* Craig Foss, MP Tukituki, letter to the editor January 12 was fairly convincing in regards to food bill and I'd have to say Bruce Bisset hit back with a great left hook. Great stuff. KD Ulyatt.
* Why can't our kids bike to school, am and pm. Traffic congestion, fuel saving, carbon footprint, empty cycle lanes and obesity are all things to consider. MG
* I'm visiting from Australia and I'm amazed that the CBD still has its Xmas decorations up while in the shops there are Easter Eggs for sale.
* I hope the thieves who stole a skateboard from Sefton St are proud of themselves. My 11-year-old son is so upset. It was his Xmas present, one we can't afford to replace! Makes me so sad people do this to others. It's just not fair!
* Hawke's Bay Chamber of Commerce CEO Murray Douglas has obviously lost touch with middle class reality. The reality is that for middle income earners with children it certainly is not affordable to purchase property that is fit to raise children in. For such a beautiful place the income is well below par! I guess we just have to wait until we are on CEO wages to buy our first home!
* Has someone lost a black dog with a white tip on its tail in the Bay View area? It has been seen in the Le Quesne Rd/Franklin Rd area, wandering for the past two weeks, but will not come near you when called.
