Upper Hutt Gone In A Blink

Michael from Trentham

Two weeks ago Upper Hutt was the the most expensive city, town or council area in NZ to rent a house. Now it is not.

Two days ago Upper Hutt had one of the poorest rates for Covid 19 vaccinations in the Wellington region including the Wairarapa. Now it is not.

Either changes happen quicker than the speed of sound or the two pieces of news were dated before they were relaid to the world.

With rent, UH has been superceded by those you would bet your inheritance on as being from number one to number 10.
With vaccinations - only Wellington City with its millions of civil servants, is ahead of UH.

What's next? Sudden stunning proof that Upper Hutt is enjoying a better, warmer climate than Lower Hutt?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT

Michael from Trentham

Set the scene:

CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.

Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.

Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.

Gave me a laugh.
