Poll: Have you ever seen a white tūī?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Maciej Kisiel thought it was a messenger from above when he saw a rare white tūī land in his cherry blossom tree.

The Te Miro resident had taken a break from doing fencing, and was having some mushroom soup with his partner Sarah on Sunday when they saw the bird out in their backyard.

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
