Got an opinion on fireworks? Share it with us

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?

Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

We want to know… View more

There was an interesting article in the news that came up on the computer this morning with regard to recent cases of Gold Card Fraud.
For those of you who have one, ( or who may have elderly parents with one), like me until recently ,you may not be aware that if it is taken to your local AA office along with suitable identification they will put the holders photo on it for free!
Not only does it identify the holder and possibly stop it being used if lost, but it can also be useful as a means of Identification particularly if a person no longer has a driving licence which is the normal means of photo  ID.
It was not mentioned in the article which surprised me, but very few of the people and friends I have talked to have ever heard of it.
It is surprising how many businesses will give you a discount if you ask for it.
We most frequently use ours at our local Challenge Garage that gives a 15 cents per Litre discount when it is produced every time.
We have also used it to travel free on the Diamond harbour Ferry and will be going to Auckland soon and intend to use it to visit Waiheke Island.
We do not use them on the bus services but as I understand it free bus travel outside the busy travel periods is one of the main benefits that the cards are used for.
So please protect your cards and don't let them be abused or we may all loose them and that would be a sad loss.
Cheers and have a great day. Colin B.
