Supermarkets

Jon from The Wood

Thanks for all the "likes" to my last post about expiry dates. Something I am sure you all know, but just incase, do look to the back or bottom of displays in supermarkets for fresher goods. Natutally the shops restock from the back so that is where you will find the freshest goods. Also be cautious of open top display freezers for products like icecream. I have bought a particular product from a particular supermarket that has often had a gritty/sandy texture to the icecream. This happens when it has been stored improperly and then refrozen. I now no longer shop for frozen goods there. There are other supermarkets that have enclosed frezzers with doors. After all, you would not leave the door of your freezer at home wide open!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
