NEW ZEALAND’S NATIONAL postal service has started delivering Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in a bid to counteract revenue losses.
NZ Post and the fast food giant have launched a pilot scheme in the North Island city of Tauranga.
Mike Stewart, a spokesman for NZ Post, told the Guardian the company needs to diversify its business as the number of letters being posted in the country has halved in the last decade.
“All post offices around the world are struggling with what to do when mail disappears, we want to survive for another 100 years but we urgently need to diversify our business.
“People want their goods on-demand delivered to their home in 30-60 minutes, that seems to be where the world is going. So we’ve been experimenting with being the delivery service for the health sector, the construction sector and especially hospitality,” Stewart said.

Wish I found something like that in my attic
A great museum well worth a visit.
Excellent, got to be one of his best that I have seen, that’s my opinion and taste.
Norway eh, not so long ago they were poor, now they have too much money to know what to do with and Van Goughs stuffed in the attic.
Paintings that is, Not the family.
good stuff
It’s beautiful
True, Declan. I’m not a huge fan of some of his most famous work but this one appeals to me greatly.
Are they sure it’s not fake? It’s not very good is it?
It’s an absolutely amazing painting, will see it later this year
Good for u . Hopefully we will all have time to devote to such activities – as they are as necessary as food itself .

The original owner bought it ten years after it was supposedly painted. He says it was a forgery. I would tend to believe him. Why did he think that. He was a collector so he would have known what he had bought.
Looks like a kid painted that
moron
Hmm! I wonder why this wasn’t authenticated years ago. There are 50million+ reasons why this painting has been ” authenticated”. Seems a bit fishy to me.
The brush strokes look almost too van Gogh, and the palette is not quite right. But then, no one asked me. And I would authenticate mouse droppings for art if I got a share ins 50milllion windfall.
Thing is art is false economy but a very gpod false economy. Its almost celebrity orientated this goes from 50 euro up to 50 million cos of his name. Could not sell a painting when alive. I see amaxing talent in local artists. Had their paintings had a famous name attached then it goes up to stupid money.
Sure id take 50m for it but looking at it honestly id offer 100 eurp for it max to have it over fireplace
And may i ask how you came to this conclusion without seeing the work?
You may. I have an iMac large screen computer with a zoom. Had a good look and made a general observation. Not a conclusion as I would have to be an ” expert” for that with a 50million motive, not just a run of the mill BFA.
Point taken
Oh, you zoomed in with your iMac? Please tell me more about how you spent over a thousand on a computer that is really worth half that, while you discuss the price you feel this painting should be.
€1300 actually.
have your say
