I have the utmost regard and thanks, not only to ED, but the overworked medical, surgical and nursing staff throughout. Pat yourselves on the back whangarei hospital.3 weeks ago my GP sent me to ED, by midnight I had been found a bed, and was operated on the following day.
Without exception, everyone was helpful, kind and efficient. So please be more patient with overworked hospital staff, they really could do with a little more praise, and thanks , for what they do, rather than what they don't.
So a Big thank you Whangarei hospital, from a very satisfied old bird 🤗

I've tried to renew my car's rego online yesterday evening. Could load the nzta website, but the page to renew registration would not load.
I dropped them a line about this ..."we are currently experiencing high volumes of email, we may get back to you in 9 days" ... yeah, right, that will be useful.
This morning their whole website appears to be down. So if you need to register your car, you may have to go to the testing station, assuming *they* can get in.
