Bus drivers parking on Yellow lines Miramar Avenue
This morning on Miramar avenue, around 7.57am the driver of a Wellington bus - it was green yellow and blue - parked his bus, number 3160 on yellow lines in front of the New worlds petrol station, of course when we are coming out of the petrol station to turn right into traffic going to town – we can’t see the oncoming traffic. I beeped my horn and said ‘you should not be parked there it’s dangerous for us drivers we can’t see oncoming cars’ and he ignored and went back to reading his paper. Three cars nearly crashed into my car because I could not see any clear way because the driver was parked on yellow lines, blocking the view of the cars coming into Miramar Avenue heading East, and I had children in the car. Calvin OR whoever from the regional council looking after the buses - GREAT TRAINING! PLEASE ADVISE YOUR DRIVERS NOT PARK ON YELLOW LINES TO WAIT FOR THEIR NEXT TRIP - IT WILL CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT WHICH MAY RESULT TO A LOSS IN LIFE BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE
Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

What flowers are blooming in your garden?
Kia ora neighbours,
In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.
Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
