8mm film reels

Tracey from Kelburn

I have inherited quite a few old 8mm film reels that I have no use for. I have no idea what state they’re in - they belonged to my grandfather who passed away in the 19800s and as far as I’m aware they’ve been in storage since. They’re all commercial and include for example old royal … View moreI have inherited quite a few old 8mm film reels that I have no use for. I have no idea what state they’re in - they belonged to my grandfather who passed away in the 19800s and as far as I’m aware they’ve been in storage since. They’re all commercial and include for example old royal weddings and Churchill’s funeral amongst the range. I don’t really want anything for them but would rather not throw them away. If you would like them please message me.

Are you keen to try out Lime scooters in your city? Because Wellington is next on the list to receive them - potentially just in time for summer!

Hi neighbours,

Are you keen to try out Lime scooters in your city? Because Wellington is next on the list to receive them - potentially just in time for summer!

The scooters have already been launched in Auckland and Christchurch, and now Lime are in talks with Wellington City Council.

Some people are in support of the scooters, others have found a way to make extra pocket money from them, and even singer Taylor Swift was apparently spotted on one in Auckland recently. But the scooters have also caused controversy as one model has already been recalled.

So what are your thoughts on the scooters? Do think they'd be a great way to zip along the Wellington streets? Or are they an accident waiting to happen? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below!
