School Entrances and Judder Bars

Andrew from Trentham

As the first term ends and as the guardian to a Primary School Child and Kindergarten child, it is still to my horror that there are no Judder Bars at either entrance to Trentham Primary School nor Cottle Kindy.

Even though the law says there is a 40 km limit, it just leaves me shocked that come 08:30 - 09:15 & 14:30 - 15:30 when kids are being dropped off or picked.

The amount of moron drivers that drive through the narrow streets at speed without any concern for kids crossing the road is unbelievable. I know this will sound sexist but about 75% of said drivers appear to me as young women.

Where are the Police when you need them? I ask the council to now install kidder bars 25 meters apart at all the entrances. At Stephens Street, Thackeray Street, Sheridan Crescent.

Whilst at it, can you put judder bars ever 50 meters all around Thackeray Street to slow the not racers and Boy and down? Before someone including a child gets killed by one of these morons?

Same Again Dan

Michael from Trentham

Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.

Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.

Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.

His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.

Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.

Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
