Thoughtless person
I know that this discussion has been brought up in the past - I think it is rude, inappropriate and lazy when walking your dog down the road, to put your bag of dog crap in someone else's EMPTY wheelie bin!!! Why should I have to put up with the smell of your large dog's crap for the next week!!! If the wheelie bin was still full and it was waiting to be emptied I have no problem with it as it would have been taken away that same day and I would never have had to see/smell it. I pay for my wheelie bin for my own use, not yours!! If I do ever find out who it was don't worry I will return the favour!! Perhaps think next time as I doubt you would be pleased if someone did the same thing to you!! At least one good thing, you actually picked up your dogs crap unlike other owners walking down Joll rd that just let their dogs crap where ever and leave on other peoples front lawn!!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
