Rants & Raves: Helpful groundsmen

A huge thanks to the groundsmen at Cornwall Park who came to my rescue after my car's battery went flat in the car park.

Like Benjimin in Thursday's Rant, we were also hit by low lifes at Labour weekend. Our Seahorse Kontiki was also picked up along with all 25 traces and some fish by a boat off East Beach. We can't afford a boat, now they have a boat and a kontiki. Not a good look for Northland.

A huge thanks to the groundsmen at Cornwall Park who came to my rescue after my car's battery went flat in the car park. They got the car started again within a few minutes. It was raining at the time and your help and your cheerful manner was much appreciated.

Utterly stunned by distracted drivers recently. Especially a young man driving with his knees while rolling a cigarette then picking up his phone to txt! Wait until you're home instead of risking the lives of others.

Thank you to the newspaper salesman at Britomart who saw me dropping my Metrocard. He pointed it out to me as I passed. Very much appreciated!

Been riding mountain bikes with my kids and dogs in the forest at the back of Muriwai beach for 20 years. Great place to go as flat and not technically challenging for kids and the unfit. Now there is sign after sign telling us to keep out. What possible harm are we doing to the forest trails? I'm in favour of justice for wrongdoings in the past and giving back what was taken unjustly but don't then change the rules and create reasons for people to be pissed off! It just fuels the fires of racial tension.

This is a huge shout-out to Tohu at the BNZ, Lincoln North, who has been instrumental in helping me with a couple of banking issues I've had in the past few months. Tohu is very knowledgeable of the systems and couldn't be more helpful. He deserves a huge pat on the back. Thanks so much.
