HUNTING HOUSES HUTT VALLEY

Michael from Trentham

Tv One's house hunting in the country series had its controversies. No more so than when prospective buyers went through a home that they actually owned and lived in and of course wanted to get out of. They treated the arrangement as though they had never seen their house and property before and thus as per one of the show's three houses presented to them for considering to buy.

Then in the final episode of the 2024 series, there were a family of six plus two dogs and a cat looking for a large home in Lower Hutt city.
Some country and to top it off it was billed as the Hutt Valley at least a dozen times yet the three houses shown to the family were all in Lower Hutt - a Western Hills suburb home, one in the heart of Naenae and the third a near historical house in urban Petone. The latter was too small for me, my wife and Corgi.

So no Upper Hutt but still billed as the Hutt Valley with its near 170,000 combined population. I suppose "Hutt Valley" has a countryside connotation.

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?
