Gift wrapping
I was horrified to hear that the fantastic and helpful assistants at the local pharmacy were abused at the Christmas 'special' night in 2019. As a result, no wrapping was offered this year. Fair enough. However, what sort of cretins go to a special night with an amazing range of products at generously discounted prices and have the nerve to abuse staff who have been asked to wrap items? Most of us just waited patiently, having basic intelligence to realise that the delays were because the gift wrapping is skilled, appreciated and takes time. Too bad if you have to wait, learn to be patient, it wont kill you!

Hawke's Bay Show 2025
Something for you to consider for next year. There needs to be a lot more entries in the show as it was quite disappointing to see how few there were this year. Townies can enter these competitions, it's not just for country folk. It costs $5 for one entry, and you get a free ticket to the Show (worth $16) and a free carpark, as well as the chance of winning a prize. www.hbap.co.nz...
