Admission - I did ask about Blueberries once and was directed to the neighbouring cafe.

Danielle - I agree. I couldn't see much wrong with the speech either.
I'm sure my American cousins would differ though - ones in the Marines after all & Iraq is not a subject we talk about.Anyone else get visions of Ronald Reagans dementia when hearing Hillary recall her heroics?

Sounds like peanuts & monkeys.
James who was the parallel importer?
Not to be out done I was in Dick Smith Riccarton and an older dude was looking at the cameras.
He asked for assistence and advice.
The attendant said no-one in the shop knew anything about camewas. All the time he had a smug "What you gonna do?" smile.
Still looking for a cheap laptop & don't really need it except i keep losing my memory sticks as they're too small.

"I can only speak from my own experience and we were told not to discuss wages with other same shop staff. "
That sounds illegal.
Finsec might be worth a chat & Unite did well for the kids at McDs.

Jill - a franchise may lose money on NZPost, so why do it?
To become the one stop shop where they can cnr the local market on papers, mags, & lotto tickets.
They should make more out of this package counting any loss from being NZ Post ticket clippers to make it more than viable.
I'm not sure the man who favoured student loans for living expenses when a student leader & consistently worked to reduce workers conditions is to be trusted for low profile companies like your cnr book store.

Kyle - An exemption is indicitive of the srtength of govt control. No mortgage required for a Railway house either.
The diiference would be in the deposit you required and even the interest rate charged if going away from the State House Plan thus building your own home was out of the reach of many if not building to govt the prescription.
Hmm what an egalatarian line...
"Until the late 1940s Maori were excluded from mainstream state housing, on the grounds that their presence would allegedly 'lower the tone' of state housing communities and because few could afford the rent."

I realise this just intrests me but here goes ...
Otara St Fendalton State House is Jerry Brownlees office. Mandeville St was called Chinamens Lane and leads directly onto the new Buddhist Centre on Riccarton Road (great moon cakes & rose nip tea). This is the same street that the Asian student had the home invasion and got bashed up.http://library.christchurch.org.nz/Heritage/LocalHistory/Fendalton/statehouse.asp

We've talking 1950s NZ.
It was the difference between building and not building. And they would stop you from building an igloo to live in.http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/construction-and-sale-of-state-houses-1938-2002
In addition to the capitalisation of the family benefit for a deposit. If you wanted to build your own you needed to follow the prescribed plan or your mortgage would not be approved.

Kyle - (see the bottom of pg8)
The Govt openly endorsed the State house model building and discouraged anything else for privately built houses .
