Hi everyone, thanks for your thoughts - an interesting discussion for sure! Comments are now closed.

Despite having been the law for almost a quarter of a century, thousands of cyclists are thumbing their nose at wearing a helmet.
Figures show 29,399 fines have been issued to cyclists for failing to wear their helmet over the past four years, prompting some people to call for a law change.
What do you think? Should we change the law and make it legal to cycle without a helmet? Why or why not? If you don't want your comments printed in our paper, add NFP at the end.

Old vacuum cleaner?

Walter from Silverstream

I want to cut a channel into a brick wall using an angle grinder.

The channel isn't deep / long, but there will be a lot of dust - which will pretty much destroy any vacuum cleaner I use to suck it up.

I've asked this here once before, but if anybody has an old, nearly dead, but … View more
I want to cut a channel into a brick wall using an angle grinder.

The channel isn't deep / long, but there will be a lot of dust - which will pretty much destroy any vacuum cleaner I use to suck it up.

I've asked this here once before, but if anybody has an old, nearly dead, but still working vacuum cleaner they'd be happy to part with, please let me know.

My alternative is to buy a new $40+ vacuum cleaner from the warehouse and then throw it away after using it.

I'd rather not do that. It'd be a shame to put that amount of plastics and electronics in the tip after only one use. Better to use something already pretty much at the end of its life.

Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?

We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.
