    Businesses that were blatantly ripping people off in the boom years are closed down or will be soon.
    And Topaz have nicer signage than Statoil.

    not feeling like a loser for paying off my mortgage, I was actually told that once:D

    ah.. starbucks. Everytime i tried going into the one on Dame St, it had a queue full of teenagers with fake american accents and cheeriful emo kids who were not conforming to 'the herd image'. :rolleyes:

    Pity the coffee kiosk in the Ilac is gone. They always made me a nice coffee.

    hopefully they'll stay at home watching the last few episodes of Xpose* on TV3, and crying over the tacky bling shite they can no longer afford, instead of taking up valuable space in my locals beer garden :)
