Beware Countdown Cream
Bought a bottle of cream from Countdown Nelson on my way home from Berrylands. Opened it up and it was just not 'fresh' (as the label claimed) it was off. Rang the store to suggest they take it off the shelf to be offered a refund (which at $2 I could not be bothered with) and a strong reply they would not be taking it off the shelf. Accepting it might just be my one bottle but noting they had simply dozens on the shelf I suggested Bridget, the manager I was talking to, just go down and try one random bottle and if it was crook like my bottle then remove them all. Bridget was adamant she would not and told me she was too busy to deal with my complaint and hung up. If you want fresh cream this season BEWARE COUNTDOWN CREAM.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
