Stacey Reporter from Stuff

It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

Auckland Transport suffered a 30 minute train suspension across the network due to a KiwiRail signalling fault yesterday. It was the second time in a week that trains were non-operational, network wide. Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said the delays were "not good enough".

Around the world, communities, schools, businesses, groups and people from all walks of life are taking big and small steps in solidarity with refugees. This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.

You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...

Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.

For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz

3 bedroom house all with en suites and an extra bathroom off the lounge.

Unfortunately our flatmate is moving back to Christchurch so we are looking for someone to fill her room. The room is available on 30th June.

The room is located on the bottom floor. Is comfortably fits a queen sized bed with side tables and drawers. It has a large wardrobe also.

Shared space includes kitchen, dining and lounge area all fully furnished with L shaped sofa and a wall mounted TV.

Outdoor space is a deck with seating and a bbq with a sad looking herb garden.

We are all working professionals in our early 30s. We are laid back, relatively active but enjoy a wine or beer or gin or vodka or whiskey after work and over the weekend.

We are all independent but will have a shared meal or go out for a drink or dinner on the odd occasion.

We are looking for someone who's relaxed and easy going and looking to share this amazing home.

If you are interested in meeting us, please send me a message with a bit more about yourself and I'll be in touch to organise a time to view.

No pets or smokers.

Poll: Do you ever eat food past its best before date?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

In the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.

In the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.

"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says Nash, "and then meat sometimes a good month past its date. It didn't smell bad. Rinse it off, good to go."

It was all part of his year-long experiment to test the limits on food that had passed its expiration date.
