Cardboard box.

Mark from Havelock North

I have a large sturdy cardboard box which I was about to destroy and send it to the cardboard cemetery. BUT, it looks so sad I wondered if someone might want to rehouse it before I give it the last rites?
It’s about twice as big as something half it’s’ size. Big enough to keep a small herd … View more
I have a large sturdy cardboard box which I was about to destroy and send it to the cardboard cemetery. BUT, it looks so sad I wondered if someone might want to rehouse it before I give it the last rites?
It’s about twice as big as something half it’s’ size. Big enough to keep a small herd of pups in for example.
Big enough for about 40 vegetarian pizza boxes.
I’m going out soon and deliver in havelock or ring me to come collect ASAP or else the box is history.

Shade Sail post holes

Steve from Havelock North

Does anyone know of a company or person who could dig 3 x holes for posts for a shade sail. The holes are 500 x 500 and need to be dug to a depth of 1500 mm. Holes have been marked and dug to approx 400mm through the hard surface. Require them dug as soon as possible. Thanks Steve

We're looking into how some common claims about NZ stack up and would be interested in your thoughts on whether Aucklanders really are disliked by Kiwis in other parts of the country. If you're an Aucklander, have you ever been made to feel bad about this on your travels? If you're from elsewhere, what are your thoughts on Auckland and Aucklanders? As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it included in an article. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Cheers.

Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

Kids crossing roads

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I know it seems like a nice thing to do, and you may feel it’s safer for the kids, but please don’t stop in intersections and roundabouts to let them cross.

I know it seems like a nice thing to do, and you may feel it’s safer for the kids, but please don’t stop in intersections and roundabouts to let them cross.

They need to learn they don’t have right of way, or they will keep just walking/biking/scootering out without stopping, because they believe everyone else will stop. And that puts them at risk.

Unless people are on the road already, traffic only gives way at pedestrian crossings. And the speed bumps in the centre of the village are not pedestrian crossings.

Zebra crossings, patrolled crossings and traffic light controlled crossings are. Anything else is either a speed bump or a courtesy crossing/safety break.

If it’s not marked with lights, signs or lines, pedestrians wait for traffic.

Kids, and a lot of adults, need to get back to basics “Stop, Look, Listen, Look again, Wait for traffic, Cross”.

And if you don’t want your kids to rush out into the road, don’t do it yourselves. Cross at pedestrian crossings, not down the road, and “SLLWC”. Kids see, kids do.
