Poll: Sneezes, hiccups and excuses.

Reporter Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

Hay-fever season is descending upon us, in great gusts of pollen and bouts of sneezing. This got us talking (and sneezing) in the office. Does a sneeze or hiccup require an "excuse me"? What do you say when you sneeze or hiccup?

Are you for, or against?

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
