1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: To tell you what. I've only nostalgia paid the bills. Ay,

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: but when it comes to peaches, clearly it doesn't what

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: he's routers. I'm sure you're well aware by now. PAMs.

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: PAMs do a good line of imported stuff. Those who

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: buy peaches and tins like cheap a lot of us

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: like cheap. Cheap has never been more appealing in a

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: cost of living crisis, of course, And if I was

8
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: in the business of patriotic purchase, I would close my

9
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: door and go home. It does work, and I was

10
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: looking this up yesterday. It does work to a degree. Overseas.

11
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Australia's running a buy Aussie campaign which has had some traction. Canada,

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: you might be aware, gave it a good push post

13
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: that tariff debarcle. French are into it. But a place

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: like New Zealand, despite the rhetoric, has never really excelled

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: at being good at buying local hazard. I mean, PAMs

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: do peaches at ninety nine cents, Whatties are doing them

17
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: at three point ninety. They would have to be some

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: pretty spectacular fruit for that price. And that is why

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: what is they told us yesterday are out. Demand is down.

20
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: People are simply not buying that stuff anymore. Who needs

21
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Brian down the road in the bay when you can

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: have fruit from Lord knows where at a fraction of

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the price. Peaches are also out of favor, as Greg,

24
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: my hairdresser, and I were talking about yesterday afternoon. Who

25
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: buys cans of peaches anymore? Anyway? It's school camp food,

26
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: he said. But he might just be one of those

27
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: trendy urbanites. I walked him down memory lane with my

28
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: childhood canned fruit salad. You remember that day at peaches

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: and then pears and apples and two cherries, the cherries

30
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: with the prize. I'd happily burn a whole can of

31
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: syrupy crap to land those two cherries. Love the cherries.

32
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. One of the tricks in life

33
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: is honesty. When we face these issues, we burn a

34
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of energy and time on things we know aren't

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: going to work, or a past they use by date,

36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: or are indeed a waste of time. Marching, for Gars

37
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: is not saving a single life or stopping the war.

38
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: Turning up at cop thirty isn't going to get us

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: an inch closer, and at zero helling Clark is never

40
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: going to think more concerts in Eden Park is good

41
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: and we don't like local anything. If we pay more

42
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: than some cheap crap from Vietnam or TEAMU, it is

43
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: what it is for more from the mic Asking Breakfast
