Recently needed a computer printing machine cartridge checked. But the only shop in Upper Hutt who was doing this for years has closed up completely so one now has to go to Lower Hutt or Wellington to find out if new cartridges re-filled cartridges are needed or if the printer is misreading it/ not functioning correctly.
There is still the Newbolds used goods store in Upper Hutt that will provide new cartridges or at least order one in but doesn't have the equipment to check things out nor sell or discuss printers etc.
This is a bit like shoe etc repairs. The only experienced shoe etc repairer in the Upper Hutt CBD retail strip moved to the Wairarapa a couple of years ago leaving a controversial shoe repair operation in The Mall as the sole service in that realm. That repairer wanted $40 from me to glue the front piece of a clean shoe stating he had to clean the shoe first whereas a shoe repairer in Lower Hutt charged me an acceptable $10.
But a step up is the new upmarket butchery-deli shop in Upper Hutt's CBD which has replaced a former cheap butchery that was in the same locality. Wow, beautiful cuts and quality of meat (eg lamb chops that are all but devoid of fat and bone) , marvellous flavours and types of sausages, family size pies out of this world but actually made in Waterloo, variety of cheeses from all over the universe etc etc
This deli flies in the face of an UH City Councillor who advised me that Upper Hutt CBD wasn't for expensive or boutique.

"A couple of days ago I just spent some time watching a blackbird hovering around our grapevine and helping herself to the juicy grapes. I was fascinated at how adept she was at skinning them too! I got a that shot showed a skinless grape, which I thought she would swallow, but she dropped it like a hot potato and ate the skin instead."

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.
Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.
Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

Musical Director of both choirs Joanne Roelofs has been planning this for a while. "Originally planned for 2021 and postponed twice because of Covid-19 it seems fitting that this concert is the first of the Hutt Valley Singers 90th Anniversary concert series. The adult choir supported the
beginnings of the major Minors Children’s choir and when the two choirs come together it’s a big exciting sound. Each choir has their own songs and the combined ones will be a highlight and lots of fun” says Joanne.
On the programme are songs from a range of Disney Movies including The Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Moana, Aladdin and more. Expect a bit of Disney Magic and surprises too!
Tickets to the concert being held at St Hilda’s Church Hall 35 Cruickshank Road are $15 for adults, $10 for senior/students and $5 for children under 12.
Tickets available online at majorminors.org.nz...
Limited door sales available.
