Christmas
Well, that time is on us again, for those of us lucky enough (or organised enough) to be taking time off or going away, don't leave things till the last minute.
It's going to be crazy busy everywhere.
If you need anything done get in early.
Every year we get people with caravan and boat trailer WOFs arriving on the last day.
It's not fun when it fails, there is work to be done and we have to tell you we cannot do it until January.
We will close on Thursday December 21 and be back at work Monday January 8.
We wish you all a safe and happy festive season and look forward to seeing you again in the new year.
Cheers all
Gerard
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
