Rant I saw a pregnant lady on the bus offer her seat to an elderly lady. Meanwhile, college teenagers were going about their conversations. What ever happened to commoncourtesy? My, the times have changed! Gerald, Epsom
Rave Even though dads make terrible jokes and say embarrassing things, dads are the best. Dads are easy to talk to and won't yell at you if you lose your keys, or sweater, or shoes. Dads will do anything for their daughters, even if it means being late for work or staying up late to help you if you're sick. So next time your dad tells a joke, laugh, because he helped you all those times you needed help. Mya Snelson
Rant I agree with Carol regarding indicating at roundabouts, but she shouldn't have to sit and wait for cars approaching on the opposite side. She should have plenty of time before the other vehicle gets close to her. It is helpful when people indicate before they exit, but if they are waiting for vehicles further back, they are holding up traffic. The rule is to give way, not stop and wait. Fred Jones
Rave On Friday I attended the Auckland Food Show. It began to rain as I was waiting for my lift to come through the traffic. Thank you to the wonderful security staff who let me use their umbrella so both myself and the newly acquired goodies didn't get drenched. Breanna
Rant I have recently witnessed, on two occasions, drivers stopping outside properties and dumping their rubbish bags on top of the pile. Surely they have a rubbish collection day where they live. Put it out the night before if you don't want to miss it. Helena
Rave What an excellent public library service we have in Auckland. The friendly, knowledgeable staff, the wide-ranging website and the convenient online services are outstanding. Add to that the cultural, social and educational events and facilities it offers, free of charge, and we have a service which immeasurably enriches our community. Thank you so much, everyone.
