A Tauranga woman was recently left with a sharp taste in her mouth after finding a needle in a capsicum. The needle scratched her tongue but luckily did not do any serious damage. Police and MPI are investigating the incident.
Although a needle was also found in a strawberry in Geraldine this week, MPI currently believe they are isolated incidents.
The public are being urged to report anything out of the ordinary to the retailer or MPI.

Very misleading as selling values are still the same as the day before this ambiguous heading. Comparable recent sales over the last 6 mths are the best guideline, (as registered valuers use in their reports.)
Yes some homes will reach their new CV (rateable value) if selling but a high % will not.The main reason being there is no site inspection in the CV process - it is a mass computer average not allowing for the fact that each property is unique in its condition.
BOP Times very much in denial when I questioned their journalistic integrity over this article.
