No mail delivery for week of 5th to 10th February 2018
We had no mail in St Aubyn St East, Perivale for all of last week. I wondered if it was being stolen or accidentally put in a neighbour's letterbox. I rang up the TV Guide and others whose mail I was expecting and they all said they'd been posted. Then yesterday a large pile of mail arrived, some of it postmarked 31st Jan. Today I contacted the post office via their 0800 number and I felt they thought I was making it up. But have spoken to other neighbours this evening - one live in Heretaunga St, and they have said that they also had no mail deliveries last week but got it yesterday. We usually don't get mail on Tuesdays so guess the postie was catching up.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
