Text of the day:
Went to  BP Connect Waipawa Saturday afternoon. Great service. Thanks.   
  
Body sprayer

Re Pak'nSave body spray user. Do you try lip gloss or biscuits before you buy? Trepass well-deserved. From retail employee.
Regarding Pak'nSave trespass. Should have just sniffed it. Now the person who buys it is a spray less. If everyone has a sample first the bottle will be half empty. Two-year ban a bit rough, though.
If everyone tests body spray and deodorant before they buy, all the cans wouldn't be full and that's not fair for those who buy it. It is theft. SB
Top marks, Pak'nSave. Serves you right, body sprayer.
Re spraying body spray. Yes, it is fair. How would you like it if I opened the wine to taste it and then put it back as I did not like the taste? Same thing.
At the supermarket if you spray product, give your kids luncheon to eat, etc, it is stealing, as you have not paid for the product. Some people do not pay at checkout.
Magpies line-up
Magpies coaching staff: Can't you see Buckman ain't no fullback? Go the Bay.
Shoot the HB rugby back line. Can't do basics. Will not go again.
Other thoughts
I couldn't help but laugh at the comment "cycle lanes are awesome". How narrow-minded of you to think they will motivate anyone to exercise. Fat chance! JC
If NCC thinks Milton Road is a problem, try getting up and down Craven St wth cars parked both sides. Very dangerous.
Cabbage trees belong in paddocks, not in town. Does Cr Bowers know how big roots are? New footpaths every 4 to 5 years. HDC has got plenty of cash. Yeah, right! WT
I'm delighted Rod will be back. Been to nearly all the concerts and Rod is the ultimate performer. Glad Mason the joy germ will be absent. J
If cycle lanes are so great, why not use them and stop riding on the footpath? Maybe start giving tickets out to people riding on footpaths. BFM
Why do people get QSMs for doing a job for which they receive a salary?
A miniscule dent in a car at the supermarket when the wind blew the car door out of my hand has cost my insurance company over $500. What a rort!
As a ratepayer l object to paying for public transport when l use my own car. Those who use public transport are the users and should pay for it. True user pays or is this not the case here in NZ? Bump up the fare price for those who use the buses. If people want a bus service they should pay for it and not the ones who do not use it.
