*   Big ups to cops for P lab bust in Taradale. P is one of the quickest killers of our naive young who are so easily led. Great work guys.

*   Kids living in poverty are obese because cheap bread has no goodness in it and some takeaways are cheaper than healthy foods.

*   I get by well on a single pension. No poverty here in NZ just bad spenders. Mauri

*   To PP: Habitat 4 Humanity is a leg up for hard working families, not a handout for those who sit back and expect it. You still have to pay a mortgage or rent.

*   Thank you Greg Hinton. I thought I was the only one finding this visual pollution offensive. Council, act on this please.

*   To lady that was on Townshend St giveway sign: I was on other side of Townshend St stop sign, you might need to check road code again. Kia ora.

*   Thanks to person for handing my phone into Napier Briscoes. Didn't know I d lost it till they phoned. Penny

*   Does anyone do the speed limit anymore? I only ask because I always seem to get stuck behind drivers doing 90 or even 80km/h on the open road. I'm not a speeder ,just like to drive at the correct speed and not annoy other drivers. JHW

*   Anyone else having problems with internet continually disconnecting and real slow at times? Been going on for some time now.

*   Agreed with the person saying about the colour in food and drinks causing kids to be hyperactive. Changed my kids diet about a year ago with great results.
