- Almost 50% of us are eating fast food a minimum of once a month!
- Did you know that 1 in 10 of us are getting less than 5 hours sleep each night?
- The most common kiwi stress relief is to exercise! Coming in at a close second was .. of course .. FOOD!

Why is honey so expensive?

Sonia from Parkvale

It seems to be so expensive at the moment. The cheapest I could find for 500g was $10. I'm pretty sure not that long ago it was half that. Is there a reason, or am I remembering wrong?

Hi all,

Woke up at 5am this morning, to see my son's work vehicle, parked right outside our bedroom window, has been broken into. Various tools stolen. Please be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell the following items:

Stihl TS 500 Concrete Saw (orange and white) with an orange 8mm thick blade with the trolley (also orange and white);
AEG Drill and Impact Driver Set in the box;
Jack Hammer;
Angle Grinder.

Feel sick to the pit of my stomach about this for the cost implications of the missing tools, damage to the work van as well as implications to the job due to the loss of the tools.

Thank you guys.
