Nominated by Alan Middleditch from Dunedin: "My local motor garage is CJ Sinclair 50 Charlemont Street, Ranfurly 9332. The owner is Richard Smith whose family have been in the motor trade in the Ranfurly Naseby area for over 100 years. During the last years lock down our car broke down and would not start leaving us feeling quite uncomfortable as we live some distance from medical & other services. Richard came to our rescue and later returned to provide a more suitable repair. We need such companies and people in our rural areas. Richard demonstrates such excellent attributes required in our area."
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
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?
-
41.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.1% No, I enjoy it
-
1.6% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...

but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
