Thank you to our amazing team of volunteers; a special group of people who dedicate their time and skills to ensure the smooth running of the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle.
This vital MECOSS service enables elderly people in our community, to not only be taken from point A to point B to do their shopping, but also gives them a feeling of control of their sense of independence and dignity.
Our amazing team of volunteers include;
Maureen McKechnie
Jan Blyde
Clare Christini
Margaret Nash
Lee Fowler
Peter Hodson
Kathy Kennedy
Annette King
John McKillop
Kurt Meyer

Thank you for your compassion and awareness for seeing the need and responding to it. Thank you for your patience, respect and perseverance. But most of all thank you for your kindness, care and love and for being inspirational New Zealanders.

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?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

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?
