Wow. I only buy free- range. Looked closely at the details on the cartons of eggs and they all stated "Caged Eggs"
Rip off, false advertising, Must be a law/regulation or two broken here.
Anyway came away with a carton of 10 genuine range free eggs for $7.50. But not before I had torn the erroneous sign up.

What UH is getting is a new large housing estate nearby the Trentham Racecourse. And I would like to see apartment-type accommodation inside UH's CBD and greater CBD areas.
