Poll: Do you use a top sheet on your bed?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Along with landline phones and bar soap, top sheets are allegedly an "endangered species".

It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

Around the world, communities, schools, businesses, groups and people from all walks of life are taking big and small steps in solidarity with refugees. This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.

You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...

Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.

For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz

Dog Registration Fees 2019 Napier

Bridget from Hospital Hill

Has anyone else had no response to emails sent to Napier City Council regarding dog registration? I have emailed them on three separate occasions to ask about the Responsible Dog owner option to significantly reduce the fees, but I have had not one reply to any of my emails. Is this a deliberate … View moreHas anyone else had no response to emails sent to Napier City Council regarding dog registration? I have emailed them on three separate occasions to ask about the Responsible Dog owner option to significantly reduce the fees, but I have had not one reply to any of my emails. Is this a deliberate ploy to achieve the higher fees? I am aware the cutoff for this was apparently 31 May but I didn’t receive my fees notice until 6 June. I would be interested if anyone else has had similar problems.

Poll: Do you ever eat food past its best before date?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

In the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.

In the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.

"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says Nash, "and then meat sometimes a good month past its date. It didn't smell bad. Rinse it off, good to go."

It was all part of his year-long experiment to test the limits on food that had passed its expiration date.

Water quality.. Tamatea

How many people are willing to cancel and refuse to pay their proportion of the rates to do with water. My charge is $200 per annum.

I am wanting to start the ball rolling and if we all do it, I am sure we will get action. I have finally had a gutsful. This morning my water is actually black, have done everything the council has asked of me. I have all my emails and paperwork over the past two and a half years, I have all the councils replies and pathetic responses, the excuses, you name it, I have it.

I am ready to go into battle with all and whoever I come across .

This is utter B&**SH@T from the Napier city council, and they have the gall to tell me my rates are rising this year by 6.4% this year, just after last year they rose from $1706 to $2050.

Join in and refuse to pay your water contribution on your rates bill everyone.

Almost a quarter of young people say the older generations should help first-home buyers into the property market, a new survey shows.

Westpac NZ polled 1000 people about their opinion on parents assisting their children into their first homes.

It found widespread acceptance of the idea: More than half the parents said they would loan money interest-free and only 38 per cent would expect it to be paid back.
