Council workers have been quick to clear inorganic rubbish.
Rant Recently I parked my car in the Northcrest carpark, Manurewa, while we attended a dinner in the RSA opposite. Returning to my car at 8.30pm, I found a note on the windscreen giving a phone number and "Ring me, I will pay". Sorry to say, it was an invalid phonenumber. Front passenger mudguard badly damaged. Unfortunately, no witness or security cameras in this carpark, resulting in me paying $300 excess. Why do people lower themselves to write invalid phone numbers and not even give their name and address and rego plate number? Graham S.

Rant Cheers to the person who made us late to an oncology appointment at Auckland City Hospital. Thanks to you, I had to push my baby's pram on to the road by a dodgy corner to get past your car. Jasmine
Rave Thank you so much to the great council workers who have been clearing the inorganic rubbish collection mountains. The work has been done so quickly and efficiently - especially along the Mt Wellington Highway. Diane
Rant To the people who left burger cartons, fried chicken cartons, an empty 40oz spirits bottle and drink cans all over the carpark spaces and grass at Allenby Park, Papatoetoe, when the empty rubbish bin was right there - shame on you. Fiona Allen
Rave Thanks to the local fisherman and his family who came to assist me and my partner in Otehei Bay, Bay of Islands, when I got a fishing hook through my wrist. Your help was much appreciated. Kerrie
