Poll: How old do you expect a child to be when they can tell the time on an analogue clock?

Carly Gooch Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Children as old as 10 aren't able to tell the time on an analogue clock. Are you teaching your children/grandchildren to tell the time with the big hand and the little hand? Hit 'Reply' to tell us about your experiences and how old you were when you learned to tell the time.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Fast paced comedy!!

Naomi from Tahunanui

I have agreed at very short notice to be involved in a Nelson Fringe Festival show! Alice has turned 65. On her party evening, she nods off watching late-night telly, and wakes in Retirementland. A wacky adventure ensues - the Rat Race sweeps her along and a wry cat asks difficult questions.
A playful kiwi comedy about rediscovering identity, and exploring and embracing life beyond work.
Alice in Retirementland features all your favourite characters in crazy new scenes adapted especially for Alice's latest adventure - rediscovering what is really important to her now that she has reached retirement age.
This mad action will appeal to anyone whether or not they are in a similar stage of life - there will be laughs for everyone as you spot your childhood favourites in their new roles.
This fabulous perennial tale has lost nothing in the re-telling, and promises a great night out for all!
