Found on the Haywards (Friday 2nd Nov) spare wheel cover off some type of 4x4 probably. Looks brand new. Message me if you think it's yours. Have also posted on Whitby's Facebook Community page but no one has come forward yet.

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 moreHi neighbours,

New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.
ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.
"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."
Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

I'm looking for a builder to give me a quote for building a new house on a flat section along the main road.
Please contact me at 021762087 if you are a builder or can recommend one. Thanks

A mum is concerned about her young boy and some others keep getting bitten by the same kid at childcare. She says she is now "fed up to the stage where we gonna pull out our kids" because of a lack of action from staff.

What could be a solution here? How could staff at the childcare place stop a very young kid from biting? Talk with its parents?
She says the place normally does an awesome job - she's just sick of the biting!

They had headphones on and were entertained. A woman in her 50s got on the train with a friend. She walked up to where the kids were sitting, sort of gave them a long look, then stood at the end of the carriage once it was obvious they were not worried. The woman, who was you know average weight etc before we get into that sort of thing, then complained to her friend about the kids and especially their mum for not shifting.
I am not sure if she is right or wrong here.
If the mum told the kids to move for the women, they might’ve got bored on the long trip - at least a half hour or more - and maybe got dirty sitting on the floor or annoyed people on the busy train right?
So what should happen?
The women did not appear physically disabled - just grumpy.
