Sun readers have their say... Q: What do you think of the new Phone Book?

It’s not too much of an issue as I tend to use the yellow pages on the internet, but it must be hard for the elderly.
I definitely liked the bigger lettering in the old phone book. It would also be nice if they brought back the art work on the front covers again.
The new phone book is shocking. The old one is much better, this new font is far too small, my wife can’t read it at all.
The font is ridiculously small, they didn’t think about all of the elderly living here in Blenheim. I threw the new one out and kept the old one instead.
It’s no good for me without my glasses, even the old one was hard to read, let alone a smaller one.
I haven’t even noticed. But who doesn’t get their glasses out to read it anyway. At least this way it has less pages, so it’s more economical.

Dear Ed, To rectify your article (Friday 9th March) - “NZ King Salmon operates five salmon farms...” There are two other finfish sites in the hands of King Salmon in the Marlborough Sounds. One site is leased, one is owned by NZKS, both licences are in Crail Bay in the Pelorus Sound. These two sites were fully operational and producing fish up until last year when NZKS acquired the sites from Pacifica Salmon. I was part of this changeover which initially looked
positive, then our place of work was shut down due to “a slow market”. I am not opposed to fish farms in the sounds, I think New Zealand King Salmon should prove they can efficiently farm all the water space they currently have before approval for more is granted. These farms could be making money for the community, whether the species is salmon, butterfish or nemo! If NZKS can’t utilise this asset let someone else do it. Kane McArtney
