Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Good evening, you said, and welcome, how are you. I
hope you're good. My name is Marcus. I'll be here
till midnight tonight, and I hope it's with us as
gorgeous as where you are, as is where I am.
So that's nice to know. Anyway, numbers eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. Couple things to talk about. First off,
I don't often do that. I just want to revisit
the topic we finished with last night because I've talked

(00:33):
to people about it today and their reactions are all
kind of similar. It was a call that rang last
night after eleven o'clock. I don't know what name might
have been. Sue. She's in Livin, or lives close to
liv In. She went to the live in Pack and
Save sometime recently, and she's a slow shopper. There's five

(00:56):
in the family. She's a slow shopper, right, So she
went to the car barge. It's one of those small
pack and saves. It's a Pack and Save Express or something,
not like the big ones. So she went to Pack
and Save and she shopped and she's what she always does.
She's a thorough shopper. She's a label reader. So she
went around the shop and she did her shop, and

(01:17):
she spends fortnightly between three and five hundred dollars. Will
that be one trolley or two? She might be a
double trolleyer. So around she goes bit of this, bit
of that. Oh that was good, I'll buy some of that.
And she went at a shop like she does. She's
fairly organized.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
She's not a budget but she's she's considered with what
she purchases. And then she left and went to her car,
and then she went home. However, she since received a
parking ticket for eighty five dollars for overstaying her sixty

(01:54):
minute limit at that car park. I don't know about
laws or torts or whatever. I would have thought. If
you're going to pack and save to shop, you are
protected for as long as you are going to shop
at that shop. If it takes you seventy minutes, you're
good because you're only there. Okay, if you decide to
go and see the optometrists down the road and have

(02:15):
a pumpkin latte for Halloween next door, yeah, fair enough.
You get pinged. But if you're at that shop for
sixty five seventy minutes, to me, that's where you should
be allowed to park. Now, there is a sign with
small riding that says sixty minute limit. I never look
at those. I'm not a slow shopper, but if I
was a slow shopper, I would think, wow, I'm just

(02:37):
going to take how long it takes. Because it's the
car park for their customers. That's the port of the
car park. The port of their car park is for
customers to go there and park there while they go shopping.
So I want to know where you sit on this
because the fact that I've revisited it tonight means I

(02:59):
am slightly outraged because I thought the assumption was that
would be the car park and they they would look
after you while you shop there. Any questions, any comments, please,
So just to recap, she went there and she just stopped,
just shopped at Pack and Save and was slightly over
an hour, and subsequent days later in her letterbox she

(03:23):
got a ticket for eighty five dollars for exceeding the
one hour limit. Seems wrong to me, seems very wrong.
It doesn't seem to be within the spirit of supermarket shopping.
And imagine if you had a wobbly leg or you
had my bullet will that is mobility troubles. But if
you imagine if you're someone that didn't get around quickly.
We don't want to hurry people for shopping. It's as

(03:45):
much of a grudge purchase anyway. So yeah, your comments
on this, please, I'd like to take two or three
of you to say what you am. I out of
step with this one because normally I've got a pretty
good register for people. Normally I can tell if people
are sort of gilding the lily or making out the
stories a bit too. I got the right metaphor, you know,

(04:06):
if trying to make out if they're economical with the truth.
She sounded to me. It's truth. She sounded to me
like a straight shooter. So if you want to comment
on that, that's what I'm about tonight, because I'm really
keen to hear what you want to say about this.
So three or four of you on this would be great.
I actually know what guilding the lily means. I think
that's what it means is that you make out, you

(04:28):
slightly make the story better than this I've got that
one right to wear the necessary endorment. Yeah, that's not
quite right. I'm not telling she she wasn't. She wasn't
economical with the truth. She told me everything. She's a
straight shooter and she was outraged, as am I. But
if you want to comment on that eight hundred and eight,
I just want to make sure I've got the right
angle on this. Should sixty you mean sixty or should

(04:51):
it mean as long as it takes you to shop
at that shop? I understand for the people running the shop,
they want to get people through, but also they've got
to honor their people that are already there. Pauline, it's Marcus.
Good evening, Marcus, I.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Am I rate thank you for explaining that, and on
behalf of all New Zealanders, the poor woman who received
that ticket. I apologize for the behavior of the supermarket
for their policy. They are a shop. They want to
invite customers in to look around and see what they
want to purchase, and we all shop in different ways.

(05:30):
Sometimes we like to I just go around the shelves
thinking what what do I fancy? Do I want this?
Or do I want that?

Speaker 6 (05:38):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Why don't you know.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
To the product and you think I'll have a bit
of that. Well, that looks good.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
I might dry that, absolutely, And surely they're encouraging us
to go in and have a look around, a nice experience,
and then come away and talk to it to others saying,
you know, the staff were lovely. I took my time
shopping and I'll be going back there.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
But it doesn't found it no, And I'm a kind person.
I don't want to destroy their business, but I would
think there's probably someone else that's got the contract to
run that car park, and they probably are. They're probably
paid a fee to manage that, and they're trying to
make money from it. But that that's that's ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Marcus, that's a very good idea. You should follow that
up because we don't want to have a go at
a supermarket verbally if they're actually there's a contract for
someone else.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
But would they would be giving them approval for that?
It would be on their land. So they've given approval
for that, but man, that's bad for their pr and business.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
It is it is, and I feel so sorry for
that poor woman. I love to take my time shopping.
It's one of my pleasures. Thank you for listening Marcus.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Love a slow shopper? What's that there?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Look at that. I don't even think she was a
slow shopper. She just had a complex trolley. She had
a family of five, and she might have been from
a farm. She might have been coming into town. Keep
those texts coming on. Three or four comments on this too,
Brendan Marcus welcome Tromo.

Speaker 7 (07:07):
Marcus pick said she should have been. She shouldn't have
got it, She shouldn't have got the h she should
have been nearly show pick and save and it's very
disgraceful what Pickle say done and requests from that level
you see customers brilliant.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
That's what we need to hear. Thank you. Ah, I
don't want that to happen. Just want to know what
you think about the legality. It says sixty minutes. But
with a supermarket, isn't the implied contract that you can
shop there for as long as you want if you're
at that shop. I just thought it was a no brainer. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty Tenadian nineteen nine. Two texts if
you've got to come through, would like to hear from

(07:46):
you about that. Keep those texts coming through. I don't
want to. I don't want to feel like I'm fixated,
but not something that works well the fixations. But yes,
your comments about atually twenty degrees, that might be an awkland.
I'm over read the wrong screen, Marcus. I commented on
the parking to my sister. We went to King's Plant

(08:07):
Bar and they had some lunch meet up lunch where
there's a cafe belonging to the Oh, no, there's two
What happens sometimes people send two texts and they get muddled, Marcus.
No one takes an hour to do their shopping. Was
there a cafe? Did she know? I've asked for all
these questions. She just shopped. She shopped. She's a slow shopper.

(08:29):
But she spent five hundy. She spent a lot of money. Well,
she said, every time she spends between three and five hundred.
Would that be two trolleys? Adam, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Here man, here you go good Adam. Yeah, So I
went down living on this case. But I went down
to my local place in Silver Owl and there's a
little carf act there. There's a big sign that just
turned up recently. Didn't read it on the way in.
I went to the laundry met because I had lots
of mattresses.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Sorry, Metro Savers, your doners in your Metro Savers.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Huge amount of Washington.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
You go to one of those giant washing machines and
you get nine dollars dunk, don't that's great?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
And so I packed in there and I washed it
and I sat there for however long the top forty
minutes or whatever. I'll put in the dry now it
has taken a while. So I walk across the road.
I leave my caarrent. He walk across the road, look
at the other supermarkets, et cetera. Because you come back,
go click my geys, and then I go home. About
a week later, I get one hundred and fifty dollars

(09:38):
fine for parking in there for over an hour. I'm like,
where do I go on the laundr.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, okay, kick, so you keep going, You've got more
of it. Then you go on the internet.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
I got I got the I got the ticket, and
so I go on the how do I dispute this ay?
And it's all computer generator. I have to go through
the computer. I can't talk to a person, and it's
going to go to this and argue the point and
there was no agg in the point. It says you
have to pay it. So I did the laundry mat

(10:11):
and I frequently. They've got bigger fuel there. They've got
the Mad Butcher, it's not the Mad Butcher Butcher's shop.
They've got lots of places so you've got to go
in there. And they've got the coffee club. And the
coffee club has a little thing. You go and you get,
but your registration in there so you can last longer
than an hour. But I've got one hundred and fifty

(10:32):
dollars ticket because I did my laundry the end. I
thought I was gold, but I wasn't.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Obviously I talked to the laundromat.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, I did, but it's not. It's all automated.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yes, is it done in a flash? At liquid done
in a flash?

Speaker 8 (10:50):
Yet?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Is it liquid laundro mat?

Speaker 2 (10:52):
I don't know what the name is. It's one of
those big ones that had to dig tumblers and stuff.
But there's no signs on the wall, there's no person there,
and obviously somebody comes and closes it half to late
hours and stuff. But it cost me one hundred and
fifty dollars above and beyond my washing.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's crazy. Yeah, I'm not happy to hear that, Adam.
We'll get more stories like this. It's all good, John,
AT's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 8 (11:13):
Yeah, well, you know what I reckon, Marcus, she should
somebody should get in touch with that supermarket and that
lady should get the eighty fi hundred dollars off at
the next grocery bill. So I'd be picking them to
do as I'd.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Be doubling it. I'd be doubling it. And one only
that I reckon she should be down there when they
reveal the sign that's been changed from sixty minutes to
ninety or one hundred and twenty.

Speaker 8 (11:36):
Oh, it's disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. It's not how to win
seas lives people, for sure.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, see you sound reasonable, John. And people got to
small towns for that quiet, slower sense of life, don't they.

Speaker 8 (11:49):
It's the sort of an outing, and she may really
enjoy doing that and slowly sort of you know, it
may be an outing for her, but if it's three
to five hundred dollars, it's.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
A lot of money to walk away from. And in Laverne,
I mean, you know, jeepers creepers. I'm doing a tough Oh, Nicki,
it's Marcus. Good evening. Welcome your heights, Marcus.

Speaker 9 (12:17):
Hi.

Speaker 10 (12:18):
Yeah, I just wanted to tell you about the time
we went shopping at Sylvia Park and we part there
for like four hours, and when I went to the car,
there was an eighty dollars parking ticket. So I went
back in and challenged it.

Speaker 9 (12:31):
I took them all the.

Speaker 10 (12:32):
Receipts and showed them that I had actually been there
shopping and we'd had lunch the four hours, and they
did wave it. So you can challenge them.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
So where were you at the four hours?

Speaker 10 (12:42):
We were just shopping all around Sylvia Park.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
We walked around, Oh yeah, okay, okay, Soviet, Yeah, okay.
It easy to spend four hours at Sylvia Park exactly.

Speaker 10 (12:50):
Yeah, but yeah, they did wave it once. We showed
them all the receipts and challenged don't.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, who did you go to at Sylvia Park.

Speaker 10 (12:57):
I went to the service desk and took all my
receipts physically went to see them.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Okay, appreciate that. That's good advice, Nicky. Thank you. Riot's
Marcus good evening.

Speaker 11 (13:08):
Yes evening, Marcus, I'm just springing about a new world,
New Plymouth. They have a ninety minute parking. Is Tuesday,
which is pension day. We go to the supermarket now
attached to the supermarket, they have a cafe inside the
building and also they just spent fuel and you get

(13:30):
a receipt and if you spend over eighty dollars you
get eight cents a leter discount. This particular day, we
went in and we thought we'd have lunch in the cafe.
It was quite busy, so we had to wait five
or ten minutes for our to get a seat, and
then by the time we got our meal, our lunch,
and then we went to the supermarket to our fortnightly shopping.

(13:54):
Came out and popped in the ute and thought we'll
fill up with fuel. So I went and filled up
with fuel, used the eight cents aleider.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
This is a great story the way you're telling it.
I'm liking all of those years.

Speaker 11 (14:09):
And of course then as you drive out, the camera
for when you exit the premises is on the roof
of the service station part of it, and of course
I got pined for ninety five minutes, and we would
have spent roughly about thirty five dollars for our lunch,
just on two hundred dollars at the supermarket and one

(14:30):
hundred and forty dollars in fuel, So we spent quite
a bit in one hit at the New World got
the I knew nothing about it till I got the
ticket for the fine from the company that administers the parking,
so I disputed it. I photocopied all our receipts, sent

(14:52):
it back off to them, and then got a reply
back that they were going to waiver it. Since then,
the supermarket now has a like an iPad tablet that
when you go in and log in your reach registration number,
you get I think it's a two hours parking so

(15:12):
which gives you time to do all the things we did.
So every time now if I go there for lunch
and I'm going to get fuel, a loger regio in
at the service desk and that gives us two hours
free parking.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
So that's a realistic solution to what's the problem. Who's
the group that you had your email?

Speaker 11 (15:32):
Gary, it's one of your other callers.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Did say something solution parking solutions or is it something
like that?

Speaker 11 (15:41):
No, No, it was another one. I think they're in
Auckland and you don't have a phone number to ring them.
It's all done via email, which is quite frustrating. They
also administer another parking building called the Richmond Center in
New Blimmuth and there is only thirty minutes parking and

(16:03):
of course they have a multitude of businesses butt your hairdresser, cafes,
bottle store, a gym, and of course when you go
in for a haircut, you have to fill out the
tablet because you know there could be four or five
people waiting to get a haircut, so you know you've
got to sit and wait. And the other day I

(16:24):
went to get a haircut. I put my registration and
on the tablet, but I was there an hour at
the time I got until I left the building. Yeah,
so yeah, there is ways around it. And of course
now that going back to the New World, they do
have the tablet there, but it probably should be advertised

(16:48):
a bit a little bit better for people so they
don't get caught.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Well, yeah, how much was your haircut?

Speaker 11 (16:58):
Well, pensions eighteen dollars seems fair.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, how much if you for normally.

Speaker 11 (17:05):
Oh, I think it's about twenty five or maybe thirty bucks.

Speaker 12 (17:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (17:10):
I'm retired now, so we're going to get get We've
got to win sometimes.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, oh no, you've got to win the all minds.
You've got your pension, haven't you. Yes, yeah, brilliant of course.
Just point that out there. Someone has emailed me and
said that Pack and Save Levin is the parking Pack
and Save Levin is two hours. That's from Diane. But

(17:37):
if you go on Google Maps and look at it,
it does say customer parking only P sixty enforcement applies
private land. So yes, that's not right Diane. So that
might have been historical, but certainly they've changed it. I think, Michael,
this is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 13 (17:58):
Yeah, excuse me, but no worries.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
Yep.

Speaker 13 (18:05):
Yeah. I was in Packing Saving Milvin this morning. I
went to the dentist. It's right opposite Razine where I
was as well. I just popped in there. I don't
usually shop there, but it was convenient to grab some
lunch and a little bit. But what I noticed was

(18:29):
when I left, there's some angle parking just outside on
the road and that's one hundred and twenty minutes and
that's free parking. So if there's a problem inside with
the with the amount of parking available, then just park
outside of it's possible.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
I say, there's five parks there, one to there's six parks, right,
I can't see the sign for them, but it's good
advice also too. So yeah, well I think it's going retrospect.
The woman's furious because that's what happened. And there's there's
two other parks alongside on the street opposite Safeguard self storage,
so there's seven external parks altogether.

Speaker 7 (19:11):
Year.

Speaker 13 (19:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
When you say you had lunch, there's not a cafe
and that you bought it bought.

Speaker 13 (19:16):
So yeah, before I went to work, I bought some
sandwiches and so I don't usually part shop there because
it's actually fairly limited. I think it used to be
a shop, right, and it's yes.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
It's they caught it the first of the mini Peck
and Saves, which does which a surprising. The woman spent
over an hour in there. I mean that's what's got
people surprising. But she's a slow shopper.

Speaker 13 (19:41):
Yeah, there aren't enough ailes there to spend that time.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
And to be honest, well, I'm going to take period
of word that she said she's a slow shopper but
I mean we could go for ends and get the
video cameras. But she did say that she's every methodical
shopper and a label reader. She might have diets, she
might be intolerant what's it called gluten intolerant? A lot
of texts about this, hundreds of texts. I'll get to
some of them if I can. So here's what peoplus saying. Curer, Marcus,

(20:09):
we spent six hundred fortnite one trolley we got pinged
at Pack and Save Lower Hut parking two. Our email
to the manager had it sorted, Marcus, My wife and
I refuse to pay a fine from a Hamilton car
park from who may be the same organization what's it
called Dan? Sorry, he's on the phone. So received her
ticket from it Pack and Save. The company is based
in Australian could possibly be a scam. They haven't followed

(20:30):
it up and we haven't been taken to any sort
of depth collection agency. It was at least twelve months ago,
so should have contestant refused to pay it. The Pack
and Save Livin is owned by the same family owns
the Live a New World. That parking limit was putting
to stop workers in the area using the car park
for a free for all day Marcus, This rilesby does

(20:51):
the company not want our trade anyway? Keeping I'll get
to more texts if you want to. Oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two to text.
If you want to comment on this, I wouldn't mind
your impression on this. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and

(21:13):
nine two nine two to text. I'll keep reading the texts.
Absolutely on board with you. Repack and save parking for
loyal shop as this is not on PS should annual
or pay the fine. Poor perception will cost them more
than the fine. You may get in touch if you

(21:34):
want to talk about that. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine two to text. If you want
to come through eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine
two nine two to text, I'll keep you update With

Speaker 14 (22:20):
Depending on like how big my shop is? Okay, So
what I do is I do a fortnightly shop rather
than but I do end up going back and forwards
from I do small shops in between, but I try
not to, just to try and stand the budget. So yeah,

I can be a good hour sometimes.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
That's not true, and so they said.

Speaker 14 (23:21):
They'll follow up.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
That's not true because it says on the I'm looking
at Google Google Maps unless this is old on Google Maps,
it says, and you will have gone there yourself.

smart Compliance Management private lands. So it's nothing to do
with the council. Well the thing you were in the
car park, not in the diagonal parking.

Speaker 14 (23:52):
No, no, actually in the car park up against the building.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, what's private land? Is nothing to do with the council.

So we'll find out what happens from on you.

Well, I don't ask me to do that. We've had
got me last time. Um hm, you don't find me
for taking too long on the radio.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Now, that's funny. Should mention that, right, that's a good example,
you know, yeah.

Speaker 9 (25:23):
Right, mm hmm.

Speaker 14 (25:33):
Thank you for your peck and Saved teams. This is
from the peck and Save teams.

Speaker 9 (25:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
It sounds like it's not from leven, but re read
it to me.

Speaker 14 (25:45):
So the messages okay, oh yeah, thank you for your
for your peck and Save many live an inquiry. We
appreciate taking you're taking the time to get in contact.
Please note store stores are not in control of parking enforcement,

(26:07):
which is enforced by the council. Please note that your
comments have been passed on to the store owner for
review and some from and someone from the store should
be in contact here.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
So yeah, well that's hopeful. But what and then you
received that yesterday?

Speaker 18 (26:24):
Did you just this morning?

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Obviously?

Speaker 16 (26:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Okay twelve, So that sounds like it's head office pack
and Save and they're saying someone from Pack and Save
Levin will get in touch with you.

Speaker 14 (26:37):
Yeah, yeah, but that it's interesting because it says to
you that parking enforcement. So please note stores are not
in control of parking enforcement. So is that stores acrossrom His.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Beyond or just I don't know. I don't know, but
it's sketchy, but you know, yeah, okay, hey, look, you
stay in touch with us. So I really appreciate you
coming back for that. That's added even more layers to that. Wow,
if you got anything to say about that, get in
touch please. That is, and so it takes your time
to do stuff.

Speaker 8 (27:06):
We know that.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Now parents's got someone said, oh, yes, here we go.
I've got a lot more texts about this. Where did
I get up to Marcus? I got pinged at McDonald's
and tear it out as an overstart. I was in

(27:26):
the restaurant the whole time must have been. I did
get changed, I did get charge reversed. Marcus, you just
ring pack and safe, say we shopping and provide proof
of the store cancels the ticket. I had cliberate a
new world and got an apology and a vouchers and apology.
You just need to show you're in store. Well that
hasn't happened. Marcus just left the TUCKAPOONA will worth. The
car park limit has won twenty minutes far more sensible.

(27:49):
Marcus has a big sign of the interest to pack
and save levid and blue signs every ten telve missed
other fence alongside the building facing the car pack. The
enforcement is nothing to do with the shop owner. I
have a wonky leg and no problem with the time
limits is that's not the point. The car park is
for when you're shopping there in the length of time.

Speaker 20 (28:06):
Need to.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Be cognizant of how long people take to shop, Marcus.
I'm also in levin their pack and save is very small.
Feel for that lady who've got that fine disgusting. So
what if she's a slow shopper, It shouldn't matter. What
do old disabled people do be expected to shop faster?
Don't shop again, cheers Sue, not sue the show slow shopper,

(28:28):
but another sue Marcus. I don't think sixty minutes is
too long for someone who has been careful as to
what they spend. I'm with you, David King's plant, but
an auto kay gives tickets if you're there too long,
cafe there and ticket for eighty bucks. Marcus with the
pack and save, Gusta po This is escalating, Nick, someone

(28:51):
in a disabled parking spot for going over the hour.
Tell Sue to take your business elsewhere. Marcus, the supermarket's
contract out the supervision of their car park right to
the supermarket with a copy of the receipt. They will
contract this contractor it happened to us and pegins fan
a best regards, David. That doesn't appear to be what happened,

(29:12):
because I've come back and said it's council Land fifteen
to nine Revts. Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 21 (29:19):
Yeah, Hey, Marcus, how are you.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Hey?

Speaker 21 (29:21):
Look, I was just listening into your conversation about smart
compliance and car parking infringement that notices on, like I guess,
shopping centers in large format of retail areas, and I've
thought i'd provide a kind of a contact from a
property management property ownership perspective if you're interested to us.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
Absolutely, yeah cool, So I agree.

Speaker 21 (29:44):
So you've got to realize people getting infringed. They yes,
it is annoying. Yes, I fully respect that, but it's
actually ultimately there for the benefit of the shopping center,
the majority of the customers as well as the tenant.
So before there's a lot of times, which we call
cannibalization of car parks, whereby a lot of staff, a

(30:07):
lot of people from outside of the regions, you know,
various businesses outside that don't pay for those car parks
essentially that take advantage of that. And so these smart
compliance or these apa, these number plate recognition cameras, what
they've done, and that all of that education and circulation
of car parking, and so what it actually does is

(30:30):
that actually minimizes a car park time on site, it
increases vehicle movements, and ultimately the tenants in those centers
benefit from that, and then therefore the customer experience has
actually improved. Now, yes, you get people that do get
annoyed because they do receive a sixty five eighty five
dollar fine, and I respect that, but that's a really,

(30:52):
really small percentage. So we collect all the data from
the centers that why manage and operate, and it's pretty
significant the benefits that are seen once this these systems
are in place or that center, and I think a
lot of the public kind of forget the added benefit
that it does create for them. For example, we used

(31:15):
to manage a shopping center which had New World as tenant.
The traffic volumes after this increased by thirty five percent.
We usually commonly have tenants complain that there was no
parking for their customers, and that often lose a lot
of trade. And we do know that the healthiness of
that center now is dramatically improved and the customer experience

(31:35):
has vastly improved. So I think it just gives a
different perspective with people instead of calling up and being
annoyed about that, should you actually go hang on there
as the greater And these companies, by the way, are
amazing at waiving genuine tickets as well. So and I
want to give you a little bit different.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Are you just listening to the show by chance? Or
you being prompted to call.

Speaker 7 (31:59):
Now?

Speaker 19 (31:59):
I was just driving home.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
I not to give you a call.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
The thing is, though, it's not. The thing is though
with supermarkets there's a I think there is an assumption
that if you're parking there and shopping there, they should
honor that that. You know, you're in the shop, you're
spending your money. It would seem to be incredibly unjust
to ticket you while you're in that shop.

Speaker 21 (32:17):
Oh look, my experiences incredibly So these systems are not
there to penalize those people.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
So but she has but she has been she has
been penalized.

Speaker 21 (32:31):
Correct, So if she goes to that, there should be
a property manager or a person like if this was
one of the things that we manage, we we waive
them all the time.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
She's contact with Peck. She contact Peck and sa pekis
said the parking has nothing to do with them. It's
a council matter.

Speaker 21 (32:50):
Yeah, so what they should do. So sometimes obviously pack
and tape. I don't know which contact would have been
a pack and tape, but if they said hey, if
they're the property manager or an owner's contact details or
they had they go to that ticketing person there we
had contact, and you provide receipt, even if it's of
your bank account, so if your credit card, if you
paid that way and said, hey, look I shopped at

(33:13):
because they'll say pack and save, I can't remember where
at the location was, and then they would honor that
I've never been. I've never had any of my people
call me out or some of that say this is
legitimate ticket then be pushed back. So that's the way.
But the problem is you probably spoke to a random
person that's a head office or that would have gone
to head office and had no context around that.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Reather all your time limits at the supermarkets you managed
sixty or sub ninety and one twenty.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
Yep, so there's.

Speaker 21 (33:42):
Ninety one twenty. So typically that will be stated at
the start by either the property manager of the property
owner or consult with the tenants. It also depends on
the tenant max around.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
So this is this is just for this is just
for supermarket. What's the norm for a supermarket time wise?

Speaker 21 (34:01):
So a lot of the supermarkets actually the average time
and stay can be down to around sixteen eighteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah, but you've got but you've got to go. You've
got to go with the longest time, don't you, because
it's the point of the car park to look after
those people, oh one hundred percent.

Speaker 21 (34:17):
And I agree, And that's why they're so good at
waiving tickets if you're a legitimate customer. But the thing is,
well you've got to realize so like a big super market,
for example, we're you know, up to sixty thousand vehicle
movements per month, and so these guys have you know,
if they are on multiple sites, I mean the data
they receive markets is absolutely huge. So if you can
legitimately say hey, I'm spending one hundred and twenty minutes

(34:40):
shopping the supermarket, I'm like they'll be like, well, out
of our million pieces of data that we collect, you know,
there's only two people that do shop that long.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
It's not but this was, this was sixteen, this was,
this was sixty, not to twenty. Got to run Reeve.
Nice to hear from you. I appreciate your points, well made,
Thank you nine to nine. I wonder if she's self
checkout sef chick self checkouted interesting text. I don't fully understand.
I'll just find it. The woman in Levin packinsay should

(35:12):
go and see the manager Carol. That will be an
experience she'll never forget then, Or that's implying someone said
she shouldn't have to go out everywhere to do anything
exactly Well, mister corporate man says it's for everyone's good.
The council and of Vin have a refleshed building for
the size of the town. So to pop into mere
Bernie Wanden's car park. He won't mind if you want

(35:39):
to talk about this, or there's an email about this
as well. There's probably one hundred texts Marcus. Last Christmas,
I was at inver Cargole's New Mall. I paid for
my parking, then had to wait in a thirty minute
traffic line to exit. By the time I got to
the bottom to exit after waiting the traffic light to
pay another three dollars. Turns out when you pay, you

(36:00):
only have ten minutes to exit. It's a scam. I
have with issues with people exiting that car park Was
it called parking Enforcement Services DAN smart Compliant but compliance management?
It's not parking enforcement services because someone says Parking Enforcement

(36:24):
Services are a division of Wilson Parking. But it's all AI,
isn't it. They're all grathering data, which sounds creepy. We're
not letting people stay long enough to do their shopping.
You're not happy. You might have something to add to
that before we rap off that topic. Wouldn't mind hearing
from you if you do want to comment. Oh eight,

(36:50):
it just seems to mean to me to be bad
pr for a small town. I mean, soo sounds reasonable,
slow but reasonable. I thought I meas'm doing a seven
sharp story following around with their slow shop. I don't
know if someone said, the supermake receipt as a day
and time in store locations approving their rent store. Oh,

(37:12):
there's no doubt she was there. She was there for
over an hour shopping. There'd be video cameras, I would
imagine there. I think they're filming here the whole time,
aren't they? They will know, So that's what we're un about.
She shouldn't have to go out ofywhere to do anything.

Speaker 8 (37:32):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
She was shopping at this supermarket, Marcus. I think it
could be parking enforcement services based in new Market. They
got me at Peck and say Fang a day, I
wrote and got off. I was in Queenstown in August,
caring for a grand chine. I got a parking ticket
when parked in the Fresh Choice car park while shopping
at this store. I'd seen those signs retime. I did

(37:57):
not know the shops took so long finding items I needed.
I was seen to parking ticket for sixty five. Was shocked.
I wrote an explanation. I've never heard back O shum.
It was waived a get touch. You're going to talk
about this eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine
to nine to text Marcus. The poorlman who got the

(38:24):
ticket has been telling a dud deal at Pack and Save,
and it seems the onus is on the customer to
have to deal with the running around To sort this,
the supermarket contracts a parking company to manage its car park.
The parking company uses automatic plate cameras to time your
entry and exit. If you oversay, they send a notice
to owner, often styled look like a fine, but legally
it's an invoice, not an official ticket. Pack and Save

(38:45):
telling customers to take it to the councilor's misleading. The
council has nothing to do with it. What comeback? People
have directly complain to the store manager and escalate to
food Stuff's head office who owns Pack and Save us,
and to cancel the charge. You can request the parking
company to wave it, keep your receipt that your proof
you is shopping, dispute it with a parking company, Complain

(39:06):
to the Communce Commission misrepresentation and breach of the Fair
Trading Act. Fancy Queen got his heart at Fresh Choice
finding all this stuff also bougie anyway here to a
midnight looking forward to what you've got to say? Greetings
and welcome at seven pass nine. The number is eight
hundred and eighty to eighty and nine two nine two
to text. If you want to come through, IM looking

(39:26):
forward to what you've got to say. That as I say,
is eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
two to text.

Speaker 7 (39:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
The situation with Levin Pack and Save, we're a text here.
Every interesting text and Levin's ever been has talked about Marcus.
I'm disabled, but cannot understand how that lady took an
hour to shop at Palm at Pack and Save. It's
only a mini store. Good point, Pete, this is Marcus.

(40:00):
Good evening.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
There go Marcus, so you can put the pillow away.
I think it won't take that long tonight.

Speaker 8 (40:06):
But yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Just regarding about the smart compliance management, we've got them
here in New Plymouth now too. I won't go too
much into it, but I got pinged there probably about
a year ago at spotlight here in New Plymouth, where
you get a whole lot of one next to the
Salvation Army Hospital shop as well, before you could park,
and there the people were taking a van as like that.
Gentlemen said before reeves people were parking. They weren't even

(40:30):
shopping there they're parking in and they're working a couple
businesses down the road sort of thing, and I knew
they were doing that. I can see why they put
them in there, but I think not sixty minutes. There's
too shorts. All the ones here doing the same that's
coming down in New Plymouth. We never had to know
the last year and a half. Two years are coming
in down here now as well. It's the fact of life.

(40:54):
So but I reckon they have to change them for
ninety minutes like that, you.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
See that lady from Of course they should, it's just
it's it's called not to And there.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Is that lady from the that's not not on what
they should be doing.

Speaker 20 (41:07):
Now.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
They're very smart and pinging you when you're over the time,
so maybe they should spruce up their system and have
also a camera going facing into the store so if
you have a dispute, they're very fast and pinging you.
But they also making good money out of these tickets
whatever they're getting in eighty dollars, and it's wrong what
you said. They also they should be forced to have

(41:29):
a camera facing in the store. The un of dispute,
there's me and they can trace the time when you
came out of there as.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Well, good stuff, Pete, thank you. I mean a lot
of people are seeing the stories about their parking. I
don't have problems people getting tickets for parking too long,
but I have a problem when it's actually the designated
car park for supermarket. So the only function for that
car park is for people to park there when they're
shopping at that supermarket. Therefore, they should be able to

(41:59):
take as long as they like without having to prove
they were there or seen receipts or contact management. It's
crazy and it's a bad look. It's a shocking look.
And there's no other supermarkets that have got that kind
of bad press. I can't work it out why they

(42:19):
would allow it to happen. Cost of fish and chips
has risen one hundred and fifty four percent since December
two thousand and five. Chips and fish nine dollars nine

(42:43):
dollars twenty And that's not blue cod. That'll be shark
and rig Do net evern know what rig is? Never
met a rig?

Speaker 6 (42:58):
So there we go in.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Affordable I think rigs a shark anyway, is a dogfish.
You might want to mention that that fish and chips
is now no longer affordable to luxury did they've got
a bad thing? Be in touch if you want to
talk eight hundred and eighty Taddy and Marcus till midnight
All blacks have been named a Tony deal with that. Dan,

(43:21):
I wasn't listening. Was out on the phone. Billy Procter
returning here at Cendral alongside Quinta Pyre and lest find
a Nuku moving the left wing. In the episode of Cala,
Clarke has had the knock on the lock on the suede. Yeah, Ben,

(43:43):
this is Marcus.

Speaker 18 (43:43):
Welcome, you get a Marcus. So my issue is with
car parking. There is airports, so it's happened to me twice,
once at Danta and there once in Awkland. You go
to pay for your parking while you're waiting for your
luggage to come off with them Beyer. So you pay
your parking, you get your luggage, you go to your
car with the kids, and once you pay park and

(44:06):
you've only got ten minutes to exit that car part
And if you don't do it within ten minutes, when
you get to the boom arm that goes up and down,
you've got to tap your card and pay pay some
more money.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Seems wrong, doesn't it.

Speaker 18 (44:22):
Yeahah, well, I think you pay for your parking, you know,
like it's sometimes by the time you get out of
the airport to the car, load the luggage and put
the kids in, it's longer than ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
I think it's a bit sneaky to pay though while
you wait for your luggage.

Speaker 18 (44:36):
Well, the machine in the Dnedan airport, the parking machine
is right next to the convey about where you take
your luggage off.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
Okay, okay, we'll talk more about that, Ben, thank you.
By the way, the aurora is going off tonight. It's
better than last night by all accounts. That's the word.
We'll go on the camera. We have look at the
camera at Queenstown to them into that. I'll still be
like for the three hours. Dars Marcus, welcome, Darcy, Hi, hi.

Speaker 10 (45:05):
Hi marg.

Speaker 22 (45:06):
I have some experience or information about parking.

Speaker 9 (45:09):
Fine.

Speaker 22 (45:11):
Yes, most of them are third party companies. Yeah, the
situation may be complicated, but they are not government the government.
The ticket issued looks like but it is not. So
that's why the banks that don't pay it.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Would those third part which would the supermarket pay the
third party or the third party pay the supermarket. I
wonder which why the money flows.

Speaker 22 (45:42):
Yeah, I don't know, but not only the supermarket, some
restaurants or Dundel many places. Those companies use the CHIEP
or some kind of plate recognition and the cameras to
record you. They're just two fishing. It's a great area.

(46:06):
Not igor but most teble think of this from the
government and the intentional pay.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Appreciate that. Darcy, thanks so much. Forteen past. I've nothing
to add, by the way, as an article for is
in Herold about this free thing with Levin. Levin's supermarket shopers.
So they're upset by tougher enforcement of parking at Peck
and Save Mini, including an eighty five fine for parking
long they allowed sixty minutes. A food Spuffs person told
the hot offender of Chronicle that the sixty minute limit
had been in place for forty years, but only now

(46:35):
has been enforced because the number of cars park it's
fifty car lot for many hours had increased, and then
people that go there regularly saying that they're not happy.
Peck and Save Mini owner operator when Bailey said genuine
customers could appeal the parking breach notice also advise that

(46:57):
those need a bit more time to shop discuss this
with our staff so they can afford the fine. Why
should they? Why should they? Sees, all our stores are
locally owned and operated by grocers who are working to

(47:18):
provide a great customer experience and service for their community.
Were not in this case. There's been no customer service.
Customers have gentm we been shopping for over sixty minutes.
Can speak to with checkut operator, receive an exemption on
their parking to querier parking ticket. Customers can contact the

(47:39):
company who monitors the car park directly. The details are
provided on the car park on the ticket. Well, that's
not satisfactor because you don't talk to anyone. They haven't responded.
The fines come with photos of the car entering and
exiting with time and date. Allows twenty one days to
play electronically, not by check or cash. Gray Power president

(48:03):
Terry Hemingston said he was appalled. Good on you, Terry.
I read several contact people content me about this. This
is just revenue gathering by a bunch of auklers who
do understand our town, he said. One of his members
who was re elderly and infirm went to Pack and
Save recently been driven by a friend and caught the
same fine. She was genuinely shopping at Pack and Save
only because of her age and health issues. She moved

(48:25):
slowly and needs over an hour to shop. I think
people on a limited income find Pack and Save an
affordable place to shop, so that they have the right
to shop there. He said he knew some people abuse
supermarket car parks, but when he isn't shopped there with
some zipping around the corner to the bank, that keep
us for a cup of coffee, meeting people on their

(48:47):
way and stopping to chat. Oh yeah, it's not good enough.
They must take an account that Levin has the largest
portion of over sixty fives in town and they need
more time for their shopping, which for many is a
social time away from home. It's no answers there. They
just need to change it. Put ninety minutes on companies

(49:09):
infuriating fish and chips too expensive? Hm, Marcus, Should we
have the generator on standby? I know the power companies
were on high alert last night with the Aurora on parking.
Sometimes shopping is the only outing for the elderly for

(49:32):
the week. It should be enjoyable. Putting a time limit
could be adding pressure to what could already be a
stressful event. Not very kiwi. I got fish and chips
tonight and warnakat twenty nine dollars for blue cod and chips,
serving for one person. Very nice, though, you see. I'll
never buy fish and chips as far in land. I'll
buy fish and chips only where I can see the sea.

(49:58):
I got fish and chips at the Nelson Lakes once
and it was chicken, which was surprised by there was
a chicken bone in it. That was when I decided
to do it differently, mind you, this was probably nineteen
eighty seven. Long memory, long memory. They are collecting data

(50:19):
of what you shop for, along with your face and
plate recognition. All that data gets sold and then you
wonder why you're not getting the deals elsewhere and online
as they have a heads up that you spend willing
nelly at the supermarket. Anyway, Love you all back in
a bit at twenty past nine, looking forward to what
you've got to say. Oh eight hundred eighty nine text,

(50:42):
Good evening, Dave, This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 23 (50:45):
Hey Marcus.

Speaker 18 (50:46):
I was just bringing up to say I really enjoyed
the conversation with slow Shopper Suit that it was quite
quite hilarious actually, like it's this golden radio.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Yeah, she wasn't caught with the email. I thought for
a while she was writing it because there wasn't one,
but it seemed legitimate. It was just a long time
to get to it.

Speaker 9 (51:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (51:11):
I thought it was some of the probably the second
best evening or late night radio. The best I reckon
was when you you forgot your keys and you were
racing around doing your show in your car.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
Yeah that yeah, Dave.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
Dan's just told me it took Sue forty three seconds
to open the email.

Speaker 23 (51:38):
Yeah, yeah, it was good. It should be in the
highlights package at the end of the year, which you
play the best. So was a could get a viral
I reckon.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Thanks Dave, Slow Shoppers So three two past nine, Dave Another,
Dave Toofer, Dave good even it's Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 19 (51:54):
Last night you were talking about the pack and safe
car parking tickets and you had a gentleman call from
New Plymouth and he said the funniest thing that made
me crack up. He said, Donald from Levin knows everything,
and so I rang Donald and Donald told me all
about the parking situation. Yes, my mother in law is

(52:18):
in a retirement village in Levin, and we all make
a joke that Donald's her boyfriend because he rings her
so often and they yet yet all day long.

Speaker 24 (52:27):
Wow.

Speaker 19 (52:29):
So Donald's actually the best, as I can tell, the
guru of Levin. And if you want to know anything
about Levin, gossip ticket, you know, elections, absolutely anything. You
just asked Donald.

Speaker 11 (52:42):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
And I'm confused because I think I talk I think
over the years I've talked to two Donald's from Levin.

Speaker 20 (52:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (52:49):
No, I'm blind on that one. All I know is
this guy can't stop talking, very very likable, nice chap,
but he must spend his whole day ringing round everybody
in the phone book and Levin on a circuit. I
don't know how often he talks to my mother in law.
Maybe I don't know, three times a week or seven
times a week. But it's a fair crack because the

(53:11):
family for ten or twenty years is joke that actually
Donald's her boyfriend, which.

Speaker 8 (53:16):
Is not true?

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Are they? And she says she's a retirement village? Correct,
Yes she is?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Now?

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Is Donald in there as well?

Speaker 6 (53:23):
No?

Speaker 19 (53:24):
No, he's freelanced, free lance.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
I'll please you laugh at your own jokes. It's a
good one. But how does how does he know her?

Speaker 19 (53:34):
I think everyone in Livin knows everyone and live in
the best as I can tell.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Over the years.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Do you think you get your supermarket car parks all
out because the word of mouth about the peck and
say must be terrible.

Speaker 19 (53:46):
Oh no, it's insane because the moment anything happens, like
I started dating her daughter and within five seconds Donald
and everyone will be running around. Oh do you know
she's dating this guy? You know, it's just instantaneous. The
jungle drums are instantaneous.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
I don't. I don't think I've got a good grasp.
The south of Entucky is that where it is.

Speaker 19 (54:11):
No north of o Tucky Okay, okay, And it's the
bypass is going through. But it's large enough to have
its own economy happening. It's probably it seems bigger than
Taupo Okay.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
I don't know it at all, because we've got.

Speaker 19 (54:25):
A water culture cabbages. The cabbages come up on the
truck overnight for Auckland.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
Oh, oh are you there?

Speaker 19 (54:35):
No, that's where my wife's from.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
I'm in Auckland, Okay, okay, okay, So it's your mother
in law. Is it the rest home and the retirement village? Yes,
that's right, isn't it's it?

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (54:46):
Yeah, So my my wife came off for BlackBerry farm.
So they fifty seven hour pipe goes from living to Shannon,
the Parmers the north. So my wife's very family's very,
very famous for the blackberries.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
Okay.

Speaker 19 (55:00):
So I think they started next sporting in the seventies.
You know, there was quite a big deal.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Thousand people off there. I think the boy racers go
there too, don't they for burnout? Does that right? Remember
that there running battle with the cops.

Speaker 19 (55:12):
Yeah, so they go round and around in circles in
the middle of the intersection and they fire the fireworks
at the police and they get arrested.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
Brilliant. Okay, that's all good, Donald David, luck you a lot.

Speaker 6 (55:23):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Looking who came from old Calis Spencer of course came
from there, and the Lomax brothers are league players and
Rebecca Gibney, star of Australian TV, Susie Clarkson newsreader. It's
all good. Keep your texts coming through. Wilsoe tonight people,

(55:47):
nine nine two Marcus, we're visiting my eighty four year
old dad with his two grandchild. We drive to Thames
from Tatahaw to get snapper and chips and eat them
at the beach at Thornton Bay. Fort chip and a
scoop for forty two bucks, always fresh, Marcus. The reason
why we take so long to shop is because it's
so difficult try to at the prices, whether they're a

(56:07):
true special or not. I call it comparing and despairing. Marcus.
I heard the woman the other night at packing tape
you spent three hundred and eighty five on top. No
way she should appeal anyway twenty seven past nine. Anything
else you want to mention, then I'm up there for it. People,

(56:28):
If you want to be in touch, parking tickets and
LEVI in what if you shop takes you fifty minutes,
but then it takes twenty minutes to get through the
checkout because of qu'es as they don't have enough checkout
operators open. Maybe they need to get some boxes to
pack your groceries onto to load them into the car.
If no boxes, it might take ten minutes to load
the car. Time spent at supermarket is not always in

(56:51):
your control. Here here, could someone tell me whether they
have self checkout? I feel like we need to do
the deep dive on the Mini mart or whatever it is.
It's not good, not good at all. Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty nine nine Text with you till twelve.

(57:16):
By the way, Peck and Save Livin does have self checkout.
So for expecting you to beg your own groceries and
self checkout, that's going to take longer, isn't it. It'd
certainly be two hours or ninety minutes. But fancy sounded
to go to the council. Gosh, if I've done my
show now, actually, let me just check around the world.
If there's the news that I've missed while I've been here.

(57:41):
Tony's covered the rugby, we have taught fish and chips.
I would say that I would think that with fish
and chips, it's very much you get what you paid for.
Interested top cop Richard Chamber has got a ticket for speeding. Yeah, interesting,

(58:06):
I wonder how. I don't know if it was in
the mail or he was actually be an awkward moment,
wouldn't it?

Speaker 5 (58:12):
So?

Speaker 3 (58:12):
Pulled over by wow yep, anyway, that's a situation there.
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty. If this
other stuff you want to talk about, good, that's the plan.
He's a random question. Anyone still playing Dungeons and Dragons?

(58:36):
I see that's big again. There's two things that are big.
One is dungeons and dragons. The other thing that's big
again is jelly. Who knew I've often talked about jelly disip.
I think jelly and instant puddings disappeared with refrigeration because

(58:56):
when I grew up, and I don't often say when
I grew up, but I will say it. I'm older. No,
I'm not older, I'm young for it. Talk host.

Speaker 8 (59:08):
Am I.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
But fridges used to not have a very big freezer.
There would just be a freezer in one corner that
would take a cardboard box of ice cream, so there
were not a frozen goods. I think that's why jellies
and custards were good, not jelly's. Jellies and instant puddings
were good. Head them often Now you hardly see them,

(59:33):
but they're back. Jelly is back. TikTok's brought jelly back.
So tell me the last time you had jelly. I
think people are actually making their own It's quite kind
of she she jellies. But yeah, let me know about that, Jelly.
See some of the images look quite delicious. Hello Nolan,

(59:55):
this is Marcus. Welcome Hilin.

Speaker 20 (01:00:01):
Right.

Speaker 25 (01:00:03):
I was just saying I was in a wool West
supermarket the other day and I was looking for actually
cat food, to be quite honest, and it was in
the butchery department and this young guy there and he
said to me, it's not our department anymore, it's changing.
And also this is going to be pre packed. And

(01:00:24):
I said, ot this, you've got your job and he
said no. Were they going to every bodies on dubious
about losing their jobs heard about it?

Speaker 6 (01:00:34):
No?

Speaker 12 (01:00:37):
Maybe should have been.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Would you say it was again, Noline?

Speaker 25 (01:00:41):
I didn't say where it was. It's an Animal Worth, Yeah, supermarket?

Speaker 8 (01:00:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:00:47):
Count?

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Which was which was count?

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
I've always thought, yeah, I don't like supermarkets when they've
got no butchery. That's crazy.

Speaker 25 (01:00:55):
Oh well, hello, the first used to be fresh there
and that's closed and that's now all pre packed.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
I think that's where a new world might do well,
because new world do have do have. You can see
the butchers in there carving away at the meat. I
think that's a good thing.

Speaker 15 (01:01:11):
Oh, I know.

Speaker 5 (01:01:12):
I know.

Speaker 25 (01:01:12):
What I'm saying is have you heard that people are
going to lose their jobs over it?

Speaker 5 (01:01:17):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
I haven't, but you've told me that, and I'm saying, wow,
that's bad because I think butchers and shops are good
for the customers and for the employment point of view.
You and I are agreeing, I think, yeah we are.

Speaker 25 (01:01:30):
But you know, so nobody's said anything about it, and
I felt.

Speaker 6 (01:01:34):
Sorry for this guy. Yeah, well, no one knows.

Speaker 7 (01:01:41):
Well, they have there up in.

Speaker 25 (01:01:42):
The air about it, and things are going to change
there and I don't know if it's going to happen
before Christmas and people lose their jobs or not.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
Yeah, thanks for the intel, Noline. Grant, Marcus good evening.

Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
Oh yeah, Marcus. Here you going?

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Yeah good, there you go, Grant, all right.

Speaker 26 (01:02:04):
I'm doing pretty well. Pretty I just wanted to have
a yarn to you about jelly. You're talking about jelly.
I was actually just in the hospital a few years
ago underwinter surgery, and yeah, they were feeding me jelly

(01:02:24):
and I was saying for it to producer Dan there,
it's become a bit of a staple in my diet.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
It's jelly. Now.

Speaker 26 (01:02:32):
It's pretty much all.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
I eat because of health problems or just because you
love it, just because I love it.

Speaker 21 (01:02:42):
It's literally the.

Speaker 26 (01:02:44):
Only thing I've eaten this week. Really, Yeah, I'm obsessed
with it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
What's you go to and you're liking?

Speaker 20 (01:02:52):
I go to?

Speaker 6 (01:02:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
What what you're talking session? I mean, I don't even
know what jellies are in the supermarkets anymore.

Speaker 26 (01:02:58):
I like raspberry jellies. Sometimes you can get savory ones now.

Speaker 6 (01:03:03):
But the thing is, it's real.

Speaker 26 (01:03:06):
It's kind of sort of taken over my life now
because anytime I want to eat anything I needed, I
kind of need to let it sit for about, you know,
twelve hours.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Yes, so you got to think you're here. You've got
to be pre planned, don't.

Speaker 26 (01:03:18):
You hard to organize, And I'm usually forgetting and end
up being really hungry for about twelve hours because the
only thing I want to eat is jelly. But yeah,
the savory jelly as well.

Speaker 8 (01:03:31):
Which is good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
I yes, so it's greg It's Griggs jelly, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Usually?

Speaker 14 (01:03:37):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
Wow, I think with those Griggs jelly also, you could
also market Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:03:46):
I was just going to say it's done done some
serious damage to my health. I can I mentione, Yeah,
I haven't really had a solid proper bowel movement in
a while.

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
Brilliant, that's what we need to hear. Oh wait tonight,
I thought he was angling towards something. Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty nine two nine to text twenty two
away from ten. Welcome if you want to come through.
A nice email here. Thank you for this, Matt Gooday Marcus,

(01:04:19):
just a quick email. Did you realize that it's been
thirty five years since David Gray caused so much hurt
and pain in Aramauana. My parents used to own a
crib down there. I basically grew up there. I was
fifteen at the time. We originally heard that it was
someone letting off fireworks and one had set a house

(01:04:40):
on fire. Then later on we learned what really happened.
From where we lived at the time, we overlook the
Southern Motorway and saw streams of police vehicles headed down there.
We're allowed back in the township after it happened. I'll
never forget how much the atmosphere had changed. Sorry to
be a down I love the show. By the way,
I worked at Pack and Save in Napier. The owners

(01:05:01):
were pretty good with parking. They never issued tickets. They
knew that customers were a lifeblood of supermarkets. Got a
dash smokos over back to work. That's from Matt so
thirty five years.

Speaker 24 (01:05:17):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Now someone's posted something from levin facebook page. Someone commented
on Levin pack and say Facebook, can you check if
they've got one? Dan can't afford to shop with your
parking finds a joke. You're obviously desperate for money and
Pack and Save Minilevin replied, if you want to query
the fine, the third party contact info is on the

(01:05:41):
infringement if you have been in store for over an hour.
If there is a mistake, they will contact us to
check CCTV and they reverse the infringement. We do not
receive any money from this. Well why do it? Since
Easter twenty twenty four, to sixty minute customer parking that
we've always had has been enforced with multiple signs in
the car park to allow sufficient space for customers. Who

(01:06:03):
had a lot of complaints that customers could find a
parking space, and we had they must have been couldn't
they needed to fact check this or proof read it
and we had customers staying all day while they worked
in town or parking and shopping in town and not
in store at all. If your own store and you
have to take it over an hour shopping with us,
please inform customer service and they can validate your parking. Terrible,

(01:06:30):
just terrible. Now why I've got an email from the police.
What's this about?

Speaker 8 (01:06:41):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
Now that's really weird. Now that is really weird, and
I can't quite work out what that is. Anyway, let
me ever have a read of this back in a bit. Hi,
Marget's Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 27 (01:07:03):
Hello.

Speaker 15 (01:07:04):
I want to talk about jelly in the back in
the nineteen forties when I had a mother, we lived
in the country, and every time she went into town shopping,
she'd come back with a jelly sponge. Now it's a

(01:07:25):
sponge cake, sandwich sponge cake with cream and jelly in
the center, and it was absolutely stunning.

Speaker 7 (01:07:38):
Wow.

Speaker 15 (01:07:39):
I've tried to make them since, and it's a bit
tricky because you have to set your jelly in about
half an inch thick plate and then get it off,
make a sponge, put your cream in, put your jelly on,
put more cream in, put your sponge on top and

(01:08:01):
try and hold it all together. I don't know if
you had jelly sponge.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
I'm just trying to think. I'm not. I think that
I have. It'd be a long time ago.

Speaker 15 (01:08:12):
Sure, I've never seen them in the shops.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Yeah, and maybe someone else might talk about because I have,
it's not something i've experienced.

Speaker 15 (01:08:21):
Yes, well, I'm going to make a long time and
my memory for the sponge is still wonderful. She didn't
go to Tallenbury often because she didn't drive. She had
somebody else had to take her to do the shopping,
but she always brought the sponge back when she came.

(01:08:41):
But anyway, I just thought, I remember that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
Appreciate that. Thanks so much for coming through there. Murray Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:08:50):
I've never hit her jelly sponge either, I don't think.
But definitely jelly trifles.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not a big I'm not a
big fan of trifle. It's the one thing I don't know.
It's weird. It's just like a yeah, and it's got
sort of strange sort of whisky or something.

Speaker 17 (01:09:08):
Yeah, it's yeah, it's not for everybody. But anyway, my
jolly story is well, during the COVID years, if that's
what we call them these days. I was teaching in
between lockdowns, teaching some snowcraft courses at a skifield.

Speaker 11 (01:09:22):
Do you know what that is?

Speaker 17 (01:09:23):
Ah to turn into the mountains from Courier Yep.

Speaker 8 (01:09:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:09:30):
You go out there a while and there's there's a
ski lodge at a club skifield called Ano. So I
was teaching snowcraft to these Kiwi trampers from Omaru ways
the coast of the reef and you get up to
the ski lodge and it's total sixtieth Kiwiana, right. So

(01:09:50):
there's a there's a zip in the kitchen, and you
know how a lot of these are sort of state
booked houses would have like remove cupboards and and cutting
boards and stuff like that and foremaker yep.

Speaker 6 (01:10:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:10:07):
And I was just thinking, you know what I reckon?
If I opened up the covers, it's gonna be something
like jelly in there. And there it was Greg Greg
Greg's jelly behind the Bourneville cocoa. You can probably guess
what flavor it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Was, Raspberry relying, yeah, of course it will. Thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:10:33):
Marry.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
Nice to talk twelve to ten ten away from ten
o'clock Markistan that we're talking car parking and jelly and
fish and chips. So if you want to talk about that,
that's what we're about tonight. So I get in touch
if you want. If the's anything else you want to
talk about, feel free to come through. Is I say

(01:10:55):
eight and eighty today, I'll keep in touch with what's
going on. Yeah, yeah, I still think that's so wrong,
that car parking thing, and I've gone on about it,
and the scheme of things is not the worst thing,
but jeepest creeper is just just a bad thing to
have done. So you might want to comment anything else
you want to come through and talk about, do get

(01:11:16):
in touch, as I say, eight hundred eighty, ten eighty
and nine to nine two de texts, anything else you
want to mention, looking forward to what you want to
have to say. All Blacks new team. I didn't want
to saynything about that. I'm sort of I feel I
can't quite engage with the all Black shed. But anyway,
any other news stories that you've got, do get in touch.

(01:11:39):
But it's ten away from ten would be good to
hear from some of the other stories that are happening tonight.
By the way, jelly's back, although when I say jelly's back,
I think it's a different kind of jelly. I think
it's kind of homemade. Oh, by the way, too, the
United States Mint has finally stopped issuing one cent pieces,

(01:12:06):
so that's happened. Talk of them a long time. I
guess they probably got about seven cents to do so
that's something I don't quite understand, but that's the story
that's through also tonight. Now they have found out that
screaming is really good for you relieves anxiety. Not screaming
on talkback. I don't think that's good, by the way.

(01:12:29):
So yeah, And a new poll has Labor approaching forty
percent and likely leading the government after the next election.
That's some of the new that's happening tonight too. But
get in touch if you want to talk eight away
from ten, if you want to talk on air eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two detects,
if you want to be a part of it, anything
else you want to mention, feel free to come through. Also,

(01:12:50):
thirty five years since Adamwana. I know a little bit
about that because I was actually on air doing talkback
that night and when I say that night. It was
really the mid dawn show, so I was walking working

(01:13:10):
through the night. But I can tell you that there
was no knowledge about what had happened until the next morning.
The cell phone of the communication was quite different in
those days. So yeah, thirteenth and fourteenth of November in

(01:13:31):
nineteen ninety so that's when that happened. And if you
want to talk about that, get in touch. Feel free.
It was made of that. I didn't see the movie,
but the movie was fairly good. But yeah, do come
through you want to talk about of those things. So
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two

(01:13:53):
to text if you want to come through, and we
are talking parking tickets as well, Yes, I come through.
If you want to talk anything else you want to mention,
so I get in touch anything else? Yeah, seven away
from ten if you want to be a part of it. Now,
let me think what else we've got to talk about tonight.

(01:14:18):
Let me think what else I can throw out here
tonight before we get back into the nuts and bolts
of it. Oh, fish and chips. That's right up one
hundred and fifty six percent in twenty years, which is
really weird, is it? Weird. I guess the cost of fish,
the cost of batter, the cost of oil no longer
a cheap thing, but I think probably it is what
you pay for with fish and chips. If you want

(01:14:40):
cheap fish, it's gonna cost less. Perhaps the increased in
cost of staples such as beef butter and beef tallow.
So yeah, that's some of the other stuff you want
to talk about to whether you want to come through
before the news would be great to hear from you.
So yeah, do come through eight hundred and eighty eight

(01:15:02):
and nine text anyway back in a bit. Anything else,
let's be hearing from you. As I say, Oh, eight
hundred eighty to eighty and nine two nine two de texts.
You've got to come through looking forward to what you've
got to say six away from ten o'clock if youve
got to be a part of it. Another email about
peck and save stick man might have to change his
ads on the telly. What does that mean? That might

(01:15:28):
be something you want to mention. Also tonight, what else
have we got dan? Anyway? But yeah, get in touch
if you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and nine two texts are you there, Dan, Oh yeah, okay,
do to do. Let me think what else I want

(01:15:49):
to talk to you about tonight. By the way, it's
hard to talk with Google Maps to work out when
something's been updated, isn't it. Kind of can't quite work
that out. So that's something you want to talk about too, Okay,
different sorts of Google Maps with a vidin. It's got
very hard to work out when the images were taken.

(01:16:10):
That I want to say about that. But yes, anyway,
five away from ten, the new All Black team has
been announcing. You just joining us for that information if
you got anything to say about that. Their fifth midfield
combination for this Although it's working for them, isn't it.
They've won every match, they must have something right injuries
and the like. It's all about managing expectations. So yes,

(01:16:36):
so that might be something you want to mention too.
But yeah, let's get back into it. All about the
parking tickets and the fish and chips and jelly. You've
got something to mention about that. They'll be great to
hear from you, and feel free to get in touch.
By the way, here till midnight tonight after twelve Roman.

(01:16:57):
Some of the stuff I can tell you no new
measles cases today. The number of known measle cases remains
at eighteen seventeen, no longer infectious. I Ken, New Zealand's
first Ikea store opens in Auckland at eleven am on
the fourth of December. Free tricky when they're allowed to

(01:17:18):
open because of they couldn't open a weekend or a
long weekend because it would cause traffic chaos, which is
pretty weird, isn't it. It's free hyped that, but that's
about to happen. This day in nineteen ninety four, Sweden
votes to join the EU. This day in nineteen ninety

(01:17:40):
thirteen shot deed at Atamawana, And this day in eighteen
ninety six, Mount Tongededo erupts. You know, I think its
erupted many times since, but I'll come back to you.
Don't quote me on that. You might need to fact
check that one. So yeah, anyway, that's what we've got about,
So do come through. You've got to talk. As I say,
Oh eight hundred and eighty toda eighty and nineteen ninet
text here till twelve o'clock today. If you want to

(01:18:02):
be a part of it. There's anything else you want
to mention, feel free to come through, as I say,
and am talking about the situation with the supermarket and
the pack and save and anything else you do want
to mention. But you wouldn't be keen to talk about
fish and chips. Also, I mean, if you're not buying
fisher ship, maybe you've gone for something different at the
fish and chip shop. Maybe you've gone to sausages or something.

(01:18:25):
Have you mentioned that too if you want to. But yes,
and feel free to call you in the news. Will
you're back after the break to talk to you? Oh
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two
de text. So yeah, get in touch if you want
to and feel free. We'll talk back after the news.
Anything else you want to talk about, So get in touch,

(01:18:45):
as I say, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two de text. Good to have Tony
back and be in touch if you want to. Ooh, now,
what else can I tell you? Our top left corner
of every window has the date the photo has taken
ten oh seven. Well, command, good evening, hit till midnight tonight.
Roman's along at twelve looking to what you've got to say?

(01:19:07):
Very good talk about the about the car parking the jeepest. Wow,
what a sort of intractable problem. But I'm sure there's
going to be a much more straightforward solution, like employer
person to wander around and issue tickets if you need to,
and not try and do it absolve or responsibiity and

(01:19:27):
do it remotely. It's crazy, So come through you and
talk about that. Anything I shou want to mention eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty nine on midnight tonight and
also means about Dungeons and Dragons is a bit of
a kind of a side topic for tonight. Just mean
it's got a bit of a revival. I'm just not
quite sure how that happens. If someone's out there listened

(01:19:48):
to the radio as they play Dungeons and Dragons. I
don't know if that's our wheelhouse tonight, but so many
people do that whole thing with video games as well.
We've got quite a big audience out there that plays
video games at night. So I'm curious about that also tonight,
if you want to come through. But anyway, that's what
we're about. Eight ten eighty and nine, two ninety six,

(01:20:08):
looking forward to your calls tonight. Here till twelve eight
past ten. You got to be a part of it.
Feel Freddi, get involved, Kerrie, this is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:20:21):
Good evening, Marcus. Is it a good evening for you
or not?

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
Really, it's a good evening for me, Carrie. Yes, good.

Speaker 9 (01:20:29):
I haven't been listening to your show. But has there
been discussion about the one hundred and thirty five page
New Zealand Independent Peace Conduct Authority Investigation Report.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
There was some discussion about it last night. There has
not been discussion about it tonight. We've been very busy
talking about the situation with the car parking in Levin.

Speaker 9 (01:20:50):
Right, Okay, how about we talk about what people were
calling police corruption or would car parking?

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
Well, I always think it's weird when someone doesn't listen
to talk back and then just rings. That freaks me
out of it because that tends to be not having it.

Speaker 17 (01:21:05):
It freaked out.

Speaker 12 (01:21:06):
Well, yeah, I just on this topic, Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:21:11):
That's what I've called.

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
Because of how.

Speaker 19 (01:21:18):
Well in May this year.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
But you're not involved with this report as.

Speaker 9 (01:21:24):
Far as investigations of the report, and that's finding Yes, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
Yeah, I mean too much for you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
If you're in the report. I don't think you can
be on the radio. It's what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (01:21:42):
I'm not in the report.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
Okay, that's what I was asking about that.

Speaker 9 (01:21:46):
But yeah, now you're not you don't want me to
talk just to be honest.

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
Uh well, well, I mean you're sounding you're sounding slightly
competitive and slightly also confrontational. But if you want to
tell me what you will, let's see how we go.
Ah with this one, great, thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:22:12):
So going back to May this year, Minister Mitchell, Minister
of Police, he made an announcement to the media that
Jevon Mistiming was under investigation for sexual misconduct to a female,

(01:22:34):
non sworn former police employee who was many years his junior.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
Which is in the which is which is in the
report right.

Speaker 9 (01:22:45):
So direct, So the timing of the media release was
right at the moment that he was about to be
promoted to police commissioner.

Speaker 12 (01:22:55):
Yeah, right at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
Yeah, So, I mean it was, yes, So, what what
do you wanted to achieve with this call?

Speaker 9 (01:23:05):
So I just want to be able to establish that
there was political interference in the process of appointing a
prince commissioner, and that seems that we have have been
overlooked because the allegation that was alleged, you know, to
have happened by and the less by the minister. There

(01:23:28):
had been no formal complaint by the alleged victim. There
was no There was never any formal complaint made by.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
The edge victim, although there has been subsequently has there not?

Speaker 9 (01:23:40):
No, there has not been any formal complaint ever made,
and there has been hundreds and hundreds of anonymous information
being sent. So this is highly relevant for the public
to understand that there is no such thing as having
an anonymous complaint. And for every complaint that is the

(01:24:03):
seed that's genuine. You're always going to have a complaint
and willing to give a complainant or witness statement. So
there is none of that in this case. So thank
you for listening to me. That was the main point
I wanted to add.

Speaker 20 (01:24:17):
So what what what?

Speaker 3 (01:24:17):
What's your involvement to what?

Speaker 7 (01:24:20):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
What's your involvement with us?

Speaker 24 (01:24:21):
And your.

Speaker 3 (01:24:24):
Profession just to talk about.

Speaker 6 (01:24:25):
It tonight, profession?

Speaker 9 (01:24:28):
Do you mean my motivation?

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
Motivation?

Speaker 9 (01:24:32):
So, my my profession, my profession is an anti manumalentary
compliance which also includes anti corruption. So when when I
noticed that there was potentially improper political interference by Minister Mitchell.
I immediately contacted the Department of Prime Minister in Cabinet

(01:24:55):
and asked him to start investigating him. And since that
time I'm continuing I've been sending and receiving responses to
Official Information Act requests. And today cent a further one
to ask what action was taking it taken at the
time that I lest those voice messages.

Speaker 3 (01:25:13):
Okay, I think this is a recomplicated thing to deal
with on a on a phone conversation.

Speaker 9 (01:25:17):
Well, it is for meals listening.

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
Oh my god, yeah, good on ya. Thanks for thirteen
past ten. Get in touch with you want to The
number is eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to
nine two to text anything else you want to talk about.
Feel free to come through. As I say, Oh, eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to two
to text beckon a bit. If someone has taxed it through,
she's wrong. The new police commissioners started in December twenty

(01:25:42):
twenty four, way after May twenty twenty four. It wasn't
near the timing of the promotion of the new commissioner.
Fear enough, someone else, says Dungeons dragons popular again due
to stranger things which I've never watched. By the way,
I was recognowiced about the strange about dungeons dragons say,
and I thought, that's going to be my list of
things to watch because it's one of those ones that
have passed me by. But just put that out there
as far as Dungeons and Dragons go, because apparently it's

(01:26:04):
had some sort of a revive. Keep those texts coming
through to a lot of ones about car parking. Someone
said Jenny mcclark's is leaving TV's Breakfast. Will she be replaced?
Will Breaky go like TV three Weekends News, a solo
host to do everything. I think probably TV and Z
is recommitted to the Breakfast Show. They're just probably going
to freshen up with the younger people, I would think.

(01:26:27):
So there's a huge amount of comments about her leaving,
so thinks she's been there for twenty years at TV
and Z. How long she's been on the Breakfast Show.
It's not a show up in time to watch, so
I can't comment about that. Marcus received to seeing All
a fine from Palmerston North City Council for blocking my
own driveway, wrote to them, advising it was my property

(01:26:48):
request to rave the decline, quoting by laws P n
C C R. Gouger's. That's from Kevin Wow and Jelly
Marcus by Jelly sponge make jennydd stand almost set, then
put into half of sponge, other half on top. I
don't put the cream in. Was very popular for Sunday

(01:27:10):
afternoon tea back in the fifties. And jelly I make
often for the young grandkids. You see. I don't think
my kids would have ever eaten jelly, which is weird,
isn't it. Marcus, jelly was not something I liked as
a child, but I do now. Raspberry jelly used for coding.
Lamington sponge is my favorite over chocolate ones. It just
seems to add that yummy moistless and a lime jelly

(01:27:31):
with minted peas and pineapple used to be a nice
addition to the Christmas table. That's from Kay. Terry Patchrick
once said, every kitchen in the world anywhere has a
box of glazed cherries hiding somewhere in it. No one
knows why Marcus I still make jelly sponge my grandchildren.
Thanks Kay. I'll tell you the other thing about jelly

(01:27:54):
that with those jellies, like those Greggs jellies. Oh, what
used to be a popular brand was luscious jellies. Funny
enough is what you would do with those is you'd
actually sometimes make it. And instead of water he had
put in reduced cream. It sounds ghastly and it was
borderline gharstly at the time. I'm just saying. Next all

(01:28:14):
that my jogs some memory. Someone I worked with mentioned
today that it was the anniversary of Adam Mowana. They
said not days before they and friends had been kicked
out of the out of one of the Needhen pubs
by the police when unfortunately lost his life. As I
left the pub, the cop said to them, listen to

(01:28:36):
the song the pub was playing. It was, I thought,
the law and the law one Lowell Marcaus. Lots of
jelly's are available. Blueberries their favorite here, with grandchildren having
me making them for years. The last time I had
jelly with jelly shots on New Year's Eve at Lake
Mulwalla on the border of New South Wales, Victoria, which
is near the town of Yarrawonga. It was hot as heck,

(01:28:59):
well they haven't said hot as sick, and we got hammered.
Thanks Christine. Jelly shot, Marcus. Last time we jelly was
wheny years ago went to a kid's birthday paraded and
the mother had filled their household bath with jelly. Kids
started throwing at each other. Disrespectful anyway, got a ticket

(01:29:22):
for thirty bucks on the open road, dry condition, doing
one await in one hundred case. Please did to educate,
not give stupid revenue collecting tickets. It sounds like a
fair ticket to me. Marcus art a jelly to ice
cream a few hours ago. It's one of the only
nice ice creams to still have the original taste. Pat
I agree entirely. Bear catch you're twenty past ten, looking

(01:29:43):
forward to your calls. Oh eight, one hundred and eighty
today twenty three pass ten. More about parking tickets, Marcus.
I had two parking tickets from Pekin Dave car Parks,
both in Auckland, Ormiston and Margari. They were eighty five
each with another twenty dollars added because I didn't get
the tickets of the post soon enough to pay by
the required date. They're absolute mongrels. Both times I was

(01:30:05):
shopping and I went back and when I forgot a
couple of shopping items. I appealed the tickets and sent
my shopping receipt and the company flatly refused to consider
the appeal. Your show has got me fired up again
to dispute them, starting with the souper market owners and
then food stuffs. If I have no joy, thank you
for the inspiration and the great show. Michelle.

Speaker 6 (01:30:25):
Just on that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
I am of the belief that an invert cargol. We
haven't got that happening here yet. I've certainly never received
any fine from a car park, and I probably have
been guilty of using the car park as a car
park to go to other events because pack and say

(01:30:47):
it was just across the road from the Civic Theater.
So I don't know if that's happening down here. But
then again, I don't think I've had more than sixty minutes.
I'm a thorough shopper at a quick shoper. I'm always
going in to get not many goods. So anyway, that's
all about that. But need your calls tonight. We did

(01:31:08):
well in the first two hours and now we're back
at it if you want to talk on air, But yes,
I'd rather people ring up and talk about what well
they would talk about anything. I don't want to. I
don't want to cureate people. It's always weird when people
ring up and they've just not listened to the show.
But I suppose that's part of the service service we provide.
Max here driving the bus until midnight with radio over

(01:31:29):
the speakers about the case of parking times at the supermarket. Personally,
I think they should have no time limit, but instead
have smart cameras which watch people leave their cars and
return to their cars. They don't need anythink fancy or
evasive like facial recognition, just track to make sure people
leaving cars at least one goes to the supermarket, and
then tracks that just before a car leaves, at least

(01:31:53):
one person is coming directly from the supermarket. It's not
the supermarket's job provide free shopping for the entire town,
so tracking down would be an easy solution. As for
Dungeons and Dragons, well, Netflix is about to release seasons
of Stranger Things season four. Many people are rewatching the
first three seasons and remembering D and D from there.
What is popular is magic the gathering. Every time I

(01:32:15):
drive past the game stores, which look they which does,
which they do? In the evenings. Most of the seats
look full. Marcus been a Spark customer for over fifty years.
Got an email saying email service is going up, no
loyalty to their customer. Merry Christophers Spark year right, Marcus.

(01:32:37):
There are six self service checkouts that live in Peck
and save only about six aisles, so even dawdling would
take only fifteen minutes max. Apparently many have abused the
shopping limit allowed. Commissioner was pulled over. He was a
mufty current playing cost closed off. The officer wouldn't have known.

(01:32:58):
They would have when they saw him. He's pretty, He's
pretty recognizable. He's got an incredibly recognizable face. Marcus, my
wife is screaming at the radio. What about the additional
time it takes to self pack? Please applease Olivia by
acknowledging the suspect. What about the additional time it takes
to self pack Peck and say should be two hours?

(01:33:20):
Some of those dairy farmers that come in, they've got
their ranger uts and they buy that much stuff. I
don't they've got their farm workers as boxes and boxes anyway, Oh, Marcus,
the Loma's family are from one Nuamatta, not Levin along

(01:33:41):
with Pittyweepoo and Me and Ken Laban. Well they're on
the old website for Livin. They must have moved anyway,
Looking forward to your calls if you got to talk
about a money as Marcus had twelve o'clock, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty nineteen ninety to text. Jelly cream
sponges are sold at New world souper marked and need
and beautiful jelly can be free helpful in other ways.

(01:34:04):
I have trouble setting. I was having trouble sitting marmalade
once and used a lemon jelly, which did the trick.
So there we go. Anyway, any other break and us
you've got let us know what that is. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine text feel free
to come through anything else you want to mention that

(01:34:24):
they'd be good to hear from you.

Speaker 16 (01:34:26):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
I'm kind of interested in fish and chips at the top,
but I don't really know what to say about it.
But what they are saying is it's gone up one
hundred and fifty percent in price since December two thousand
and five. Well not as much as butter compliance labor
and goods beef butter and beef tallow contribute to a

(01:34:52):
higher price. Also, bran oil has doubled in price, So
I guess the question is as anyone used to get
fish and chips are now given up because of the price,
scoop of fish, scoop of chips and fish nine dollars
twenty we probably what a big met cost which is
probably the same. There's probably parody, so yeah, if you

(01:35:13):
want to talk about that, that's one about as well.
Twenty seven past ten o'clock hit or midnight tonight. Anyway,
do be in touch if you want to talk. As
I say, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine to de text ay there you want
to mention, feel free to come through. Looking forward to
your inputs tonight and any other topics for the final

(01:35:34):
ninety minutes. Flip. I love that Carpak story though, just
gets better and better. John. This is Marcus. Good evening,
do you good? Thanks John, Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:35:50):
I've had a real boomboo today.

Speaker 29 (01:35:52):
I've had to drive eight hours to go.

Speaker 28 (01:35:54):
Past I clean forgot about and while I'm thinking, you know,
driving a plenty of type of thinks, I was wondering
why Why don't they have an electronic passport? And you're fine, yeah,
we need that, you know, security around banking and stuff
you're doing on your phone and now you know, and

(01:36:16):
you've got to hang on a week of paper.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
But you still need a physical passport, wouldn't you, because
that's what overseas countries would demand.

Speaker 29 (01:36:28):
But if you got your photo and you do electronic
at the airport, you know, when they take your photo
and then out, why would you need it?

Speaker 18 (01:36:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:36:39):
I think that's something quite mystical about a passport that
book with all the special paper in the photo. I
don't know if any countries have done. Have have you
done any research?

Speaker 13 (01:36:48):
No?

Speaker 28 (01:36:48):
I haven't, Margaret.

Speaker 29 (01:36:49):
It used to be, you know, wonderful a home you
get stamped, But you don't even get stamped now hardly.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
You hard you ever get stamped? Where did you have
to Where did you have to drive to to get it?

Speaker 28 (01:36:58):
I believe in a lot of Margarets. I've got the
christ Church and then I had to drive all the
way back to land North Otago back again.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
And you waiting for a flight.

Speaker 28 (01:37:08):
I've got a flight tomorrow morning.

Speaker 3 (01:37:10):
Out of Queenstown.

Speaker 7 (01:37:13):
No driving there now, cheapest.

Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
Good story. John, thanks that now he's more about car parking.
This is from Darlene to Facebook. Marcus. Smart Compliance took
over the McCoy Road, Birkenhead, Jets and other business in
a small custer cluster of car park spaces. Unbeknownst to me,
I've restro. I used the car park three times and

(01:37:39):
was over the limit by nine minutes. Received three tickets
for ready five dollars each in the snail mail, much
to my shock. If there was signage, it was very small.
Spark Comply have since put more signage up and Jets
have a deal with smart Comply that customers register at
reception with car number plates for extra time. Very disappointing
the way they do business. I emailed to try and

(01:38:00):
reason with them, but my explanation doesn't fit their script.
After reading Reddit, they sound like a very unsavory company.
What a way to make a living. Hell's Bells. You
might have your flesh house, but you've got to tell
people you got it from car parking software. Richard says,
my dad picks up breakfasted about three mornings a week

(01:38:21):
from Mirraman. You when a casual clicks lunch in the
afternoon too twice. Now the cameras decide to take footage
of the morning entrance and the afternoon departure, and fines
have come in the mail. The managers get them waved,
but it's still a thirty minute hassle. Why should we prove?
Why do we have to go to a supermarket to
prove her? Honest, it's terrible. Janet's Marcus, good.

Speaker 9 (01:38:43):
Evening, Hi there, Marcus. I remember when I was at
primary school we used to pay a shilling to buy
fish and chips per lunch, and it was a lovely
big piece of fish and lots of yummy chips. One shilling,

(01:39:05):
which would you?

Speaker 3 (01:39:07):
Could you tell me how long it would take to
earn one shilling for some sort of comparison.

Speaker 9 (01:39:13):
Well, one shilling, I guess is the equivalent of a dollar.

Speaker 3 (01:39:16):
Yeah, but how long would it take to earn that?
If you're bailing, Hay?

Speaker 14 (01:39:25):
Who's bailing?

Speaker 15 (01:39:26):
Hay.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
I'm trying to work out what happens.

Speaker 5 (01:39:35):
Now.

Speaker 9 (01:39:35):
I'm having a wif for some laughter, failing Hay going,
I think she comes out.

Speaker 3 (01:39:44):
Well, I just can't work out if a shilling is
cheap or not.

Speaker 16 (01:39:49):
Cheap.

Speaker 9 (01:39:50):
Well, you know, one chilling we're giddish killing each from
our mother. And with that you could buy a pie
and a cake, or fish and chips, or a coconut,
a whole coconut.

Speaker 3 (01:40:04):
And your day is a coconut with a luxury?

Speaker 1 (01:40:06):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (01:40:06):
I didn't have the sort of the shipping that we've got.

Speaker 9 (01:40:09):
They were readily available. We used to get the caretaker
at the school to get a hammer and nail and
make a whole to get the milk out first, and
then he'd help us with his hammer to smash it
all up and all the kids would get that us
and have some nice fresh coconut. Lovely. But anyway, that's

(01:40:33):
one thing. Have you heard of Leamington's. Yes, well you
use jelly, any flavor and you have a sponge cake,
put it into squares.

Speaker 3 (01:40:49):
No, no, lemon. It was the whole show on leamited
about two months ago.

Speaker 9 (01:40:53):
Oh did you yeah, well that you used jelly to
do that, or you use cocoa to make the chocolate
once and you roll it in coconut And it's one
of my favorites.

Speaker 3 (01:41:07):
Love Leamington, Love Leamington, Love Leamington. In fact, this morning
is the morning, This morning is the morning. Tea I
had those the morning tea at the school and I
had those biscuits. Is two biscuits and Belgian biscuits with
the jelly crystal spring on top, which was very nice.

Speaker 9 (01:41:24):
Oh yeah, I like jelly crystal, like the sprint, cringing
over the bed over on the cream. Yes, sent to
the cream.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
The other thing is.

Speaker 9 (01:41:39):
Two other things. That woman that puts marijuana in the
cake that she took to works at the Book Stay hospital. Yes,
she only got I think three months either home to
teach or community work. I mean, that's a serious thing.

(01:42:04):
It's made people very sick. Colleagues, some ended up in
hospital patients, but serious they wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
They end up in hospital because because they'd be surprised
by the symptoms.

Speaker 9 (01:42:19):
Oh, they were very ill from it, and if they
tasted it properly, maybe it was more than just Marijuerna.
You know, I think that's terrible. She should be locked up.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
Really, Yes, I think I think. I think it's just
I think it's just a mistake. Someone's made a cannabis
cake and it's got swapped. She did, yeah, but did
she take it. She would have taken it deliberately.

Speaker 9 (01:42:49):
Yeah, And it showed her putting the chocolate iceing on it,
making it all sweet and nice looking.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
What do you mean showed it? That would just be
file footage.

Speaker 12 (01:43:00):
Wouldn't They wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
They wouldn't have filmed her making the cake.

Speaker 9 (01:43:05):
No, just dicing it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
Yeah, but they wouldn't. That would just Okay, I'll go
back and I'll go back a look at that, Jane,
thank you. David's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 20 (01:43:14):
Yes, the butter was infused with mayor made with enthused
with marijuana.

Speaker 3 (01:43:20):
I can't work out that. I can't we Okay, yes, yes.

Speaker 8 (01:43:26):
For a birthday parties.

Speaker 20 (01:43:27):
She apparently made it and she got no reactions, so
she thought she'd take it to a.

Speaker 3 (01:43:31):
Staff do and so her tolerance was quite high.

Speaker 20 (01:43:37):
Yes, yes, evidently. But we make a mistake here.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
I think it was a long time ago. Was six
years before it came to court, so that's kind of
a slow justice.

Speaker 20 (01:43:50):
Wilson Parking, I've got to have my say. I'm Wilson
Parking here in christ Church. I don't know if you've
got them Ben there, Marcus, But why ever the government
and council, local council, I don't know whether it's council
or local government of out of these foreign entity to
grift and fleece US public like a peck of seeing

(01:44:11):
robbers that they are they them operate in the country.

Speaker 19 (01:44:15):
I'll never know.

Speaker 3 (01:44:15):
But Dave, there was a guy that rang earlier, right,
I don't know if you have you been listening for
a long time, Oh, have been the last hour. There
was a guy called Reeve that rang up that works
for these companies who Wilson no for the for management
car parks and probably provides the agencies. And if you
if you have a car park managed by the agency,

(01:44:41):
it seems as though a lot more people get to
park and go to the supermarket. So there is an
upside to it.

Speaker 20 (01:44:48):
There's always a double. But my main argument is that Wilson,
why don't we manage our own free spaces and tax
or gain money from people and not allow that money
to go straight over to Korean ow I think they
are overseas. What I'm saying to you is it's not

(01:45:09):
difficult to run a They pretty much manage themselves, these
parking outfits, and Wilson parking here just to peck of
foreign mongols. In my opinion, well, all the money goes
straight out of seas markets. That's my main beef. Yeah,
I agree with you with parking. You you have two
hour parking or whatever, pay for what you want or
what you require. But why don't we run it ourselves

(01:45:33):
and you keep the money in the country. That's that's
my main People.

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
Imagine how well you do if you had a peck
and save you just employed someone to go around and
just you know, say hang about. You know, it's been
it's been an hour. It's you're gonna have to move
along now. It would be such a fantastic pr thing
to do, rather than COVID thing with hidden cameras. People
would hate.

Speaker 20 (01:45:53):
People hate this, I agree, but ours pats there and
ninety minutes would be ideal for my way of thinking.
So I don't have to think rushing around the shop
to get some bobs and then you say you held
up the counter quite often.

Speaker 8 (01:46:06):
As I hate using the self served.

Speaker 27 (01:46:09):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:46:11):
Yeah, that's my way of thinking about it.

Speaker 20 (01:46:14):
But we should be able to manage surely without allowing
a foreign entity to come in and pretty much fleece
the public and then let money co services. That's my
main point.

Speaker 3 (01:46:24):
You go quick, you go quick to the xenophobic angle,
don't you you go quick? But yeah, I mean, I
guess it's legit.

Speaker 20 (01:46:30):
Well, money should stay in the country, Marcus. You know
we were the economy. We want the Rockstar economy back,
do we not.

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
There's probably some local probably some local family doing it
that'd be probably socially shunned, and rightly so perhaps.

Speaker 20 (01:46:45):
But Wilson Parking and these other foreign mongols get out
of the country and we keep the money in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:46:51):
Thank you, Dave. There we go go on your Dave
twenty Away from a Living Hill twelve eighteen twelve and
John Good evening.

Speaker 12 (01:46:59):
Oh hi, hi, mircro things good things. Look, I'm just yeah,
I'm giving a quick about open cream sport camera cars
that seemed to be now straying into residential streets. So
they used to use them around the city center people
for parking on double yellow lines and et cetera. Obviously,

(01:47:22):
But now on Monday, I was sitting in my car
outside my house and that I saw an Ookland Transport
camera car coming up in the street, and oh, the
guy must live around here, and he ended up a
colder sack, went up a cold e sack round by
just by my house and bat out and as he
came past my car, I had the window down. I

(01:47:43):
gave a friendly wave as he went past. And he
went up the road and he didn't go down the
next street because he came back very quickly. And as
he came past me, the guy had his window down,
the driver and he eye bought me. Wow. And I'm
thinking what that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:06):
I'm just excited they've still got people in them. It's
not it's not totally robotic.

Speaker 12 (01:48:11):
Yeah, that's exactly right. But if he took a photo
of me sitting in my car and filmed me, is
that privacy issue?

Speaker 2 (01:48:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:48:23):
Could be Google, Google, Google Earth to Google Maps, does it?

Speaker 12 (01:48:27):
But if I was, you know, gardening outside my house
and they drive past, that's sort of you going about
your daily business. That's This really worries me. That they've
got these camera cars.

Speaker 3 (01:48:42):
Have you have you got have you got parking restriction
on your street?

Speaker 12 (01:48:46):
No, it's just you get parking.

Speaker 7 (01:48:48):
Were you liking this?

Speaker 3 (01:48:49):
So why would they be doing it? Are they're checking
number plates administrations?

Speaker 12 (01:48:53):
Yes, that's what they're doing. And I know somebody who
got a two hundred and fifty dollars fine for having
no warrant on her car.

Speaker 3 (01:49:01):
But they couldn't tell that from the camera. Could they.

Speaker 12 (01:49:04):
Just the match that matching number plates and to warn
the fitness.

Speaker 3 (01:49:09):
Okay, okay, so they can they cross reference the number
plate for when okay, because it's on the street, then
they can issue a ticket. They cross referencing the number
plate for when the last warrant was issued and whether
it's expired.

Speaker 12 (01:49:21):
I can't understand if you even if you didn't use
the car, you just had it sitting.

Speaker 3 (01:49:25):
There, then it's illegal as if it's on the street.

Speaker 12 (01:49:29):
Yeah, for sure. I mean, but my big sessue is
the privacy issue. I mean, you know, if I want
to somebody some bathe on my front law or garden
and the noos or something in one of these little
pricks comes along and soldiers.

Speaker 3 (01:49:44):
Can you mentioned the job must be a terrible job,
for sure.

Speaker 12 (01:49:48):
Mean, but the guy that was driving the car, I
ball me. I mean, I've written a complaint often been sport.

Speaker 3 (01:49:57):
They do that fingers to his eyes, then do to
your eyes? Is the double finger poke thing?

Speaker 12 (01:50:01):
Well no, no, no, but I was gobs act. I
sensed I went straight inside and wrote a complaint to
a new bunch of you know it, but it's my
my thing. This is the privacy issue in a residential
street and the filming people going about their daily business.

(01:50:26):
That's the that's the other piece of it. Yes, the
filming cars and number plates and matching number plates, so
they would have been able to match the number plate
of my car to the address that it was at
and pinpoint me being at that spot at that time.

Speaker 23 (01:50:42):
It's just huge.

Speaker 3 (01:50:44):
Yes, if you get a reply, Jodd, thank you. Hello, Deb,
this is Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:50:47):
Welcome, good Marcus.

Speaker 30 (01:50:50):
Say you're doing tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:50:51):
Good? Thank you?

Speaker 14 (01:50:53):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 30 (01:50:54):
I'm sort of I haven't been listening in like the
whole night, but.

Speaker 22 (01:51:01):
Good on.

Speaker 30 (01:51:01):
Yeah, oh you've probably obviously been with me tonight there
so how many wines have your head?

Speaker 3 (01:51:10):
It's a long time between drinks for me, but yeah,
I'm hearing you.

Speaker 30 (01:51:13):
Oh, good on you.

Speaker 5 (01:51:15):
But I.

Speaker 3 (01:51:17):
Winds have you had, Deb?

Speaker 30 (01:51:19):
Well, I've just finished that bottle, but I had to
to wear drinks before that, so not you know, what
were the.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
Drinks before that?

Speaker 30 (01:51:29):
I'm just two more wines.

Speaker 3 (01:51:31):
The two wines and you cracked a whole bottle.

Speaker 30 (01:51:34):
Yeah yeah, so oh yeah, well that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:51:38):
You've got your confidence up for the radio. That sounds great.
You're coming across.

Speaker 30 (01:51:41):
Well, well I probably haven't because I don't know. I've
just come in through part way through. But talking about
the car parks and the so I didn't listen earlier
where you say coming the confidence up and so forth.
So I listened earlier. I went to the park, came out,
and then talking about the car park, I've been down

(01:52:04):
to the brick works in christ You should I why not?

Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
Why would you not have to?

Speaker 2 (01:52:11):
No?

Speaker 30 (01:52:11):
No, well that's right now. I've been at the brickwork
Centaurus forrow and everybody in so but my friend, her
sister's quite a centric anyway. She took her to the
grocery shop and countdown in very Road. I don't know
if anybody knows that, but it's actually quite a big

(01:52:33):
these other places there, and they falled. But she said
that she while her sister went into the into the
grocery shop, she set there for two and a half
hours waiting for her sister to come out of the
grocery shop. She read every single label on the on
the packets and things like that. For whatever reason, I
don't know what you know what that was about, But

(01:52:56):
she read her book a magazine that she'd bought. My
friend read a magazine. She decided, I'll get out of there.
Two and a half hours later, her sister came out
of the grocery shop. True story. Wow, so you know
there are some widows out there.

Speaker 3 (01:53:10):
Yeah, that's a long time in't there isn't it?

Speaker 30 (01:53:14):
I mean, gosh, I could have done it. Not in
two and a half hours.

Speaker 3 (01:53:20):
I'm out of the brickworks.

Speaker 27 (01:53:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 30 (01:53:24):
It's a great wee pub.

Speaker 3 (01:53:25):
It looks like it looks like it's got that neighborhood
vibe to it too, eh.

Speaker 30 (01:53:30):
Very very neighborhood vibe. Friday nights they do raffoles.

Speaker 19 (01:53:37):
And stuff meat trays, but.

Speaker 30 (01:53:39):
They will put on there'll be snacks for the you know,
for everybody who's in the bar at a session time
and things like that. When they wrecks on, they'll put
on more snacks and you know, if everything's little we
hot dogs and whatever. Not that I ate hot dogs,
but anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:53:58):
It's good Wednesday, Steak Night, Thursday, Burger Night, Friday, Fish
and chip night? Was it Burgh night tonight?

Speaker 30 (01:54:05):
I didn't have to have each because one thing I
will tell you, Marcus, I reckon. I'm a bit of sheef,
is it right? Bit of cook?

Speaker 20 (01:54:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:54:17):
Did you have two glasses there and then the bottle
when you got home?

Speaker 30 (01:54:20):
Yeah, I had two glasses, just finished off the bottle.
Now I've still got the glass, my last glass here.
So but I've got salmon and like pie in the oven.
And then I've made a little medley of new potatoes
that I had last night over peas, some onion, garlic, and.

Speaker 3 (01:54:41):
Look look at you eating the rainbow. That's everything. And
what colored pepper?

Speaker 30 (01:54:46):
I've got red pepper tonight, but I'm quite partial to
any pepper. And I'll put a once just before I
go to eat ip, a little bit of fresh time,
and then I'll put some white wine.

Speaker 3 (01:54:58):
You like to you like to eat deep?

Speaker 30 (01:55:01):
Yeah, I know, because I've had the wines.

Speaker 3 (01:55:03):
Marcas nine to eleven?

Speaker 20 (01:55:09):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
Manuel? And Manuel?

Speaker 6 (01:55:10):
Manuel?

Speaker 3 (01:55:11):
This is Marcus. Good evening, and welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:55:14):
You're hi Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
Hi Manuel.

Speaker 6 (01:55:18):
On the subject of parking, I need to confess a
parking sin, and I hope that I get leniency for
confessing my parking.

Speaker 3 (01:55:28):
Sin, leniency from me.

Speaker 6 (01:55:31):
Well, from anyone. But yeah, it was thirty years ago,
and I'm not sure if you know. But you're in
Auckland in the CBD. You've got Parliament Street, the High Court,
Antack Street and there's Churchill Street in between the High

(01:55:52):
Court and the police truck depot down on Beach Road
and partal just below it.

Speaker 26 (01:55:58):
Right, do you know that area?

Speaker 3 (01:56:00):
Let me bring up a map.

Speaker 6 (01:56:03):
Yeah, okay, So Simon Street through the University, Parliament Street, Hi,
the Auckland high.

Speaker 3 (01:56:14):
The High Court ypp, yep, copy that yep, yep.

Speaker 6 (01:56:16):
And Churchill Street is in between the Auckland High Court
and the police tract on Beach Road just below or
to the east of Churchill Street.

Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
Yeah, I haven't found I'm not familiar with Churchill Street. Yeah,
well thirty years street goes through Beach Road and we.

Speaker 6 (01:56:37):
Are well, yeah, what's I don't know is a street
that goes from the high Court intersection down to.

Speaker 3 (01:56:49):
Oh yeah, I could see yeah, ye down there by
the unit.

Speaker 6 (01:56:53):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, Chichill Street. So it's changed over
the years and used to go through there and then
they changed it to a dinning street and so like that.
But thirty years ago, I was a university student. I
can't remember if I was nineteen or twenty years old.
But I was late for a lecture at university, and

(01:57:18):
I drove my Twitter Corolla station wagon down there and
it was a dead end, just above the police truck depot.
And I turned around in the cul de sac and
I knew, I mean, this is the sin. I knew

(01:57:39):
there were yellow lines there, but they were all covered
with leaves.

Speaker 3 (01:57:45):
Of course, the old covered with leaves. Trick great, yep, yes, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:57:49):
So I was like, oh, well, this is a bank
era in my advantage. So I thought, right, I'll park
my car there, knowing that the yellow lines were covered
and that an innocent person wouldn't know any better.

Speaker 8 (01:58:04):
But I knew better.

Speaker 6 (01:58:06):
And I came back from a lecture and sure enough
I had a ticket on my car. So I got
my camera out. I kicked a few more leaves over
the yellow lines.

Speaker 3 (01:58:18):
And when you say you got a camera, I mean
that's that's not a straightforward thing in those days, was it.

Speaker 24 (01:58:23):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:58:24):
No, No, it was just well no, I think I
actually had to drive back to Mount Eden and get
a camera and come back and I took a photo,
and I said, and I sent the photo to the
council or the develop the photo. Yeah, well you had
to do all that. Yeah, and to who whoever it was,
the council or Aukland Transport, I said, look, I parked

(01:58:46):
here and these yellow lines were all covered with leaves
and I didn't know what I was doing, and I
don't think I should get a ticket for this.

Speaker 8 (01:58:56):
Yeah, and you know I hoped and prayed.

Speaker 6 (01:58:58):
But about a month later, Yeah, they they came back
and they said that, yeah, they'll delete the ticket it and.

Speaker 3 (01:59:09):
So you always carry around from then on you always
carry around a bucket of leaves.

Speaker 8 (01:59:14):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:59:15):
But no, no, that it is a sin because I
knew exactly I was doing the wrong thing and I
just took advantage of I don't know if.

Speaker 3 (01:59:25):
I don't know if i'd see that as a sin.
We're studying, we're studying law.

Speaker 6 (01:59:32):
I had studied a commercial law paper.

Speaker 3 (01:59:36):
So any who last hour getting ready for the Christmas shows?
Two people? So the Christmas shows will be like every
other show with disparaiting comments about Christmas. No, I don't
know how we'll go for the Christmas week. I think
I'm working till quite late this year, like maybe even

(01:59:59):
the twenty second. Well why not take the kids for
a week or two? Today? Freg after school. Mind, you'll
be home all day with them anyway. So now it's
ten past eleven. If you want to be a part
of the final hour, we've talked fish and chips, parking, tickets,

(02:00:21):
jelly in the reverse order the last hour. I'm not
fussed what you want to talk about. I can handle
it all. Don't you worry about that, But make you
move if you want to be a part of it.
I didn't mention dungeons and dragons. It's a bit of
a random topic, Marcus, this is to be the funniest

(02:00:46):
show tonight, Loving at Peace. When I had to put
Smart Parking into my bank to pay eighty five dollars
fine for fifty minutes over, I really wanted to rename them. Yeah,
I can imagine that, Marcus tell the last call on
You's in and forgives them for putting one of their
council with leaves on the yellow lines. Poor Chaps sounds
like he's been drinking away as guilt. Mark's had a

(02:01:07):
similar parking issue at Spotlight Carpety some months ago. They
do have a sign, but I haven't seen it. Kingcraft
is like Mickeasy, spend more than an hour rummaging through
the specials at Spotlight. I was dismayed at the fine
but paid up. My friend challenged it and got off.
I live halfway between Spotlight Carpety and the one in
Palmston North and now I always got a Parme which

(02:01:27):
is more parking friendly. You don't want to be hurried
along in Spotlight. Theo's Fish and Chips on Rickington Road
chrostchitch back in the day, or the doghouse and the
Square was the go do for a good feed bit
of vinegar cheap carbs. Now maybe once a month of
that for the family with our kids always order a
bowl of chips without for dinner. Lots of good fish

(02:01:50):
and chip shops still around. Regards Darren, I'm seething over
Wilson Parking over many years. The outfit needs regulating. A
peck of mongrels brilliant jelly is great for those suffering
from osteoporosis. It increases bone density, is especially beneficial for

(02:02:12):
people taking prest in his own helps for calcium. Two
crumbed hoky scoop eighteen dollars twenty five at Lake How
we Are? Would I buy fish and chips from Lake?

Speaker 6 (02:02:25):
How we Are?

Speaker 3 (02:02:28):
No, too far from the sea.

Speaker 16 (02:02:31):
Like.

Speaker 3 (02:02:31):
It's a pretty good rule, that one. It served me well.
We live at the beach. You used to get fish
ships on Friday with our kids and grandkids until the
week it costs sixty dollars. Now I buy fresh fish
and cook it myself for way less. Anyway, need your
calls for the final hour. We've done well so far,
so be in touch. If you want to join the fray,

(02:02:54):
here till midnight, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
thirteen past eleven. I don't know how much it costs.
You cook your own fish and chips? Can you buy those?
Sort of? Because it's always rig or shark or not
down downtouth. It's always cod, No, it's not. It's all
you pay extra for cod. But God is always available.

(02:03:15):
It's not for USh, It's always been snap frozen. I
think I love a carry roll. The person that invented
those in using and deserve some sort of a knighthood
love a carry roll. I don't know why. I like
this sort of the solidness of it. It's got a
bit of heft, a bit of weight, but enough for me.
Thirteen past eleven. If you want to join the discussion

(02:03:36):
tonight for the final hour. We're already looking forward tomorrow
Night's Friday Free for all. I can't wait for that.
Still waiting for reports on the Papa Nui a esa.
Is it the one that closed? Is to come through?

Speaker 8 (02:03:52):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:03:52):
By the way, what was I reading about parking charges?
Sorry supermarket trolley chargers? That seemed to be a big story.
It's about to happen a fourteen past eleven. Good evening, Joe,

(02:04:13):
And this is Marcus.

Speaker 27 (02:04:14):
Welcome, ohllo Marcus. Yes, fish from the fish shop. It
was very expensive now, isn't it. Yes, yes, and thirty
forty years ago, well even twenty years ago. I mean
I could buy gernerd takee nice fish and you could
crumb it or batter it and have it at home
for a meal with salad and potatoes and mat But

(02:04:35):
now the fish is just so dear. It's just like
steak and lamb and all those you know, to buy
good mince or steak. I mean, it's just so dear.
I don't know how it gets sold in the supermarkets
when everything is so highly priced now for those things,
And are they selling enough butter? When you think of
the price of butter I've stopped up because I make

(02:04:57):
quite a few Christmas cakes and I make my sister
one and her partner and give to my friends. So
you know, I mean, I've got to pay the price
with this eight dollars something. But you know, I mean
things go up, but I think some things have gone
up far too much.

Speaker 3 (02:05:13):
I think, well, I think, Joan, I don't know how
supermarkets work with fish because what because how many? How
many days on the shelf? Is it two days? Because
of what do they do with it? Then it doesn't
sound because it's always kind of a it's always And
I saw some I saw some pecketts out there that
I saw some strange crabs from Dubai or something in there.
I thought, what's going on? How much were they cost?

Speaker 27 (02:05:34):
Yeah? I would rather buy fish from like the one
you talked about in Reckonon Road, or the fish shop
in why Mai Road, or the fish fresh fish at
Bishop Dale because I love a burnside. But I don't
want to buy pieces of fish a New World or
a supermarket because it's not the same as buying fish
from her.

Speaker 3 (02:05:53):
No, that's I don't know how. I don't know how
people would I wouldn't have the confidence to buy. I
brought it once a New World. It was terrible, and
wouldn't buy it again.

Speaker 27 (02:06:00):
I wouldn't waste my money doing that.

Speaker 16 (02:06:03):
You know.

Speaker 27 (02:06:04):
Are you still there?

Speaker 3 (02:06:05):
Yeah? Of course? Where else would I?

Speaker 27 (02:06:07):
Oh don't, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:06:09):
You know, if you watch your standard order from the
chippy Joan.

Speaker 27 (02:06:13):
Well, you mentioned something about curry rolls, didn't it.

Speaker 3 (02:06:16):
You love a carry roll too, don't you.

Speaker 27 (02:06:18):
Well, yes, because our one up a Kenda lab for
Cholcut Street and they've been there about twenty five years.
I've been here over forty years, and them bills I
drive and the people before them were there before, you know,
for twenty years. And oh they're so friendly, and I
hardly ever get anything. I might have gone to visit
my friend Edith in Charlcott Street, law pick up a
couple of pieces of fish on the way home. But

(02:06:40):
then I'll get them to cook a curry roll and
the meat patty, which I'll keep for the next day.

Speaker 3 (02:06:45):
I'll keep it in the.

Speaker 27 (02:06:46):
Bag and I won't put it in the fridge. I'll
put it in the microwave and I will heat it
for lunch the next day. But their fish is lovely.
The batter is lovely and it's just a treat for me.
I can bring it home and dab it on a
paper towel and get some oil out of it, and
I have my little love and on and I can
have it nice and hot, and I can have it
with salad or just with tomatoes or something. But you know,

(02:07:10):
I just think fish is just beyond people's to cook
it at home and have it, you know. But the
frozen ones you get that are in the packets and
you just heat them in the oven, there's nothing wrong
with those, you know. That quite a goodbye. And if
I'm here on my own and just to get a
couple of those out and have because the fish from
the fish shop is expensive, but I mean, if I

(02:07:33):
want it, I will have it occasionally. But when I
just get two pieces of fish and the big pieces
and I just keep the curry roll in the meat
patty which is absolutely lovely with a bit of minced
potato and then with better on it. Really good fish
and chips in Kender Lab Chlcotte Street.

Speaker 22 (02:07:52):
Really good.

Speaker 3 (02:07:53):
Yeah, I've never tried a meat patty. I don't like
the sounds of it. What's it like?

Speaker 27 (02:07:59):
Very nice because it's you can see the white mashed potato.
You've got a little bit of meat, and you've got
lovely crispy better and it's about the size of a
you know, like when you poaching egg, you know about
that sort of thing. Yes, it's very very nice, and
they make them there, you see. But you see, when
I've had my grandchildren here and Spencer wants a what

(02:08:21):
do you call it? A hot dog? And I say
to Spencer, because it's just rubbish, it's just sort of
I don't know, sausage or whatever it is. But a great, big,
long hot dog. Well, I mean, if he wants a
hot dog, you'll have it, you know what I mean.
But I sort of think, you know, a piece of
battered fish would be nicer. But the children like the
chicken nuggets and the hot dogs and those sort of things.

(02:08:43):
But Addison likes she's fourteen now, she likes a big mac.
But Spencer likes his sushi.

Speaker 5 (02:08:50):
He likes his sushi.

Speaker 27 (02:08:51):
He's a healthy eater. He loves the sushi. He will
just he will choose himself a packet of sushi and
eat eat the pack when when I have them here
for tea or I shout them out for you know,
I have a meal with them at a food court.
I had suber larkey today because I went to get
tickets for the andre Rea that film that have you

(02:09:13):
heard of that?

Speaker 6 (02:09:14):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:09:14):
Is he still alive?

Speaker 27 (02:09:17):
She he's still alive. He's in his early early seventies.

Speaker 3 (02:09:21):
Yeah, it's a movie.

Speaker 27 (02:09:24):
His wife said years ago. Why doesn't he put it
on a film and send it to other countries? And
my neighbor and my friend of over thirty years, my
neighbor and my friend Pam, we got the tickets today
and that's how Pam and I ended up going to
sushi for our and then we went to Muff and
Break for for a coffee.

Speaker 3 (02:09:47):
But anyway, where do you have your suber larky?

Speaker 27 (02:09:51):
At the food court at Northlands? Well, I haven't had one.

Speaker 3 (02:09:54):
It's a good food court Northlands, isn't it. I've been
there many a time.

Speaker 27 (02:09:57):
Oh have you? Yes, it's different now it's down their end,
you know. Yeah, it's quite good. But I didn't realize
it was teacher's only day today.

Speaker 3 (02:10:04):
I said, will three days? Yeah, I'm hearing it.

Speaker 27 (02:10:08):
Yeah, okay, there's a lot of people there and that
didn't matter up because we didn't have any time limit
or anything. We got up to get our tickets for
thirty dollars to go to that. I've been to three
of them now and this is the Christmas one that
Andre rhea. But oh it's absolutely fantastic. It's only thirty
dollars and we're going on Saturday, the first Saturday in December,

(02:10:30):
and in Pam and I and then we will go
to muff and break after that and have a coffee
and a muffin and that will be nice. So I'm
quite so sure. Which is good, not of friends and
it's lovely.

Speaker 3 (02:10:42):
Yeah, I'm looking for I'm looking for the name of
the kebab place online to see where you go for
your suvlaki.

Speaker 27 (02:10:51):
It's not a kapare, but it's in a pit of bread.

Speaker 24 (02:10:53):
I have.

Speaker 27 (02:10:54):
What's well, it's just when you go into the food
court and you go round past the roast, they have
a lot of roast, pork roast. They have chicken stuff
with rice and then they have the roasts and then they.

Speaker 4 (02:11:11):
Had this the.

Speaker 3 (02:11:13):
What does that was super larky, super arket.

Speaker 27 (02:11:17):
Yeah, that's my treat and I don't have it very often,
just when I go and get Andre BA tickets and
we just do that because you know regular it's only
seven dollars ninety. But I found the pitter pocket was
very thick. Today, you know, haw and get a pizza
with a thinner base, which is better than having too
much dough and stuff. But I thought that it was

(02:11:40):
more like it was quite stick, so I didn't I
don't usually leave any food. I don't like wasting food
in that. But I didn't actually eat all of the
pitter pocket.

Speaker 20 (02:11:48):
But it was lovely.

Speaker 27 (02:11:49):
The meat is the contant?

Speaker 3 (02:11:51):
Is it just a live concert of him filmed?

Speaker 27 (02:11:54):
Yes? And then who's coming? Oh, he OSTs it and
he plays the violin, but he doesn't play so much
but other guests, and then in his orchestra and band.
Then they have couples waltzing around the tables. And my
neighbor in twenty and eleven, her and Jeff went overseas
and they went to the show in the Square in Holland,

(02:12:16):
where he's from. And she's come with us the last
three times. And we're going on the first Saturday in December.
And because it's really nice, you know, it's lovely love.

Speaker 3 (02:12:31):
You let me know what it's going to be like.
When you go to have you did you go the
last night of the paper?

Speaker 7 (02:12:37):
No?

Speaker 27 (02:12:37):
I didn't because I thought, well, this might sound awful.
My late husband's birthday was an ac day and he
was always chuffed about that, you know, and I don't
like all that carry on. I'd gone to the Templeton
RSA last Friday night and there's so many people there
and it was hot, and I wish the hell I
hadn't gone, because they stopped and do their thing for
about twenty minutes. And I didn't go to the paper RFA.

(02:13:02):
But I have gone a few times lately. And we
had our christ each country on the first Sunday of
this month. But we're now going to go to the
old McKenzie's where we go for Kiweik country. So that's
a bit of a dive, but never mind. They look
after us, and you know, because a lot of clubs
charged too much for their rooms for you know, and

(02:13:24):
then you know, we had the country clubs and things.
They can't afford to pay one or two or three
hundred dollars for an afternoon, you know. I mean, it's
just a nice country music and nice people. But I
didn't go to the people New because I thought there'd
be a lot of people there and they were going
to have about an hour of carry on and then
they're going to have music for two hours and then

(02:13:45):
you could get food, and so I thought, no, I
just didn't feel like going there. But I've been there
many times.

Speaker 11 (02:13:51):
Over the years with good live with there, Joe.

Speaker 3 (02:13:54):
But thank you so very much for that. Twenty three
past eleven takes. If you want to a call here
till midnight, my name is MICUs. Welcome. Someone sent me
an email about the Chico role, which I find quite interesting.
Twenty three past eleven Beck in a bit. There's some
great texts. I'll read them in the order they come,
because they kind of tell a tale. Marcus, my partner
takes around seventy twenty minutes to do her gracery shop.

(02:14:17):
I usually lay back in the car and go to
sleep while she shops. So I go home and drive
back when she texts me that she's at the checkout
seventy to eighty minutes. Hi, Marcus. A faint green aurora
on the horizon sky little cloudy, but last night the
roll was visible despite the cloud cover from Wamado. Hoping
for another good show, tonight Chile, Tony, Marcus. She can

(02:14:41):
still get cheap fish and chips from Cartangata. Two dollars
for a huge coop of kIPS, which is too much
to eat in one sitting for my husband myself, so
we have leftovers the next day. I don't often get
texts from Cartungana, so I'm excited to receive that, Marcus,
Max again. I remember when I was a kid, I'd
catch the train from Johnsonville to Wellington. I can't remember

(02:15:02):
the date, something like fifty cents or maybe a dollar.
I'd try to avoid the conductor. She didn't t My
fear is enough to buy a scoop of chips. I
wonder what has gone up most chips or the train fair, Marcus.
We get fresh hoky at the Hoky ticker New World
in Hoky season two big filets, seven dollars. Cook them
in beer better, Marcus. I live in Motawaker. I moved
here from in Chicago, where I'm used to buying blue cod.

(02:15:24):
But they don't really sell blue con the fish and
chip shops here. It's usually hokey, girded soul or snapper.
Someone says, I'm surprised the wealthy chick from Burnside Eats
in the Northlands food court that places a war zone
every single day. There's scraps in there with a security
rushing in. The suvlaki is called a Dana grill. Papinuirasa

(02:15:45):
went last Saturday as the last night best fish and
chips ever from Lochy's in Hamden, very fresh by the sea.
Got four blue cod and chips for the family ninety dollars,
world famous, well worth the price. Marcus. I like smoked meats.
Is a few places in christ which most people would

(02:16:05):
say smoky is that Smoky Teas is the best. There
is also Smoke and Rolliston. I went there. I went
there with my Rolliston trip. When I caught the bus,
I went to the library and I went to Smoke.
I was the only one there.

Speaker 12 (02:16:19):
I was early.

Speaker 3 (02:16:19):
It was slightly weird time for me to be there.
I've never been to one of those restaurants, not really
a me teater, but I've sort of heard the hyperbout.
It was good. But the best is Smoke and Barrel
on Fairy Road. I won't say what the worst is
because that might be prejudicious. Best fish and Chips is
on Fairy Road.

Speaker 16 (02:16:37):
Cheers.

Speaker 6 (02:16:41):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (02:16:41):
That's the text looking for us up us living. Almost
time for me to go home. Who wants to set
the topic to light for the final thirty?

Speaker 7 (02:16:49):
Not me?

Speaker 3 (02:16:50):
On Topic barn TV Topic baron.

Speaker 24 (02:16:56):
Aurora.

Speaker 3 (02:16:57):
There's some interesting international news happening, but I don't know
if it's time to get into it as now. They
got all the politians back to vote out of the
lockdown or whatever it's been, the standstill in America. But
then they also voted to release more of the Epstein things.
I think they're about to do that that's goin to
hot up. Yes, so, yes, turmoil there in the magaworld,

(02:17:25):
but the end of the shutdown and they have found
the world is on track for a two point six
degrees temperatureize according to recent reports. Yep, the world is
going to heat up by two point six degrees above

(02:17:45):
being tre industrial times by the end of the century.
That's when our children will be in their seventies and eighties.
Now all the lines are available at twenty eight to twelve.
If you want to be a part of what we're
talking about tonight, so I get in touch. That's something
that you can do, will do, want to do it?
Is ten years today? I think? Is that right down?

(02:18:05):
Ten years today? Ten years today since the Paris terrorist attacks.
Now there are a number of them, and I think
most of them remember those that were in that nightclub.
There was a contentt on and that was that was
ten years they're doing things in Paris. Are they're commemorating that?

Speaker 6 (02:18:25):
Is that right down?

Speaker 3 (02:18:26):
Is that what they're doing? Yeah, so it's commemorating that tonight.
So that's the begin international thing that's happening also tonight. Now,
Win's Loto? Is that lotto thing that's Saturday? You gotta
wait till next Wednesday for that. I was fifty five million,
so I'll probably buy a ticket. So report but I mean,
the chance of winning would be negligibill But I guess
you got to win. Someone's got to win. So you

(02:18:48):
might want to say something about that. I don't know
what you'd say. It'd be an interesting amount of money
to have, wouldn't it. You do something with that? So
that's anyway, that's that's Saturday. There'll be ques because two
combinations cost of a crisis. People want the money and
it's the second biggest ever I think, So yeah, there

(02:19:10):
you go. But if you want to be a part
of the show on air and this final thirty, that
would be nice to hear from you. Maybe it's been
about car parks tonight, Marcus. Would you be up to
talking about wills at some stage? Cheers dead, Yeah, I
wouldn't mind. I always struggle with wills cause I don't

(02:19:31):
know whether I want to be buried or cremated which
I and I've never managed to work that out. I've
never managed to resolve that. Not good with decisions, and
people always say to me, which say, oh, oh, you'll
be dead anyway, That's not the point. I still think

(02:19:51):
I can have some agency and how I go. And
I don't think i'd like to be in the smoky
in the in the guest thing.

Speaker 2 (02:20:00):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:20:00):
Someone sent me an article or a Wikipedia page on
the Chico role. The Cheeico role is an Australian savor
snack invented by Frank McEnroe, inspired by the Chinese spring roll,
first sold in nineteen seventy one. Is a chicken roll,
despite not actually containing chicken. Didn't know it didn't have chicken.
The Chico the stack was designed to be easily eaten

(02:20:21):
on the move without a plate or cutlery. A Chico
Rolls filling is primarily cabbage and barley. I don't think
they are in news edit. I'd like one as well
as carrot, green beans, beef, wheat, cereal, sealerate onion. The
filling is partially pulped and closing a thick egg and
flour pastry tube designed to survive handling it football matches.

(02:20:45):
It's deep fried and vegetable. Between twenty seventeen and twenty
twenty two, Australia Soal a food supply vegetar and Chico
roll containing no beef forty million in the Chico Rolls
Rolls used to be sold annially. It's an Australian cultural icon.
It was developed by Frank McEnroe, boiler maker from Bendigo, Victori,

(02:21:06):
who turned to catering and football matches and other outdoor events.
He saw a competitior sing Chinese chop three rolls outside
the Richmond Cricket Gratiside to add a similar front to
his own line. He felt the Chinese roles were too
flimsy to be easily handled in an informal outdoor setting,
and hit upon the idea of a much larger and
more robust roll that would provide a quick meal. The

(02:21:27):
result which the Chico role, which debuted at the Wogga
Wogga Agricultural Show in nineteen fifty one, and that became
his thing. He moved to Melbourne with his family, who
became to manufacture of the rolls with the use of
an adapted sausage machine. By nineteen sixty five, many Australian
takeaway restaurants, especially fish and chip shops, carried Chico rolls.

(02:21:50):
The marketing slogan grabber Chico signified the ease with which
shop owners could take a Chico roll from the freeze
and put into a fryer and started it into their
own trademark bag Wow. Now the sales are down to
seventeen million per annum because of increase competition in the
Australian takeaway food market yep. There are fights about who

(02:22:11):
invented it. To celebrate the fifty that anniversary of the
creation of the Cheeker role, the current manufacturer was that
a goldplate of replicas to Bendigo and Wogga Wogga cities.
Since the nineteen fifties, Cheeko roles have been advertised featuring
the Cheeko chick character seductive woman on a motorbike, A
company by the slogan could you go a Cheico role

(02:22:33):
cheapest Creepers. In two thousand and eight, the company began
a nationwide search for the new Cheeico Chick, hoping to
downplay traditionally raunchy look in favor of a more wholesome
girl next door image. And that Melton was chosen as
I found that was chosen, that you found that for
every interesting. So there we go. That's the talk on
the Cheeico role. I don't necessarily necessarily know that I've

(02:22:55):
ever had one. They always look at it suspect to me.
It's twenty two to twelve. I need your calls before
the end or not. Just do what you want to do. Marcus.
I love a cheeko. I'll always have when I'm an Aussie,
But I'm an Aussie, Karen Marcus. Popeye's chickens using his
biggest thing since the Georgie Pie timeless. My thoughts on

(02:23:15):
Popeye's Chicken, And I've thought about this a lot, and
it's about everyone I've talked to down South. You go
to Popeye's Chicken and all it does is remind you
how good. KFC is I reckon they've got it wrong.
That's my take on it. And I'm not a big

(02:23:37):
fan of KFC, but once you go to Popeyees you
realize actually it's quite good anyway. Twenty away from twelve,
someone said this is a powerful text. You've got the
Popeyes call completely wrong, rare wrong take from you, Marcus,
been listening for over a decade. It might be your
worst take yet. Popeye's is generational. Much love. Someone said,

(02:24:02):
the whole of South Auckland stands my pipe. I'll give
another go. Both times I've been there, it's been slightly
fraught with panic ordering and people ordering the wrong thing.
So yeah, okay, I will take your advice and I
will rear praise good evening pay. This is Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 14 (02:24:23):
Hello, just ringing.

Speaker 24 (02:24:25):
Regarding your saying your sunior arrangements where you want to
be cremated or theories, I just want that you know
that there's in christ there's a new facility instead of
the cremation. Yeah, you go into a tank and the

(02:24:46):
body gets broken down that way rather.

Speaker 20 (02:24:50):
Than no.

Speaker 3 (02:24:53):
To be water boarder that terrified out there? Does it
appeal to.

Speaker 24 (02:24:56):
You, Well, it's just it's just opened this steer rather
than the actual furnace. One particular funeral director's started at
the sheer and yeah, the body, the body gets broken
down and the water you know, tank us, boy, you

(02:25:20):
call us. And then they just do the wrist of
the cremation thing afterwards instead of the burning. But that
doesn't appeal to you either.

Speaker 3 (02:25:29):
Even talking about it makes you feel quite weird. Is
the water hot? You being boiled?

Speaker 12 (02:25:36):
I'm not really sure.

Speaker 24 (02:25:38):
I don't know the details of that. There's an open
in a couple of weeks, they've got an open.

Speaker 3 (02:25:48):
You have to be sick to go to want to
go to one of those. I've thought, well, just to find.

Speaker 24 (02:25:52):
Out what what the process is, whether it appeals to
you or not. But it's a personal thing really. It's
just I have my mother cremated a year ago and
this unfortunately didn't. It's only come this year into curation.

(02:26:13):
So there's just something to think about it. But it's
just a beatiful thing. If you don't I don't like
that idea, that's fine, So I just thought i'd mention
it to you.

Speaker 3 (02:26:22):
You don't like any ideas, I don't like any of
the options.

Speaker 24 (02:26:27):
Oh you don't like any of them.

Speaker 3 (02:26:29):
Oh okay, that's a difficult Yeah, very difficult face. I'll
report back. I'll work on that, Marcus. Popeye's take all wrong, Marcus.
The best chicken of the chuck or chicken from a
hot Chick on the waterfront of Ahu Ready napier, as
fast as past as KFC. Just a chicken spicy chicken
samwiche from Popeyes. It never tastes to be in a

(02:26:49):
savage in my life. I've been around the world. I'm
sixty seven. People are loving it. Stand down, evening, Matt,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 8 (02:26:59):
How's it going?

Speaker 3 (02:26:59):
Yeah, good man? How are you going?

Speaker 18 (02:27:01):
Not better just than this version?

Speaker 3 (02:27:03):
Get home now you sit in the email earlier the
value about Aaron Mauana. Thanks for that, No worries.

Speaker 18 (02:27:11):
I was just thinking about it, stilling them my mum
yesterday about it.

Speaker 3 (02:27:15):
So where did you grow up?

Speaker 8 (02:27:17):
Are you in?

Speaker 3 (02:27:17):
Like Green Island?

Speaker 18 (02:27:19):
We lived in Concord, so it was just overlooking the
Green Island Motorway.

Speaker 3 (02:27:26):
So when you said all those police cars, they must
have gone and got police from come up from in
the Cargo and Milton and everywhere. Is that kind of
what you what you imagine happened.

Speaker 18 (02:27:36):
They flew in the the police technical squad into the airport.

Speaker 3 (02:27:44):
Oh okay, so they would have been picking them up
from yeah, and you know those so yeah, so the
bitches because I'm just kind of because you were in Concord.
And one of the guys that died, right, he was

(02:28:05):
the mayor of where see the mirror of Green is Island,
so he was from that suburban he was from so
a lot of people from your area. They had cribs
at Era Mowana, Is that right? Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
so it was kind of the south dned and people
in that place that had the cribs there. That's from
finding quite interesting.

Speaker 18 (02:28:24):
Yeah, there's some we knew older people that were killed,
yea and yeah, and we got to go and have
a lot just to see if there was any damage
to our crib. We had to take the leader down
to prove their address. So you know that rubbernecks go

(02:28:48):
and heaven Lock. So it was just fresh when we
got to go there, and.

Speaker 3 (02:28:52):
Most of the people would have just been there as
weekend as or there was a community that lived there
as well.

Speaker 18 (02:28:57):
Are the community. There are quite a few people that
lived down there.

Speaker 3 (02:29:02):
And you you you the perpetrator.

Speaker 18 (02:29:04):
Yeah, yeah, my mum were.

Speaker 3 (02:29:06):
Just wasn't oh wow, okay, wow.

Speaker 18 (02:29:09):
We actually did the day before that happened. We were
down there and we're walking along the beach and Mum
pointed him out to us and said, he's a bit
of a weird one, so just just watch him.

Speaker 3 (02:29:22):
Yeah, does it seem like thirty five years does it?

Speaker 27 (02:29:27):
No?

Speaker 18 (02:29:27):
No, And I've taken my kids down because I live
in Nate been there and we went down last year
and I took them down to the crib and showed
them where I grew up and where it all happened.

Speaker 20 (02:29:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:29:40):
I've been down there a few times. I mean, yes,
I mean I hadn't been there. I've been there before,
but I have. But yeah, it's not a place that
I feel comfortable spending time. And because I don't know,
I think people probably get people coming to it because
it's well known for that. So yeah, it's sort of
grief tourism or whatever. So it is a pretty.

Speaker 18 (02:29:58):
Special place, though it changed.

Speaker 8 (02:30:02):
It was.

Speaker 18 (02:30:05):
Before it happened. The atmosphere it was free and easy,
you go about walk around. We would go to the
beach at nighttime and go fishing, and after it happened,
it was no, it was a it was all different.
It was just the nearing feeling about it.

Speaker 3 (02:30:22):
So you would spend your when you're at school, you'd
spend your weekends out there.

Speaker 11 (02:30:26):
Is that right?

Speaker 8 (02:30:27):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (02:30:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:30:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (02:30:29):
And we.

Speaker 18 (02:30:31):
Brought it as a skeleton and dad, my uncle built it.

Speaker 3 (02:30:38):
And when you say border as a skeleton like a.

Speaker 18 (02:30:40):
Kit, said, I was just now it's a frame. Someone
who had started building it stopped. So we purchased the
land and we finished it off.

Speaker 3 (02:30:52):
And what would you spend your holidays doing? Fishing and
swimming and surfing. It's quite a good surf break, isn't it.

Speaker 18 (02:30:57):
Yeah, we'd get fishing, swimming. It was barbecues to the
outside at night. It was great.

Speaker 3 (02:31:06):
And how old were you when when it happened, Matt,
I was fifteen.

Speaker 8 (02:31:10):
I was just a high school.

Speaker 3 (02:31:11):
Did you go to the funerals?

Speaker 7 (02:31:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (02:31:14):
Yeah, And there are a lot of them. There are
a lot of the memorial down there, and they put
up the rain will und A memorial and there was
the thirteen people that were killed, and someone went and
put his name down at the bottom and that that
that that caused a bit of a rackus.

Speaker 3 (02:31:34):
That's pretty controversial. Did you watch the film?

Speaker 18 (02:31:38):
Yeah, well, funny that it was my when it was
done that they went to the community and said, look,
we want to build Drefel and we're not going to
grammatize the shooting. We want to show the people who
survived and what they went through, and we're going to
have a special showing and if you don't like the film,

(02:31:59):
we'll cancel it. We'll just stop it. And they sent
out letters and my parents got one and they went
to see it and there wasn't a dry eye in
the house.

Speaker 3 (02:32:10):
It was yea, so they obviously thought that it was
it had done the story justice.

Speaker 20 (02:32:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:32:16):
Yeah, and it was filmed in Long Beach, which is
just over the hill.

Speaker 3 (02:32:21):
Yeah, I'm familiar with that. Yeah, they filmed it somewhere different.
Yeh was familiar. They filmed it somewhere different because of that.

Speaker 18 (02:32:27):
And I heard one of the police that was down there.
They were he went to the set and he went
into David Gray's crib that they had done, yes, and
he said it was just an eerie, eerie feeling because
they'd done it so well. It was just like he
was back there and he went went into the crib.

Speaker 3 (02:32:47):
Did your parents sell their crib soon after?

Speaker 7 (02:32:51):
No?

Speaker 18 (02:32:51):
No, no, they've only just sold it. They sold it
because they got too old to look after it now
and dad's got Parkinson so he can't. Was after two
houses and.

Speaker 3 (02:33:03):
You're miles away.

Speaker 18 (02:33:06):
Yeah, it's kind of said that they've sold the place that. Yeah,
they've tar sealed all the roads down there now and
it's it's getting old, bougie.

Speaker 3 (02:33:15):
And hey, Matt, I'm going to go, I really appreciate
you giving that email because I hadn't come across that
in any of the stuff today. And look, as I say,
because I was on here doing middawn talkback in my
first year on ZB and yeah, and there was there
was reports through the night, but you never had It
was only until the morning it all unfolded because there
wasn't the communications. It was like now, it was quite

(02:33:37):
an It was quite an eerie night because you know,
you knew something was on, but you weren't sure what.

Speaker 18 (02:33:43):
Well, we we hit My grandmother lived in Port Charmers
and she knew someone that lived in Amuana and we
heard that someone was letting her fireworks and there's the
house on fire. And then it got back to us
that David Gray has started shooting. We had we knew

(02:34:04):
it was going on as it was opening.

Speaker 3 (02:34:07):
Yeah. Are you so you knew that? You you that night?

Speaker 20 (02:34:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:34:11):
Yeah, yeah, because I was thinking no one ran talkback
and go as an update. But bearing in mind, when
I was starting talkback, it was just ones he'd be
so it actually just went to Auckland. It was only
later on I think that was broadcast more up. But
that's probably one of the reasons. But Matt, thank you
for coming through. I've got to run, but nice to
talk to you. I really appreciate that. See thirty five
years today or today and tomorrow, it was over both

(02:34:32):
the thirteenth and the fourteenth that those people were killed
at Aramuana eighteen to twelve. Good evening, Kathleen, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (02:34:41):
Oh good one. I think I'm ringing in. But too late, Marcus.
You'll be finishing soon, won't you.

Speaker 3 (02:34:46):
Yeah, that's all right though. I like people at any time.

Speaker 16 (02:34:47):
No, I just want well, I was wondering if anybody
had been calling in, and it's too late now they
probably won't to call on now about about this bio illuminescence.
Oh yeah, in the round the beaches in an Auckland.
I haven't seen it myself.

Speaker 3 (02:35:04):
I got an alert on that, right, yes, and it
wasn't until I saw the paper so I realized how
great the shots were. Look, the glow was amazing.

Speaker 16 (02:35:15):
Yes, well, there's been hundreds of people coming to places
around Auckland, to some of the beaches, and I don't
know whether anyone has phoned in about it it has
seen it or not. So I thought it would be
a good topic, wouldn't it.

Speaker 8 (02:35:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:35:29):
Yeah, and I've missed I've missed my boat on that one,
so yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:35:32):
You're right.

Speaker 16 (02:35:33):
Yes, it's it's like a bloom. Apparently, apparently in the
daytime you may be able to see a slight red
color hue on the water to indicate that it may
be there at night time, and it's like it leads
like a bloom in the water and it disperses with
all the waves and it causes the spioluminescence.

Speaker 3 (02:35:56):
Yeah, okay, I like the sound of that, which is the.

Speaker 16 (02:35:59):
Chemical that's in you know the fish that light the
fish down on the depth light up. It's from plankton
and stuff like that. It's that sort of a chemical
that causes this bioluminescence bloom in the.

Speaker 3 (02:36:15):
Water, and I just saw stand more, baby, it saw
the bays right around the peninsula, is it?

Speaker 16 (02:36:19):
Yes, that's right, it's been why Heickey.

Speaker 3 (02:36:21):
OK that's good.

Speaker 16 (02:36:23):
Okay, Yes, yes, apparently Why Hickey was beautiful. So there's
been quite a few and maybe well also I believe
maybe the West coast as well.

Speaker 3 (02:36:37):
And how often do they.

Speaker 6 (02:36:38):
Say it happened?

Speaker 3 (02:36:39):

when it came because you only said it night obviously,
