Just checking, who knows this?

Eva from The Brook

As a slightly scared lady (always wanted to be a lady! ;) ) cyclist, I would be interested in finding out something.
How how many of you know the expression "Sail before Steam", and how do you understand it?
Thank you.

Then there is the price of the products which when you place an order you expect to at least get what you paid for, but know items missing. Then we requested to have the fish crumbed instead of battered, told no problem but as we found out later at a cost of one dollar a piece extra all other fish and chip shops we have been to. In the past few months only charge fifty cents. Then we ordered two oysters. These had been cut in half and barely larger than a twenty cent piece and not much thicker and costing 3.90 each, when I ordered them the cashier said they were of good size, it proved definitely not . Next the order of chips was barely enough for one person, definitely only half of what we received recently when we ordered the same amount. Then there was quality of the meal, very over cooked, chips overdone, fish cooked overcooked and dry, oysters overdone to become hard/crunchy. And don’t forget the missing item not supplied. No we didn’t return to complain because the distance to travel and timing didn’t allow and as it is the third time we have had items not supplied in our order at this same shop and over cooking to where there fish is dry.

New year, old freedom camper tricks.

Carly Gooch Reporter from The Nelson Mail

It may be a new year but it's still the same old conundrum about freedom campers and whether they're a blessing or a curse.

Two spots in Golden Bay, Waitapu Bridge and Taupata Point have been officially dropped from the freedom camping list but they continue to attract overnight stayers. What are your thoughts on freedom campers, should we be catering to them, are there benefits to them or should we be discouraging it?

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue.

Have you protected your home against external fire?

Katy Jones Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Residents St Arnaud are told not to rely on fire crews to evacuate them, after lessons from the Lake Ōhau wildfire, and with predictions of more days of extreme fire risk due to climate change. Locals are urged to "firesmart" their homes, and replace vegetation with less flammable plants… View moreResidents St Arnaud are told not to rely on fire crews to evacuate them, after lessons from the Lake Ōhau wildfire, and with predictions of more days of extreme fire risk due to climate change. Locals are urged to "firesmart" their homes, and replace vegetation with less flammable plants but some villagers want more firebreaks near the village. Do you think enough is being done to protect vulnerable communities from wildfire?
