Cockroaches needed in exchange for chocolate!

Sarah from Otumoetai

Hi all,

My son won his school science fair and is now getting ready for regionals. His topic is “Cockroaches are our friends” and he’s seeing if cockroaches change the pH level of soil.

He needs cockroaches! The Gisbourne ones, which are dark, flat and have white around the top. If you can catch them or if you have a beehive or a shed where he can catch them for you, please get in touch. He will give you a mini mars bar for each cockroach found and we can pick up from your letterbox. Thanks so much. I will update this post when we have enough but at the moment he still needs about 60.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
