School holidays start on Friday and there have already been sightings of cars with boats and surfboards flooding into Northland. What is the traffic like where you are? What do you think about holidaymakers coming north?

Here is the scorecard for WDC candidates, and the original answers (in Excel spreadsheet format) can be found here.
