Nice touch!

A mate of yours truly says he has recently noticed how the Fonterra tankers, seen driving up and down the country, are displaying a large ANZAC poppy on their grills.

The Hound’s pal reckons this is a nice touch, but suggests the ‘Lest we forget’ lyric, dedicated to the brave young men and women who died fighting for our country, may, for Fonterra suppliers, be equally a reminder of last season’s whopper $8.40 payout vs this year’s paltry $4.70.

Lest we forget, indeed!
