PMP Limited - Taking over the Western Leader Paper Run

Matt from Henderson

This is to all people who have had a paper run with the Western Leader for only a little while or done this for many years

PMP Limited is now the company taking over the paper run as well as their own junk mail or advertising. I received a letter from Western Leader or Stuff (what it is called now) saying now that PMP Limited will now take over the distribution of paper now. The last paper delivery will be the October the 11th and you will get your last pay on the 17th October including annual pay.

Stewart Hopper has written a post here about Kids losing their Jobs for Western Leader. Obviously I'm no kid. I'm in my 30's so to speak. Now I understand that we are living in digital age where information is going more online on Ipads, laptops etc but the older people still like to get a paper and I am meaning the elderly. I wonder what's going to happen to these folk who will still like to get a paper every week?

I think there will be complaints about papers not being delivered. This is just my own personal opinion. You can't just cancel the paper deliveries and transfer the newspapers to another company and everything will be "hunky dory" so to speak. If anyone is still doing the Western Leader or any of the other runs like the North Shore times or others, let me know about this. It will effect every Aucklander who has being doing a paper run in their areas.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
