Good afternoon from a blue sky but very chilly day in the bay .I have noticed the sparrows seem to have disappeared I presumed they had all moved because so many huge trees have gone from our lovely street .Can’t understand why people buy in this street which is known for its trees and then chop them down -
My son is a good bloke - looks like a taller Tom Cruise - remember when he was a teenager we went in to hire his suit for a school ball and the young girl wrote her phone number on the receipt - we often laughed about that but he decided when he was 7 at primary school who he was going to marry -they went off to different high schools then different universities but they were like fish and chips - have been happily married 20 years and have two lovely kids .My Dad was an excellent example he sold a huge business that he started with his 200 pound payment after the war - when he sold he gave a huge chunk to the city to build a sports arena - only stipulation it had to be in walking distance of the lower decile side of town so all kids could use it - my husband often used to say to the kids not to forget to stop and smell the roses there is no point being the richest man in the cemetery .I was disappointed when ComCom announced the findings of their recent 2year enquiry into the duopoly - in 2022 all the covenants on land were lifted but ComCom chose to announce last week that they had found the covenants were anti competitive- funny thing is Chemist Warehouse have a covenant on land opposite his shop and he can’t alter or increase the size of his chemist shop - but ComCom finally admitted their claims of excess profit and the million dollar a day was incorrect but unfortunately TV1 decided not to report that just the 2022 removal of the covenants
Two of my nephews bought a van and a few tools and set themselves up as fixers of state houses - they made an incredible amount of money over the last 5 years - a $10,000 job would be allocated to them with no checks done to even see what work was needed - sometimes it would be just a smashed door lock - anybody who thinks housing NZ doesn’t need a good shake up is dreaming -my brother the builder made millions building Kiwibuild homes - my uncle with the motels made gazillions - not sure why ComCom put out the misinformation about supermarket profitability but I guess they admitted they were wrong - Robie would have made more investing the money - would love to tell you what he pays Fonterra for milk or cheese
