Shoe shooing
Only one shoe repairer left in Upper Hutt with the long established shoe and leather man moving onto to the Wairarapa.
So took my clean trainers to the one still standing for toe gluing. Forty dollars he said. What, I said. Needs cleaning too said the other man behind the counter. I may as well buy a new pair I said.
And I left.
Only two shoe repairers in Lower Hutt and went to one of them with the trainers. $10 bucks he said. OK, I said.
Maybe another reason to shop further down the line.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
