Beware Countdown Cream
Bought a bottle of cream from Countdown Nelson on my way home from Berrylands. Opened it up and it was just not 'fresh' (as the label claimed) it was off. Rang the store to suggest they take it off the shelf to be offered a refund (which at $2 I could not be bothered with) and a strong reply they would not be taking it off the shelf. Accepting it might just be my one bottle but noting they had simply dozens on the shelf I suggested Bridget, the manager I was talking to, just go down and try one random bottle and if it was crook like my bottle then remove them all. Bridget was adamant she would not and told me she was too busy to deal with my complaint and hung up. If you want fresh cream this season BEWARE COUNTDOWN CREAM.

Trip to Christchurch
Hi neighbors, I'm going to CHC next Friday, leaving 9ish, coming back Saturday or Sunday. I have space for 2 people and or some freight each way. A bit of fuel contribution would be nice. I'm thinking of $ 40 . Txt me if interested, I'm not checking this account often... Karin 027 2747872 PS I have a Hyundai IX35, so not a small car.
