Geffrey from Strathmore Park

Today as I went through to pay, the very polite cashier said $99 and I said to him that seems to be too much, however he took my $99 and I said I will check receipt and I did guess what. So he missed the 4 nectarines but charged me $36 for a fruit platter which I never bought. Annie fixed it all up… View moreToday as I went through to pay, the very polite cashier said $99 and I said to him that seems to be too much, however he took my $99 and I said I will check receipt and I did guess what. So he missed the 4 nectarines but charged me $36 for a fruit platter which I never bought. Annie fixed it all up for me but here is the warning EVERYONE. Check your receipts is imperative I think and how many other mistakes are made if you don't check.
I phboned management very apologetic but think more care needs to be taken tha we the custome do not pay for something we never bought. so today a BIG BOO BOO BOO for NEW WORLD Miramar Geoff

What do you think of the new NZ police armour?

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.

For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!
