Face Masks No Kidding Matter
Went to Pak n Save, Upper Hutt today and several kids aged anything from 12 to 16 not wearing a mask.
The store not taking action despite the presence of a Pandemic security person and service desk staff annoyed me.
Asked the youngest of a group of three how old he was and he said 12 and then quickly changed it to 11.
Went to service desk and told them - but the two people manning the desk said kids aged 12 don't need to wear a mask. They said they would check up on the others but never did.
Not only are children aged 12 and over regulated to wear masks in places such as supermarkets and public transport but it would be quite sane for children younger than 12 and say older than 5 to also comply as they can pass on the Covid virus just as much as older kids and you and me.
There is an element of insanity about the system that has developed in NZ despite all the good work been done.
Masks and distancing are a must for all ages and children are no exception.
Pak n Save, UH shame on you.
This one was sent in by your fellow neighbour, can you figure it out?
What is first white then red and the plumper it gets the more the old lady likes it?

Same Again Dan
Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
