The Sun Recycling? Just curious. Electric Cars, which country is going to be the place to recycle the millions of batteries! Who is to pay out the carbon credits for recycling? New Zealand? Planting trees!
Out of kilter? Rates set against Local Govt Cost Index (LGCI) which measures pipes, gravel, and stuff councils use. Bears no resemblance to the CPI our salary and wage increases. Out of kilter with reality? Yeah, why not!
Bring back FPP MDC use Single Transferable Vote (STV) system in elections. I don’t like some computer software programme no one can explain giving my vote to someone I didn’t vote for. Yep, that’s how it works folks! That while you’ll see signs saying #1. That’s the ranking they want. Don’t do it!!! Bring back FPP!

Whatever happened
Rudy
GOOD BEHAVIOUR = CHOCOLATE isn’t it sad that we need to reward good behaviour from people watching netball on the side of the court. Whatever happened to good old manners and respect. What is this teaching our future generation? Let’s behave long enough to get some chocolate then we can go back to being disrespectful!!
Great 5 minutes in Friday Sun with Rudy the face of Rock Ferry. He certainly makes that place, a true hospitality professional.
Not a crossing Thank you very much NOT to the idiot in the silver station wagon who stopped in the middle of Alabama between Brian Bary Place and the Maxwell Road roundabout to let someone cross the road from the centre to the left. Would have been a nice gesture had you looked in your rear view mirror and realised you were in a LINE OF TRAFFIC and she was NOT on a crossing! Good job I was keeping my distance eh. Good job the bloke behind me was too! You PLONKER!.
Always in credit I got a letter from Trustpower saying I have to pay an extra $1.85. Cause I pay my power bill at the post office I am always in credit. I am a pensioner. We are used to doing things the old way. Don’t have computer. Thank god for that. Thanks for taking more money off me.

Loved every minute The combined colleges production of Young Frankenstein last week... WOW... what talent we have here in Marlborough. Loved every minute of it. Sage we thought you were amazing.
Health costs When we travel, most of us have insurance. When we book into a hotel, we hand over our passport until the account is paid. When we go to hospital we need proof of cover or passport. Why is it not the same here or bill the embassy first? It is now common knowledge amongst travellers that here healthcare is free. We remain naive to any overseas abuser of our friendliness.

The CEO of MDC tells us the population will swell by 8,000 by 2043. That’s 330 people p.a. A Boeing 777 seats about 400. The death rate according to Stats NZ year ended Dec 2018 was 400. We are “shrinking”. So who’s going to pay ever increasing rates when we keep spending on “nice to haves” Off the chart policies while essential core services are long overdue Haha, I did a small chuckle when I saw the for attention? Vote very carefully. A fish rots from Monday’s express paper - page 9 the cartoon at top, OPINION. the head down! Lol, Winston keeps the Greens in check with their off the chart greenie policies, too liberal for their own good, or that of most thinking Cellphone drivers people. Personally I don’t think holding a cellphone to What a shambles it would be if everything they your ear is the problem, hands free is just as a MINOR party got their way. dangerous because drivers are thinking about Winston is a minor too, true, but he does have their conversation instead of driving. a thinking thing on top of his head. It’s no different to eating, drinking or scratching your nose while driving, should that be banned too. What a joke.
