What are your thoughts on video stores?

Reporter Western Leader

Hi neighbours, there is apparently one United Video store left in the city. The owners of United Video in Blockhouse Bay are selling more than 50,000 DVDs as their business is no longer sustainble. Do you miss video stores? Did you go to the United Video store in Blockhouse Bay?

Hi neighbours,

We recently heard from a man who received a delayed remaining annual leave entitlement upon his resignation because his manager wouldn't accept a handwritten resignation letter.

If this has happened to you, we'd like to hear from you! What did your letter say? Was it professionally written but still rejected?

What was your manager's reason for rejecting it? What did you do about it?

Let us know in the comments or email caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz.

The Trusts West Liquor slowly expanding their grasp

Fiona from Henderson

WOW!! Imagine my surprise & disgust when I went to quickly visit WestCity Mall yesterday and saw an alcohol shop IN THE MALL!!!
WHY??????
I was looking for that rather quirky but fabulous $2 dollar shop that was next to Harvey's Real Estate (at the bottom of the travelator - level 2), near Hollywood Bakery and saw that it had gone an in its place was this intrusive alcohol shop, 'Village Wine & Spirits'
Now I haven't been in the mall since way before Christmas, but goodness gracious me, they moved so fast to get this in the mall.
I loved that quirky wee shop - it had almost anything you needed and so affordable. I am going to miss it.
I also noticed that there are quite a few empty spots and a few new shops in WestCity mall now.
Westgate must be making a difference to WestCity now.
On another note, when did shopping malls in New Zealand allow alcohol shops in there?
Don't we have more than enough Trust outlets out here in the West?
Why do we need one in the shopping mall?
Only The Trusts could get around any possible clause that was prohibiting alcoholic shops from being in there.
**Shaking my head in utter disbelief**

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.

Hit-and-run driver gets home detention

"He was sentenced to four months' home detention, 12 months' disqualification from driving, and was ordered to pay $4000 in reparation to the victim's family"

"He was sentenced to four months' home detention, 12 months' disqualification from driving, and was ordered to pay $4000 in reparation to the victim's family"
That's all he got for killing a 14 year old?😒😒
So the courts calculated that this poor wee angel that died was only worth (approx) $285.71 per year that she was alive - WTH!!!
"He's remorseful for what he's done" - really? Or is he just remorseful he got caught?
He was driving an unregistered and unwarranted car with both alcohol and cannabis in his system when this happened.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
The poor wee young lady's family are far more generous and forgiving than most of us would be.
