Countdown supermarket beer specials

Brian from Flagstaff

When in Italy I formed a liking for a particular beer brand. Countdown (probably) has the distribution rights. But whenever it comes on special it seems to be out of stock by the time I walk through their door...

Now this might be a case of the local manager not wanting to to wear the full cost… View more
When in Italy I formed a liking for a particular beer brand. Countdown (probably) has the distribution rights. But whenever it comes on special it seems to be out of stock by the time I walk through their door...

Now this might be a case of the local manager not wanting to to wear the full cost of the discount by not buying much in, but it still feels like a "Baiting advertisement" to me. Have I just been really unlucky all those times???

Can anyone with a similar complaint please respond so I can get a feel for the depth of it?

Parcel Post deliveries

My letterbox is at the entrance to my property and my neighbours property has a letterbox about fifteen metres away. So my driveway is very clear that it serves one house only. I have complained to NZPost in the past about this and always been assured that it will never happen again, BUT IT DOES EVERYTIME. They promised to talk to their driver and then get back to me BUT HAVEN'T. They are gutless . WHY was parcel post tracked parcel not delivered at 10-44am this morning but instead to the neighbouring property. Parcel tracking number 159-157-765 and my cell phone number is 0274 898 075 if you want to take some responsibility for your abysmal management NZ Post then an apology may be a good start.

Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
