AIRPORT TAX It might be worth mentioning that the Airport Tax you are mentioning in your news letter is only applicable to AIR ZIMBABWE flights. Air tickets bought on SAA or BA Comair still include this airport tax. Guess Air Zim were not coughing up to ZIMRA and they have insisted on collecting taxes themselves at the airport. Obviously not payable in Zim dollars for foreigners.

APPEAL FOR 'THE WAY' CLINIC AT THE CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION ,KENT RD ,HILLSIDE This Clinic has been operating for 3 years to serve the needs of the poor and destitute in the area. It is run by a team of volunteers-two doctors,two nursing sisters with help from other nurses when they are off duty ,and several helpers. The number of patients has risen considerably over the last year ,exceeds 100 now and then so consequently more help is needed not least because one of the sisters and one doctor is going on leave shortly . The Clinic operates on Wednesdays from 10am to 1.00 or 2.00pm depending on the demand in the Parish Room which is entered from the church car-park . Our Appeal is for doctors and nurses/retired nurses who can give a few hours of their time on Wednesday mornings. We would also welcome gifts of medicines,bandages,pill boxes or anything else that might be useful in this service. Enquiries to Sister Dorothy Page tel 242704[evenings] 62847[business] or to The Revd Noel Scott tel 240977

PERHAPS A BIT-A SOMETHING FOR MM READERS WATER READINGS AND ACCOUNTS........ THE PROBLEM WITH "ESTIMATE" READINGS...... a.k.a. ANOTHER WAY TO MILK THE LONG-SUFFERING CONSUMER. I may have "the bull by the udder" or "the wrong end of the stick" but problems raised by the "estimate" readings are raising their ugly heads. I know we have rationing now, but as the Accounts are so far behind - the problem is current. As I see it......... "They" estimate my water account - lets say its 48.6 k/ltrs This they charge in tiers - 13.5 at 3363.07c = $ 45 401.45 10.7 at 8632.03c = $ 92 362.72 37.5 at 22831.62c = $856 185.75 Total 48.6 = $993 949.92 The next month is an Actual reading and they say I have a credit of 3.1k/ltrs...yipee This they give you on the basic tier of 3363.07c = 3.1 x 3363.07c= $ 10 525.52 Cr. recd. Instead of the top tier of 22831.62c = 3.1 x 22831.62c= $ 70 778.02 Credit due A difference of................. = $ 60 252.50 This may not be a lot for some but is a week's bread or milk for others (at present costs). Perhaps a finance boffin out there will be able to correct me / clarify this. Perhaps the City Treasurer will be able to shed some light on this ? This may well be the case with "estimated" ZESA too but I've not been lucky enough to have a refund yet? Concerned Comsumer

Just to let everyone to expect a big shock with the Zesa bills. I have a prepaid meter and on the 19th August I bought $ 100 000.00 of electricity and got 1854 units. On the 31st August I thought I would beat the " 100%" increase and bought another $ 100 000.00 and this time only got 327 units, a "567%" increase. I got a friend to query this with Zesa and they are adament this is the correct amount. So please prepare.

Thanks Dave Lowe

I have a pretty comprehensive library of music but if you've got old cassettes or LP records of your own that you particularly like, they, too, can be used to make up your own special CD (Provided they are in good condition). If you want to make the CD a really special gift you can compose your own introduction and deliver it in your own voice! Please contact me at : glyntonybw@zol.co.zw for further details".

Is your son or daughter having difficulty with A Level Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry?

Do the A Level classes contain 30 students rather than 10? Classes this size do not allow for much individual help.

If so, I can coach your son or daughter in the above subjects, having had 35 years experience teaching these subjects. I take only one student at a time, which ensures that the student has individual attention and help.

I also offer computer courses in MS Windows operating system, MS Word word processing, MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access database, MS Project Project Design, desk top publishing, AutoCAD computer aided design, MS Outlook Express e-mail, Internet browsing and search, Corel Draw, Corel PhotoPaint graphic design and digital photography.

Desperately seeking : After a couple of let-downs, I'm still looking for the "right maid". I'm looking for someone quick, efficient and no-nonsense to work part- time. However, I'll supply (single) accommodation on a full- time/ permanent basis and will help advertise and ensure that the lady has effective full-time work in the area. We have no kids resident (tho dogs & cats with grubby paws and too much hair). We do our own cooking etc, but I'd appreciate someone who can bake or cook a few dishes occasionally when needed (and happy to train someone with knowledge of basics to do a few standard dishes). Essentially, we need someone able to keep to a simple and basic plan whilst using a bit of sense/intelligence too. Someone honest and reliable. Able to speak fair English, be cheerful/sociable/, clean/ presentable etc generally. Will pay govt rates for the hours/days worked, but offer full-time accomm/home base (inc basic water/zesa etc) with separate veg garden/ shed storage and panic/alarm radio response etc.

Beware the bearded upholsterer!

There is a bearded upholsterer going around offering to fix car seats. He mutters some low price and then takes your seat to "look at". It is returned fully recovered and he demands an iniquitous price. Reputable upholsterers charge 3.5 million to cover a truck seat and the materials they use are around 250 000/m.

CAN ANYONE GIVE ME THE E MAIL ADDRESS OF THE MANCHURIAN RESTAURANT IN HARARE ?

I was surfing the internet in the hopes of being able to pick up some 'homemade' stir fry sauce recipes, when I saw your write up on restaurants. We used to frequently go to the Manchurian and loved eating 'stir fry' meals. My husband suffers with various allergies and I am kicking myself because I lost a wonderful little insert from the Your Family Nov 1994 which had a page of stir fry sauces made in the home. We used to have our own stir-fry get-togethers and I made the simple sauces which resembled those used in the Manchurian restaurant. I wondered whether you could give me the email address for the Manchurian who might help me with recipes that I can make here in the UK. daver@madgen3845.fsnet.co.uk
