Letters to the editor: Bad spelling not a good look

Not a good look

Surely, even if the company that produced this signage (pictured) didn't know how to spell, the powers that be might have thought, hmmm this doesn't look right. Really not a good look. The sign is above the entrance to Piccadilly Arcade and huge. Please, somebody, fix it.

Disputed Maori numbers

Peter Dey (Letters, January 10) says that 5 per cent of local councillors throughout New Zealand are Maori. I don't believe him.
That disagreement can be easily settled. What is the source of that information?

Snail mail

As a change from the subject of Maori wards, may I describe something in my summer mail?
My Canadian penfriend wrote a letter on December 6 and according to the info on the envelope posted it in Cardale on the 12th. By airmail it migrated to New Zealand to be franked on the 4th of January. It arrived in my letterbox on the 10th. Four weeks for an airmail letter to cross the Pacific and find its way to a Tauranga suburb!

Right-wing views

I totally agree with C Humphreys (Letters, January 12) regarding Tommy Wilson and Peter Dey, they can criticise all they want about anyone, but when we criticise them our letters are edited. Because some of us don't adhere to the left-wing views it appears our opinions are not worthy of printing in full. As most of your editorials are biased to the left, how about giving us some balance and employing someone with a real view of the world as we know it, real news not just the left-wing view.
