Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

What flowers are blooming in your garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

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!

Prima Facie - returns to Circa Theatre

Marketing Manager from Circa Theatre

By Suzie Miller

Back after its sell-out season in 2023!

This vital, witty, gripping, multi-award-winning solo-show is touring New Zealand and is back at Circa Theatre for a limited time.

Tessa is a criminal defence lawyer at the top of her game and loving it: defending, cross-examining, and playing the rules of the law to win. But when the tables turn she finds herself at the mercy of the very system that she has dedicated her life to. Shadows of doubt are illuminated, making us question, who is our legal system serving?

This phenomenal production starring Mel Dodge and directed by Lyndee-Jane Rutherford continues an urgent conversation for Aotearoa New Zealand.
