I hardly think $8 for butter is something to really complain about. You still have access to a store with butter so be happy.

I gota pay $2 in fuel for the 10km trip to pay $5.50 for butter from the local dairy.

Let's all compare breast sizes

What is it with you Jafa's... there are now FAMILYS with NO jobs thats NO income and you think its ok that they have to pay DOUBLE... how the fark can they do that???

I dont think some of you have a real idea of what its like here... try stepping over bodys to get to someone else for a start, then try and live a week with no power, no water, no sewer and no bloody roof, just the food that wasnt destroyed in the quake.

ITS THE PRINCIPLE OF IT ALL

and remember $8 to a dorklander is like $11 to a southerner, just like you pay rate is higher than ours.

I see you list being in WA, you might want to move over and make room there will be a hell of a lot of us heading that way

.

I figured that was a bit tongue in cheek hence my reply, but you are right, good on them.

Hmmm, didn't have to look at your location to figure out you aren't in Christchurch...

Shame on you Rangiora dairy... un afected by the quake and taking advatage like that.

Butter is listed on the foodtown website @ between $4.30 for the homebrand stuff to $6.99 for the semi soft. Which type was Mrs GB trying to buy ???

Indeed it is. There's not many things worse than getting a punch in the face, but getting rammed in the arse by a dairy owner whilst you're still recovering from it is a bit on the nose.

What is it with Cantabrians.... a hell of a lot seem to have delusional fantasies about rich Jaffas being the source of all their problems.

The average WORKING person will be up for the tune of around $10,000 in extra taxes over the next few years to pay for this.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

You mean they aren't?

They teach us that in school down here

**nosebleed** · 28th February 2011, 21:41

I can't believe it. Not butter.

Nah your right, we never had to pay extra for roads we would never use, how do you work this 10,000 extra? So far the only mention of possible costs is for those of use with insurance for our houses and/or contents and that's to replenish the coffers of EQC, now what is annoying is some of those who pay insurances are still waiting for assessment from September and I personally know of some with no insurance who have through generous donations replaced and upgraded their broken items.

Now back on topic, went to the local dairy where the poor bloke behind the counter looked stuffed, I got talking to him and well he gave me a free loaf of bread, simply because I offered him a kind word so there are some good bastards out there.

They are all jumping on the CHCH earthquake gravy train.

A friend (not from CHCH) was looking at a house in Nelson yesterday and the estate agent told her that she had better hurry up with making an offer because soon there will be an influx of Christchurch people moving to Nelson.

Truth ? or taking advantage of others misfortune?
