Hi Neighbours,

We arrived at 6.00 p.m. and placed the order.

The meal was served around 7.30 p.m.

Is this length of time acceptable ?

Is there a regulatory body that oversees customer satisfaction, other than the Ministry of Health that only supervises health standards?

We did talk to the manager who gave the lame excuse that they had a shortage of cooking staff.

A visit to the Tripadvisor revealed that we were not the first customers to experience such delay. They too had received the same excuse.

Poll: Should parents be fined if their children drop out of school?

Neighbourly.co.nz

The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

Yes! It's true! Original (plain) Guide biscuits will be available for a limited time in Countdown (and SuperValue or Fresh Choice) stores during October!
$1 from each packet sold will be donated to GirlGuiding NZ.

While Guide biscuits had been a huge part of GirlGuiding NZ’s culture for more than 60 years, it was decided to stop selling biscuits through the membership so they could focus on the core purpose and activities. That decision has freed up hours of very valuable volunteer time, which has enabled Girl Guiding to provide more opportunities to girls and young women.
It is very exciting that Griffin’s and Countdown have been able to bring back Guide biscuits in a way that maximises benefit for Girl Guiding members.

Thank you for your ongoing support!
