Free dog walking :)

Shell from Brookfield

Hi all, does anybody have a friendly dog who needs to be walked? My children and I are looking to befriend a dog who would like to head off for a walk after school or possibly a run in the evenings. Dogs are good motivators! Must be a happy and well trained dog, friendly around children.

Poll: Should fireworks be banned?

The Team from ACC New Zealand

Setting off fireworks has become an annual Kiwi backyard tradition, and it’s almost time to break out the sparklers again. However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.

Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.
