Must be the only tradies & construction workers in the world who utilise a military campus to know just when its time to pack up and go home on a daily basis from the blowing of a single bugle.

The workers at The Reserve area constructing housing on the Wallaceville Estate hear a loud, engaging and tuneful piece of bugling coming from a yard in the nearby Trentham military camp every day starting exactly at 5pm which is the time they finish work for the day.
The tune played is not The Last Post. So on most days they all turn up for work the next morning unless Covid intervenes.

In the past I have seen people offering their old doors away. Just wondering if anyone has a door that they would like to give away.

In our latest Newshub-Reid Research poll we asked, what do you think the official name of the country should be?
The results show 52 percent said keep it as just New Zealand. Just over a third - 36.2 percent - thought we should add Aotearoa in, and 9.6 percent think we should ditch New Zealand completely and go with Aotearoa.
Asked what he thinks our country's name should be, Hipkins said: "It's New Zealand but I'm also equally comfortable with Aotearoa as well."

"The official name of the country is New Zealand, and Aotearoa was never the name for this country by any Māori of this country, and particularly not the South Island."
