Petone traffic bottleneck
On Friday I had a 8.30 am app at the Wellington hospital, quick shower, gobbled down quick breakfast and took my coffee with me. all went well UNTILL I reached that dreaded area past the lights on Petone foresaw where it moves into SINGLE lane and dutifully got in line while traffic just passed us by presumably to turn right but MOST of them oh! no they carried on cars, vans and the rest till they got to the front of the queue and pushed their way in. and we did not move, if I was at the front of the line I would not let ANY of the B's in what do they think they have that the others of us do not why can SOMETHING be done about this, bad enough when they go round the roundabout and get in but the cheek of them large as life how I wish I could just take my car and straddle it across both lanes, but there might just be one honest person who does want to turn right, it is not right. what do other think and what can we do about we do about these cheeky gate crashers needless to say though I left one and a half early I did not get to my app on time

scumbags
There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
