How about $30k for an old transit van and say $40k year for the driver to run shuttles across for a year and see if it gets used ?

Well Glenn I think it's fair to say you've nailed your colours to the mast
Not at all, The point I'm trying to make is I would support the bridge cyle way but not at all costs and not at $30 million or anything approaching it.

Possibly somewhere on the lower-end of inbetween then?
Right so far we've got ...
A group of engineers and specialists from the government agency who do this sort of estimating for major civil works all the time say it'll cost $30 million.
A group of lycra wearing enthusiasts (one of whom clearly has some decent photshop skills or access to someone who does because that cycleway looks great with the Auckland cityscape in the background through the glass) "reckon" they can do it for $3 million.
Gareth reckons it's somewhere in between but probably towards the lower end for some reason.
Anyone else care to hazard a guess ?

Re the Cycleway
Is it $30 million or $3 million ? It makes a difference as to whether I'd support it or not.

That should read "celebrity pork champion" BTW

re: Hosking
He actually claimed on the radio this morning that he was offered the job of replacing King as the NZ celebrity champion but he turned it down.
Not on the basis of the treatment of the animals but rather that he didn't think it would be good for his career promoting animal products.
Claims also today that King has been in the employ of NZ Pork for 7 years, you'd think someone might had said something to him somewhere along the way about the industry... maybe someone from Safe might have written to him at some stage ?
And "everyone" saw that Jamie Oliver series when it was screened didn't they ?

"If I want to spend $500,000 on a Ferrari but spend $20,000 on a Suzuki because that's all I can afford, have I really saved $480,000?"
Did you finance it ?

And while we're on local matters.
re: Westmere butcher, we're loyal customers too but the the "B" rating from the council always makes me flinch a little as does the shanty town they've constructed out the back

a Saturday morning market in the shopping centre car park.
Countdown would probably not be too happy about it in "their" carpark, they're open 8am-8pm 7 days.

This information from Russell serves only to reinforce the concerns about Mt Albert.
