Appeared to be white, tall-ish, thin, 20's-ish, dark clothing with basketball/baseball looking top with numbers, baseball cap.
He took off when I yelled out the window at him and left a lingering overpowering smell of aftershave. Have told Police.

Hi to you all and especially the hard-working owners of Burger King, Clark St, New Lynn.
Are you aware that while you are working and serving, the low life who hang around your back entrance, are coming in with an empty 2 litre soft drink bottle and filling it for free at your drink station? Making a huge mess while they do so.
This is happening on a regular basis and very brazenly.
It is not my profits which are being eroded, but I am mystified as to why you haven't put a stop to it. Locking the back entrance would solve it.

Best wishes for the festive season,
Linda

If you freeze ice cream over time, it will often form large ice crystals on the surface or become rubbery. With some raw fruits such as peach, nectarine and kiwifruit, the colour will change and ice cream will not look so attractive.
To serve, It’s best to take the ice cream out of the freezer.

Ingredients
110 g Caster sugar

3 Tbsp Water

3 Egg whites

250 ml Cream

300 g Berries, we have used blackberries and blueberries
