* So we are getting more bus services put on within the region. Well let's hope the drivers are more helpful. The only one l have struck is the little English chap and a good driver. Most need a course on public relations.
* As a former breastfeeding mother, I agree with the cafe owner. I don't want to see breasts out when I am at a cafe. Just because a baby is attached to it, it doesn't detract from the fact that you are still exposing your breast! Be discreet!
* If pie man so sorry why not sell his red rocket car and give proceeds to charity, then downgrade car so he won't be tempted to speed? At least he'd be giving his own money away not creating more money for himself with new pies.
* With regards to Kronic being illegal. It will only make people turn to the real alternative, dope. It's no worse for you than alcohol so why not make that illegal too? Treat both the same. GE
* Would the man who picked white fluffy dog up in Kenilworth Rd please ring the owner on 876 0098
* To the gutless person who knocked off old people's mail boxes down Victoria St and left them on my front lawn. You need to think twice. I will catch you. How would you like it if I did that to your house? Grow up and act your age. SD
* Can Seddon Crescent residents please keep their dogs under control. Twice in one week I was woken for a couple of hours with constant barking.
* Interesting that the stats show Hastings child abuse cases almost 50 per cent higher than Napier, yet only half as many in foster care.
* Annoyed to come home from work on Monday to find my recycling bins blown away. I made sure they were secure and wouldn't blow around before they were emptied. Is it not possible for them to try to make sure bins don't blow away once empty. Dangerous when blowing across roads.
* Fog horns are part of a sea port, if you don't like the sound of fog horns move elsewhere. Safety comes first.
* Too many chemicals in Chinese watermelon. No government control. That's why I don't buy food from China. Trust NZ and Aussie.
