Glenfield Shops
Last week I took some goods to the Glenfield Salvation Army Store. Parked outside the shop and retrieved unlidded carton from car, took three paces, only to be accosted by two women who immediately began to sort through the contents of the box as I held it! They quickly helped themselves to what they wanted and went on their way. Of course, you are standing there with your hands full and are taken by surprise, and it's all over in a flash. When I thought about it though, it is cheeky petty theft - taken from you, and from the charitable organisation you support.The two indivdiuals did not look poor nor underprivileged, (just pushy) and are probably better off than a lot of folk the Sallie's proceeds help. So be warned! Donations in boxes with lids if possible, and park close to door.. I'll be ready next time!
That way, the real people worthy of support get it.

Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
