Countdown Regent - 10-15 people waiting, it didn't take long to get in. And it didn't take long to get out. With wholegrain oats, and some nice cheeses.



New World Regent - maybe 30 people waiting outside. Wait was a little longer than 10 minutes, but no more than 15. Checkout was really fast.


I can't post from my phone, so had to wait to get home to the computer. Hope this gives you some idea though ....

It amounts to a Government not interested in providing a service. The systems they have set up are ridiculously difficult to access and heaven help anyone taking more than two tries to log in. They will cite security reasons but really it is merely a farce = they would be much better off hiring more staff! Oh the joy when one eventually manages to speak to a real person! I am sick to death of it. I finally sorted out Real Me recently by waiting to speak to a 'real person'on thee phone the next day! No business could run this way, they would lose customers! It is time some data expert looked into the two strikes and your out for 15 mins at the very least. Now I have been shut out from My IRD in attempting to make a claim for donations! Couldn't even access through Real Me so where is the service? My rant for the day.

Culvert pipe wanted

Joe & Gaylene from Hikurangi Coastal

I'm looking for a small culvert pipe to put under metal soon to be laid in a gateway - cannot afford much and only has to be about 12'-13'long and smallish diameter. Hikurangi area preferably but will look at further afield.
