A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Re: Signs should be te reo first, December 9.

Dear Lara, I deeply resent you calling me a monolingual moron by implication in your latest offering. I passed School Certificate French in 1953.

My wish for you, for 2024, is to try to be a bit nicer and be less judgemental. Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged”.

I think the primary reason for letters to the editor is to express your opinion. Courtesy and respect cost nothing.
