The Block NZ is back on our screens on Monday, but let's hope there are no more silly decor challenges and over-the-top reserves.

Employees of the Addington railway workshops pedal homeward on a cold July evening in
1946.

The workshops stood at what is now Tower Junction. They built, maintained and repaired railway stock and were a major employer in Christchurch.

The Christchurch terrain suited cycling and the city was known for its bikes. Few workers owned cars, so bikes and trams dominated city streets after the 5pm knock-off time.

The 40-hour week and eight-hour working day, introduced 10 years earlier but in general practice only from 1946, contributed to the 5 o'clock rush.

Does anyone know of a good cheap panel beater? Bumper damage from someone who didn't leave a note while I was swimming at Pioneer Pool last night.

Possible Stolen Dog

Denise from Addington

I have just been shopping at Countdown Moorhouse Ave. A man was begging for money. He didn't look in good shape, but he had the most beautiful dog with him.

It was trying to eat plastic and then… View moreI have just been shopping at Countdown Moorhouse Ave. A man was begging for money. He didn't look in good shape, but he had the most beautiful dog with him. Clearly very well looked after and well-fed. The dog had a good leather lead. The dog was ravenous. It was trying to eat plastic and then a rotten banana. I bought the dog some food, but when I went back to get more, the man disappeared. Unfortunately, I could not take a photo, neither do I know what breed the dog is. I can say that it was a male dog, medium size, unusual colouring - sort of brownish/blackish. If you have a dog that has gone missing and looks similar to the one I have described. I can fully describe the man who has it. Feel free to message me.
