Rave Subway 131 Lincoln Rd, Henderson deserves some recognition. They kindly picked up my wallet, which I left on the table, and looked after it for me, until I returned to collect an hour later. Their honesty deserves some praise! - Anne, Henderson.
Rant I agree that removing tails should stop immediately inNew Zealand. I don't think the likes of boxers, doberman, rottweiler and many other dog breeds should have their tails removed. We currently have a boxer with a tail and it has certainly added a lot of personality! We've had boxers before without their tails and it just doesn't look right. We do have to watch the wine glasses on the coffee table now! - Luba, Remuera.
Rave Big ups to the new Te Uru gallery in Titirangi. Fabulous architecture, fabulous location and a superb community resource. - D. Pacey.
Rant Has anyone else noticed the number of cars with broken or faulty headlights? On one early evening journey in the Franklin area (15km) I passed 11 cars with lights not working properly. - Bob Christie.
Rave I am one of many parents, grandparents and supporters who help at the Mercury Bay Area School "Breakfast Club" and I would just like to say that the children we look after each morning are extremely pleasant and most well behaved that I have had contact with in a long time. Good on you MBS for producing such well-mannered young people. - David Littlejohn, Whitianga.
Rant People who live on busy roads and back out of their driveways into traffic, even when there is room to turn inside their properties. - Terry C.
