Butter Back On Menu
At least in Upper Hutt, lovers of pure butter can resist resisting buying butter because it has expanded in price beyond their budget.
PaknSave, Upper Hutt this week and for the last two weeks has been selling one brand of 500g pure butter for $4.99 and another brand at $5.02.
With butter unlike some other dairy products, the brand seems to make little or no difference to me with taste and longevity than the more expensive brands.
I am temporarily at least, out of the market for semi-soft 500g pure butter because PaknSave, UH is selling them for over $10 and no doubt at other supermarkets even dearer.
Whilst on the subject of dairy - yesterday bought a 1kg block of cheese for under $10 from the same PaknSave.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

IRELAND & ENGLAND PLAY GAMES WITH NZ ANTHEM
England got it wrong last Saturday week in the All Blacks - England rugby test, Now it was Ireland's turn yesterday.
The band at Aviva Park played only the first verse of our national anthem whereas it is practice to play the first two - the Maori version and the English-speaking first verse ( of six versus I might add).
Yet the band had played two separate versions of the Ireland national anthems.
At the England-NZ match, England had a vocalist sing to the piped music of God Save The King but didn't do the same for NZ.
Which was worse in a civility case - England gets my pick.
