First Picture in! Guinness World Book of Records for "Most Steampunks" achieved! (unofficially)

Kim from Thames

This is 252 Steampunks in one place, breaking the Guinness World Record for "Most Steampunks" at Thames on Historic Kopu Bridge!

(plus stewards/volunteers who are not in costume)

Steampunk The Thames say "Well it looks like we did it! Unofficial tally at 252. (Confirmation by Guinness may take a while as we have to collate and present all our evidence for sign off)

A huge thank you to all who helped make this happen You're awesome!"

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
