Then there's the story of Jack Lum, the guy who runs the greengrocer that has been in place in Remuera for over 70 years, told by some officials that he could open and then told by a policeman in plain clothes that he must shut down with no notice and he couldn't even trade out the day. Well, Jack tells me it takes 500 man-hours to get the store going again, and at his age, he's not sure if he'll get it going again. The crazy thing is that just across the road, Fruit World Greenlane continued to operate. Jack was told that he couldn't operate because he's near a supermarket, Remuera New World. Well, so is Fruit World Greenlane next to the Countdown of the same name.
