2019 Annual Lions Club Book Fair at Kohimarama
If you are a book lover in search of a bargain you should be pleased to know that it will be on again, early November at the usual Barfoot and Thompson stadium.
But there's a problem.....
If you are a regular attendee then you will have noticed that over the past ~3 years there has been a marked decline in the quality (and to some extent, quantity of what's on offer) and (strangely) the corresponding absence of used book dealers and their minions blocking the aisles and voraciously sweeping up the book piles.
I smell a rat!!
The correlation between sparse offerings and absent book dealers tells me they're getting first crack at it before 'official' opening day and the Muppet public are offered only the left-overs.
This is not the first time this has occurred. They were 'outed' by the media over this very same issue a few years ago and it rather seems to me that it's a case of 'old habits die hard' and they're now back at it again.
I have no hard proof but on the balance of probabilities.....
Don't know about you but I still believe in a fair go on a level playing field - never mind that we in rural areas have a lot further to travel to attend, only to end-up being served up a plate of disappointment.
If you have concerns or share my suspicions then don't hesitate to let the organisers know, maybe they'll take fright at being caught out and get the message!
Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?
At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).
Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.
