Rise in Street Litter
I am noticing a significant increase in the amount of street litter around Auckland.People can we keep our empty soda cans,plastic bottles and fastfood packaging in our cars or on your person UNTIL YOU GET HOME or FIND A RUBBISH BIN.Dispose of waste responsibly.Road side edges and grass islands are becoming an eyesore(plus it's NOT at all good for the environment).NZs "clean and green" reputation is diminishing.To The Auckland Council, I ask: what has happened to the litter patrol guys on the motorcycles; to the frequent stormwater drain suction cleans and to the road side sweeping? A good number of stormwater drains are visibly blocked with RUBBISH.Some areas are now experiencing street flooding when it rains heavily.When each area had it's own council,streets were cleaner and drains were clean.This Super City Council is not coping.Let's do better at keeping Auckland and NZ CLEAN.Throw your drink and takeout rubbish in a bin,NOT ON THE STREET and tell others to do the same.

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