Re The running of the sheep in Waipuk: Don't worry about the sheep, Elizabeth. Feel sorry for the people that have to clean up the poo afterwards.

Sadly, S Bathgate-Hunt, the Government doesn't give a flying shmuck about selling NZ land to the Chinese or anyone else. Money is the reason.

I agree with Greg regarding the beaches. Council, offer to pull your finger out and do something, instead of spending money on statues.
Warning people, re car insurance: Our insurance is market value. On the car lot our car is worth $48,000. On insurance books, it's worth $25,000. Check your policies.
Bruce Tait, you speak my language. A well-written letter to the editor. Well done!
Beneficiary bashing's always a good vote catcher.
Thumbs up from Des in Onekawa to the honest person who found my wallet at the beach and returned it by putting it in my letterbox. That was so kind.
