meomy 971 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 How many of them have had the same Nannies, homehelpers, gardener & tradesmen over the years at different times? It's understood mark Bryers of Blue Chip employed the former nanny of Jeffrey CHAPMAN, ex Chairman of Accident Compensation Corporation & on Board of NZ Accountants who spent time inside for Fraud. The former nanny of both Bryers & Chapman would no doubt have some very useful information to share with the Police etc & one would hope she gets permanent Police Protection for doing so.

Add to that the abolishment of apprenticeships resulting in the lack of skilled workers.
