* Re Parkvale School: Learn the Road Code you people.

* Hey HDC what's with yellow no-parking lines in Ada St residential end? Where are we supposed to park!

* Good to see everything shut on Easter Friday & Sunday. So why was Napier Library open Easter Sunday? Poor workers how is that legal?

* Reverse ECE funding cuts.

* Gosh wouldn't it be nice if all working people had their pay rates set by the "Remuneration Authority" as all of the higher paid in this world do. We would have a very rapid redistribution of the available wealth and the 98 per cent who have been grossly underpaid for the last 200 years would not despise the upper class as much as they always have justifiably done. Everyone would be able to live comfortably instead of 98 per cent of us struggling - yeah right! . EJ

* How about we nuture and feed our babies/children with the best ever nutrition, e.g. organic natural foods, excellent hygiene, then we wouldn't need vaccinations.

* Upoko is the name of a Maori Block, the 166 acre narrow shingle spit that ran from Tarehas Bridge, Awatoto, south to the original mouth of the Waitangi Stream now Ngaruroro River granted to Te Waka Kawatini in November, 1866. M

* Yes money is the root of all evil but the Govt shouldn't have to prop households up. Real easy solution - go to work.

* I totally agree with what Talia Hohua (HB Today April 20) says but $11 for a bread and milk at supermarket? I don't think so. Milk approx $3.60 for 2litre, bread is not $7 a loaf. Poole St dairy in Flaxmere has 2x2litre milk for $6.90 and a loaf of bread for $1.50. Great dairy!

* Read between the lines. Napier will consider storing museum items anywhere as long as it's nowhere near Hastings. J Oak

*  Outstanding front page photo 27/4/11 Storm Fury. A very Kiwi spirit moment. Beautiful work Paul Taylor take a bow.
