However, the museum hopes the gender balance will improve with more publicity of the event during the next couple of weeks. Would you give the singles' night a go? What's your idea of a perfect first date?

Water

Louise from Clevedon

Come on people the water situation is SERIOUS. I am rural every drop of water is Precious. My showers, baths, dishes, washing machine water is saved daily to feed my garden, very large garden. We are proud of how we save water yet those who are urban are still washing their car, windows, waterings … View moreCome on people the water situation is SERIOUS. I am rural every drop of water is Precious. My showers, baths, dishes, washing machine water is saved daily to feed my garden, very large garden. We are proud of how we save water yet those who are urban are still washing their car, windows, waterings the gardens. The one that angers me the most is the construction site. You drive past to see it running down the drain. Then there is the issue that they have removed ALL of the trees. HELLO WORLD what attracts rain. TREES ! Every single house hold needs to plant a tree for every person in that household, hopefully we will see some rain. Oh water that tree from your shower water you saved not from your hose. Good luck Auckland you are the only ones who can change this situation for the better.
