Happy Friday neighbours,

Do you have a favourite local business that you'd like to share with us?

As part of Neighbourly and Stuff’s ‘Local Likes’ campaign, Cantabrians are asked to nominate their favourite local businesses, and share what makes them so great.

Receiving multiple nominations, Bohemian Bakery in St Martin’s has proved an early frontrunner for Christchurch’s top local entity.

The bakery has been lauded for having “the best sourdough in the city” and “the most divine vegan pain au chocolat.” Their salty pretzels are also a crowd favourite, and the staff are always good for a laugh.

Do you have a place you'd like to add? Please let us know below.

Have a good weekend folks. Jake

Council to install smart water meters ahead of next year's excess use charge

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

New smart ultrasonic water meters will be installed in about 1200 east Christchurch homes over the next six months.

The meters can send information about water use back to the council directly, which means staff will no longer need to visit a home to get a reading.

New smart ultrasonic water meters will be installed in about 1200 east Christchurch homes over the next six months.

The meters can send information about water use back to the council directly, which means staff will no longer need to visit a home to get a reading.

The new meters, which the council intends to eventually install across the city, also collect more data about water use and can provide readings over the course of the day.

The first installations in east Christchurch come as the city approaches its last summer before the introduction of an excess water use charge.

From July 2022, households using more than an average of 700 litres of water a day over a three-month period will be stung by the new charge. The average Christchurch household uses 540 litres per day. Continue reading here.

Brand new Parmco Cooktop model HX-2-9NF-INDUCT in original unopened packaging with 7 year (84 month) warranty valid from 22.9.21.

This is a warranty replacement for our cooktop, but unfortunately this new model is slightly smaller than our previous model (which they no longer make) so our existing cut out in the bench is too big for it.

Features

An induction cooktop works by using magnetic energy to heat the pot or pan, put simply – the pot is the element. This 900mm frameless induction cooktop features 5 heating zones and touch controls not to mention an inbuilt timer and child lock function. This is the ultimate for the serious entertainer and beyond.

Specifications

Power Settings: 9

Hob Type: Induction

Control: Touch

Function: Timer

Heating Zones: 5 (min. 1200w - max. 2000w)

Cooking Area: Fixed (1 x 2000w, 2 x 1500w, 2 x 1200w)

Surface: Easy clean

Safety: Excessive heat protection

Heat Indicators: Yes

Child Lock: Yes

Power Supply: 32A electrical supply

Retail Price (priceme.co.nz 23.9.21) $1,269 - $1,499 (plus shipping for most retailers on the site). Also selling on TradeMe for $1,299 (plus shipping from Auckland).

Asking lowest price less GST = $1,100 (firm as we now need to buy a new induction cooktop that will fit the bench cut out with quality and warranty similar to Parmco)

Pickup is in Prebbleton

Contact Katrina 0212890169

Price: $1,100

80-year-old retail veteran yet to face a dull day after 64 years in the industry

Happy Tuesday neighbours,

When 80-year-old Barry Souter landed his first job in a clothing store 64 years ago, the retail industry looked a lot different.

Customers were not able to browse the shelves but had to ask for clothes to be brought out from behind the counter. When a sale was made, Souter had to handwrite the sale docket. And stock-taking was very much a manual task.

But through all the changes, Souter has never stopped having fun. “It’s the people that make it. Human interaction is what keeps us all going.”

Souter’s first job was at Hallensteins in Dunedin when he was 16, and he worked for Munns in Christchurch for a long time before opening his own business in Bishopdale nearly a decade ago.
