Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.

The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!

What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

Excess water usage charges.

Gordon from Halswell

Is this still in force this year?
If it is, is the 700lt figure still applicable or did they review it?
I see in the paper that $600,000 still remain unpaid.

We have also had several bags of "recycle-able products" left at the front door over the last few months. While I'm sure someone means well, we do NOT collect these and they fill our yellow bin.
