Hi neighbours, The tallest model made of Lego in the Southern Hemisphere is coming to Auckland.

It's part of a large new exhibition which also includes the largest ever Lego Caterpillar 797 dump truck, a 4.5m long Shinkansen train, and a more than 3m long Antonov 225 aeroplane.

Poll: Would you be more likely to attend a mass Covid vaccination event?

Melanie Earley Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Kia ora neighbours, a planned mass vaccination event at a south Auckland events centre where officials wanted to dose at least 15,000 people over three days has been knocked back several weeks.

Would you be more likely to get the vaccine at an event like this compared to booking an appointment with your GP?

Feel free to comment below on your answer.

Ola is a scam

Huco from Remuera

Ola Cab is a scam.
I ordered an Ola on Monday 1.30pm, which arrived within 10 minutes. The trip was from Remuera to Greenlane Clinic Centre, a distance of 4.7km. Ola has the offer of $5 if the distance is less than 5km.
I was charged on my credit card $15. In asking the driver who I could complain to, he responded that the company operates from India. Later that day I received an account email from OlaCab the trip was $11.37, Booking Fees $0.48, Ride Advantage Fee $0.52, a Total bill of $12.37.

Ola did not refund the difference between the $15 charged and the $12.37 bill emailed. My telephone call to Ola went nowhere.

My conclusion, it’s a scam. Be aware. Have you been disadvantaged?
