Sometimes NZ makes me proud...
... at other times, I fear we may be losing it a little bit:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/71805158/reports-of-pushing-swearing-and-stealing-as-adults-go-dotty-over-countdown-dominos For reference - Countdown is a supermarket running a promotion using these little plastic dominos with cartoon characters printed on them. Obviously it is a way to entice the young ones to pester mum and dad to go to them instead of a different supermarket. I'm relatively confident they aren't trying to spread a popular form of gambling. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 ==

Our Woolworth's went belly up in the 90's, hope yours fares better

"Off topic, but I actually quite like that logo, I think it's a nice bit of design. It looks a bit like a W for Woolworths, as well as a bit like the C & D for Countdown, while still primarily looking like a pumpkin or similar vegetable. I suspect that sort of three-in-one interpretation is a bit harder to pull off than it seems, at least without it looking silly. Last edited by Mark_GGG on Sep 9, 2015, 1:30:09 AM

" Speaking of design with a vague NZ link - what are your thoughts on the random Triangle flag doing the rounds at the moment? I hate to say this, but I actually quite like it. It's the lesser of 5 evils, anyway. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 ==
