging the machete around. This was right beside the pharmacy counter where I was standing. To be honest I was petrified.


When I told the pharmacist to call the Police, he just shrugged!!!

I was told by staff at Countdown the Police had been called. My son and his friend told me to get into the car quickly with them. We drove off.

The 2 men with the machete were out there somewhere and would obviously be waiting for the other guy they were after.

This happened in the middle of the afternoon, school was out and people shopping!

Quiz Night on Friday 19th was our first major event following the COVID upheavals and turned out to be a major success with the largest turnout we have ever had to such an event. Over eighty participants braved the chilly evening to make the event a highly enjoyable one for all concerned.

Our Quiz Master, Dave Hilson, very ably presided over the evening in great style considerable patience and good humour despite the usual Beach Haven banter and the odd challenge to answers. Thanks Dave, you did a wonderful job.

Our sincere thanks also go to all participants for supporting the Club, especially the large group based on the Ray White, Beach Haven Office who also donated the Auction Prize. As in all contests there are winners and losers and also those who came oh, so close. One such team, “I Knew That!” did not quite know enough but pushed the eventual winners very hard to finish just three points behind “Bowled Over” who took out the top prize.

Watch this space for details of our next Social event planned for July.

Regards,

The Badger
Communications Officer
