Looking for a rental woes....
So this today - young married couple saving for a first home. They find the ideal wee 1 bedroom place on it's own small section not far from work, book for four days away to view it and go along today all excited and hopeful to find a NOTE on the door telling them it was gone. No text or call, no courtesy, nothing. And to add insult to injury... the landlady was watching them through the window as they read the note! One young lady crying all the way home... RUDE.. I hope the tenant they picked is exactly what they deserve :( be careful who you rent from I say, that is mean.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
