China cups

Chris from Lyall Bay

Hi
I am trying to source some props for a community theatre play which goes on in a week and a half and I am hoping you might be able to help. I need 4-5 old china teacups. They don't need to be in a good state, In fact chipped and cracked is what I am looking for. I thought i would easily be able to find some in second hand shops or the tip shop but they all seem to come in sets with plates and saucers and are all in perfect condition and prices are from $8-$25!
If you have any old chipped china cups that you don;t want anymore please contact me ASAP and I will put them to good use.

Come and check out the play too. It is the amazing Irish play "Translations" by Brian Friel and is on at The Gryphon Theatre on Ghuznee street from 4th May to 14th May. Check out The Stagecraft website for more details. www.stagecraft.co.nz...
Come and see the teacups in action!
Thank you
Mary Coffey (director)

We're taking the bus!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.

Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.

It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.

It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.

With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
