Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? π°οΈ
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?
-
41.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.3% No, I enjoy it
-
1.5% Other - I'll share below
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? β
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weβve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and itβs a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets βοΈ
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
-
42.9% I avoid spending money on coffee
-
41.1% I still indulge at my local cafe
-
16% Irrelevant - coffee is not for me
