0800 helpline set up for people struggling to get food

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hi neighbours,
Waikato people struggling to get food and other necessities during lockdown now have a number to call.

Freephone 0800 800 405 was set up by the Waikato Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group for people struggling to get food, groceries, medication or other household goods and services.

The group is not yet sure how big the need is, and say the 0800 number doesn't replace other Government helplines.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

Poll: Have you noticed a change in fuel prices?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato businesses and consumers are shrugging off volatile fuel prices - for now.

A barrel of Brent crude spiked to US$117 - the highest levels since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 - on Monday before diving on Tuesday morning (NZT) to about US$85 per barrel. Prices later recovered to US$90 a barrel.

Have you noticed a change in fuel prices? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
