| 1471335 | 2020-08-22 00:44:00 | We are under the flight path to Auckland Airport and usually have jet planes roaring overhead but since the border has been closed there have been none. Air New Zealand must be doing it hard plus the other airlines and the duty free stores at the airport must be closed. Luckily we are not in any business that relies on tourists. I am retired and SWMBO works for a bank in the international department and is, at present, working from home. How is everybody else doing? Hopefully the border closure is not hurting you too much.:) |

In April, the bastards.... So his workplace loses half it's income now and is thus putting people off at end of the year. Jacinda forgot her be Kind and Support Local words suddenly...................... |

They do bathroom stuff, they import some and make the rest - like the vanities and such. That contract. The govt are sneaky bastards, you don't see big announcements about **** like this, they do it by stealth. They had the contract renewed every 4 years for ages, right on lockdown they lost it, sorry China now they said...... It's not odd, China makes everything...... |

No idea but he is having a new house built over the road right up against the hills. Everyone knows who he is and what he does. Plenty of pissed off hunters around here too. And no my firm isn't building it, our main rivals are and they hunt too. |
