Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Lance Barnard might be the oldest barber in Wellington.

“It only feels like yesterday that I was the youngest,” Barnard jokes with a client. A fortnight ago Barnard moved from the barber shop on Courtenay Place where he spent the last 40 years cutting hair, to Cuba Barbers on Cuba Street.

Does anybody know if there has been a barber cutting hair longer than Lance.

Bissell Little Green portable deep cleaner

Julie from Karori

This stain remover is excellent for spillages, spots, pet stains, upholstery and the car. I bought it at the time, because I thought my large Bissell carpet cleaner could not be fixed, but I was wrong, so I have only used this cleaner about half a dozen times.

I bought it at the time, because I thought my large Bissell carpet cleaner could not be fixed, but I was wrong, so I have only used this cleaner about half a dozen times. It is for sale at Godfreys for $249, so this is a bargain. Godfreys also sells the carpet shampoos for this machine. The Bissell is in excellent order and comes with the user guide.
It is very easy to operate.

Hey neighbours,

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.
