Asparagus beds

Vicki from Fendalton

Hi neighbours
I'm wanting to grow asparagus but I believe it takes a couple of years to establish. If anyone happens to be taking out any beds, I would love to take them off your hands. Thanks.

Suspecting they'd been over charged, Kim Sze asked to see the receipt after ordering breakfast at Coffee Supreme, Christchurch.

What she didn't expect was to read a strange insult targeted at her two-year-old daughter, Micah. Instead of asking for a name for the table, the receipt showed that staff had called their table "Family with the terrifying kid".

Sze said Supreme Coffee's management had "apologised profusely" after she contacted them, but she was still frustrated about how young families can be treated when they go out.
