Sandbags
We desperately need some sandbags to stop our garage flooding (again!!). Repeated calls to the council only got the response "we're not authorised to allow that". If the council can't help even in such a minimal way to *prevent* flooding before it happens, then I wonder why we "authorise" our banks to pay rates. Does anyone know where we can obtain sandbags (preferably free)?
I've tried Mitre10 and Bunnings. Trademe has some but they're expensive. Any ideas, folks?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
