A son discovers his father was a war hero

Mandy Te Reporter from Western Leader

Hi neighbours, a man found out his father was a war hero only after his death. When Graham Hanson's dad died in 1999, he inherited his dad's letters, tickets stubs, a used serviette, dirty letters sent to girlfriends, and even a bus ticket up to Trieste. His father never spoke about his efforts in the war and his children never asked. Watch the video and read the story.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
