Burger King stinking up Auckland neighbourhood

Fiona from Henderson

Apart from living near a sewage treatment plant, I couldn't think of anything worse that the vile smell of (burnt) cooking oil 24/7.
I have lived near a rubbish tip many years ago and believe me it smelled 'sweeter' than the horrendous pungent odours that are emitted from any fast food place.
KFC is up there as one of the worst, then McDonald's and followed very closely by most other fast food places.
There should be a law (either nationwide or locally) that you can't have them placed in such close proximity to residential areas, nor should they be operational 24/7.
No one should be held prisoner in their own home by the revolting odours floating around all day.
the days of hanging out your washing in the fresh breeze will be gone forever and as this gentleman mentioned, so will be sitting on your back porch or deck or back yard.
Something has to be done to stop the hideous smells from permeating into our lives.!!!!

The gift of giving …?

Markus from Green Bay

The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.

“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

🤔

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
