Why can't we put the clocks forward an hour and leave them there? This changing every six months is becoming very tiresome considering how nearly every gadget one possesses is dependent on the correct time.

I appreciate those drivers, who, while driving on the main road, give way to cars turning into a main road from a side street.

As a senior citizen I have become exasperated by the use of the phrase "two times". These two words are both awkward sounding and unnecessary when the English language provides the one word, "twice", that conveys the same meaning more concisely and precisely.

Having to catch a bus I had never caught before, I inquired from a bus driver who proved to be unco-operative and did not know his streets. Luckily there was another bus behind it and the driver saw me wandering around, asked where I was going, got me on board and delivered me exactly where I was meant to go. The bus number was 1348, the driver a nice Maori gentleman.
