Gull steps in to save Santa Parade
Gull New Zealand has wrapped up an early Christmas present for parade organisers by supporting the parade for the next two years. The announcement follows Auckland Council's withdrawal from sponsorship of the event.
Dave Bodger, Gull general manager says: "Leaving an iconic event like this in jeopardy is Grinch-like and quite simply not on. "We had a quick chat this morning and the Gull team all agreed we needed to help, so we did.
"It's Christmas after all." Auckland Children's Chistmas Parade Trust's Michael Barnet said he is "absolutely floored, hugely thankful and relieved". "We can now have an amazing time next Sunday knowing we have secure funding going forward. Many thanks to the Gull team for such a quick decision and making the call."

Don’t Wash Your Hair In The Shower
It’s so good to finally get a “Health Warning” that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with it… a warning to us all!”
I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: “For Extra Body & Volume”
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: “Dissolves Fat” that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solved✅
