cheaper in Auckland

Good if you can afford it Ken...I know it annoys you me saying that it is cheaper up there.

I have to say though Napier is the prettiest town I have been in. Auckland is the weediest - and that was in the news once too!
Most of Napier, Maraenui is not...but in general every other suburb you see lovely tidy sections, nice gardens everywhere!
Including your place Ken, loved your garden out the front.

You know it...credit to you keeping it nice.

Anyway see in the Herald today:

More competition within the supermarket industry would mark a "win-win for everybody" in Hawke's Bay but a shake-up to the industry is still a long way off.

It followed a report by the Commerce Commission earlier this year which highlighted the current duopoly - of Foodstuffs and Woolworths NZ - was "not working well".

It comes amid high inflation and a living-costs crisis which is forcing more and more people to seek help through food donations in Hawke's Bay.

A charity, Nourished for Nil, which gives out food donations to hundreds of people each week in Hastings and Napier, says it has seen a clear increase in people seeking help during the past few months, including families on a double income and pensioners.

Hawke's Bay financial adviser Nick Stewart, of Stewart Group, said reports had been released previously by the Government aiming to increase competition in the supermarket industry.

He said no new major supermarkets were likely to come to Hawke's Bay for a long time yet to enhance that competition.

"For someone like us in Hawke's Bay we are one of the largest regions by land mass, and we have the twin cities with lots of little support villages and towns around it. But we would be last cab off the rank, unfortunately."



Sigh....sadly true. Where's the free chemist even?? (Hastings, and that recent)
