Will someone please help get rid of those Moth pest plant off as soon as possible?

Abbie from Mount Eden

Hiya I'm Deaf & I live on the right side, so this left side at the corner of the backyard - I can see that next door showed this feijoa tree is being crowded and riddled with so many vines mass with on the top hanging out lots of toxic irritant moth pods, it is at the back wall, facing the Balmoral school field - it is so frustrating... I had gotten them voluntary myself off years ago to stop it spreading but it has had returned again. don't we hate them ! Love to have someone who has knowledge of getting rid of them, of course I had googled how to get rid of them but I am not in good form now. I so passionately hate them... it's at 31 Eldon Road. the owners are just housing NZ tenants not savvy in plant weeds knowledge ... arrgh. They knew but they were too lazy. If I don't get any reply here, I will take further action later this week.

Chicken Gizzards!

Sunita from Royal Oak

Kia ora Neighbours

I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).

I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.

If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.

Thank you!
Sunita
