Cameron House (0896-1) the view from the front:

Paul from Levin

Last week I referred to this house as owned originally by a Capt. Cameron. However, when Joanna Baylis described the decades of personal experiences in the house, I've left the Captain's name out of the title. Joanna wrote:
"This is my grandparents old house from Wanganui. It was built at Wicksteed St and they lived there for decades. We spent many years visiting for holidays, weekends and Christmas. Their name was Cameron and they were school teachers. When they sold, it was purchased for a commercial office and called Cameron House. Then years later it was relocated. Not sure who Captain Cameron is but I'm sure my grandfather would be chuffed and amused. This is a beautiful old home."

Thank you Joanna!

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
