FYI it is Kelly's Canter - like a run.

The heater at the train station will be a waste of time wouldn't it seeing as none stop there for fare paying punters?

Sounds like a good "Mish" out to Palmy.

Another good ep in my inbox - 4 and a half stars!

"The first major stop is at Waitati, where the local garage is selling Holy Cow milk and Evansdale cheese. I naturally wince at the cost of petrol"

I'm a bit puzzled by this because we don't have a petrol station (or garage) in Waitati. The building used to be a garage but is now an on the spot dairy.

Yeah good point. I got my garages/dairies confused. I'll amend. The wincing part should be under the Palmerston garage bit. Gah!

Your admission to parking without paying the required charge to DCC is disgusting. I do not pay my rates in Dunedin for this type of irresponsible defiance.

Thanks for your kinds words , Jimmy. I was prepared to pay a ticket. But luckily, I didn't get issued with one. Hamish 1 - Ratepayers 0.

Lee claims that he got one despite the machine not working. So there's still time.

Honestly how about a fair election this time around? Aaron doesn't deserve promotion and if Lee has a bad temper just let it show.

If the council had made sure the machines were able to take a Credit Card payment as advertised, he would have paid... So really, take it up with the DCC that their lack of maintenance on the machines/system cost them money.

This is true Toni. I apologise to you too Hamish. I do not claim to be a Dunedin resident without contrition.

Get the Pay My Park app, I never have coins, and you're using your credit card anyways 🤷‍♀️ But hey, did you get a ticket, or did you manage to sneak a freebie?

I got a freebie. Today was a good day.

Wow ... featuring some of the most undesirable real estate in Barmy Palmy all in one wholesome article! This place sure has some stonking heaps.

We need trains ... trains are cool ;) We need demolition excavators too ... to knock down the rotting heaps ... and why was a memorial to McKenzie erected upon the fair breast of Puketapu? Sacrilege!

Something here that you local journalists should write about. The subsidies must have ended by now right?

You lost with me the subsidies dig.

All the money that Jacinda has dished out to the media so as the coverage on this issue would be favourable. It might not have been directly into your hands but it is there.

My dig was along the lines of 'you can write about it now, right?'

So...there is money around in them's hands. Not your hands. It is there though. That's enough for me GUILTY, hangable 😄
