Do you remember the big snow of 1992?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hey Cantabs,

It was quickly dubbed “the big snow” and was the heaviest snowfall in three decades.

“Christchurch teetered on the brink of disaster yesterday as the worst snowstorm in 30 years first paralysed the city, then caused widespread flooding,” The Press reported on August 29, 1992.… View more

New Zealand’s lush green pastures and temperate climate means our country produces some of the world’s best beef.

New Zealand is one of McDonald’s top ten beef-producing markets and it’s such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZ’s beef exports are to international McDonald’s markets.

We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonald’s Flagship Farmers programme.

ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.

Our quality beef cuts are minced and that’s it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before they’re flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.

We have got so busy with the business, becoming 7 days a week by the time we do paperwork and Shan working away plugging a gap in Grey Hospital that our house has been very neglected.

We are looking for a housekeeper to clean 2 bathrooms, vacum wash floors and dust. Must be non smoker (our daughter is a asthmatic) and be confident with big dogs as we have 2, in the papanui area.

While the business is run from home there may be times you need to let yourself in and clean hence complete confidence with the dogs is a must.

Our property is also covered by security cameras ..we like to be above board and make sure people know this prior to starting wk.

If you feel you could help us out please message or text 021 217 2382

Thanks
Shan and Patrick
