Want a Slice of Convenience?

Mainland NZ

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.

SkyCity Hamilton wants to get rid of three blackjack tables and replace them with 60 more pokie machines.
The Gambling Commission will make the final call on whether or not to allow it, but now there's going to be a public hearing so everyone can have their say.
SkyCity says the loss of tables would off-set the increase in pokie machines, and the move is part of a broader strategy.
Hamilton City Council opposes the application, and Cr Dave Macpherson said the casino has become "a giant pokie bar".
