  1. Just had it replaced after about 5 years. $1100 including 6 hours labour at 95 plus gst.
  2. 6 is the temp for beer. Many places keep their white wine in beer frigs which kills the taste. The recognised standard for white wine is 14 c. The difficulty can arise in keeping it at that on a warm day. That is where an ice bucket comes in to hold the temperature not chill it. Typically if a bottle has been in a frig for any length of time it needs 20 minutes or so to warm from 6 to 14.
  3. A new 32' would probably be about 500K inclusive of tax and fitted out for blue water. Small wonder that even forty years or so ago that was unaffordable for most. More common was an 18 ' trailer sailer which even so probably cost two years average wages. now you might buy a 32-38 in the given range of 40-70k. Nearly all boats require ongoing maintenance and periodic replacement of expensive items, sails rigging, motor, electronics etc. A pristine boat will be rare and at a premium.

A few perhaps the more knowledgeable know enough to pay a fair but not excessive price. A satisfactory outcome is one both are happy with or at least can live with. In the ca
  6. I suspect the prosecution or reclaiming of money received from an estate referred to earlier relates to benefit other than NZS. On an invalids benefit or DPB etc one has to declare any other income which is then pro rata taken off the benefit. The catch is income is defined by statute as any money or other benefit received. This was meant to cover such things as subsidised housing. It also was meant to limit the benefit income to cases where there was little or no other income, that is not just salary or wages but say investment income. An anomaly arises in say making a bank withdrawal one
