Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.

Epidemiologist Dr Michael Baker said the next six months would be a “very dangerous” time for the country with a high risk of an outbreak while waiting for the vaccine roll-out in April.
Do you think scanning should be mandatory at pubs, nightclubs, etc?

We think we've settled the argument here.

Akaroa's original name Whakaroa means “long harbour”. Ngāi Tahu kaumatua O’Regan said correct Māori pronunciation of the “wh” sound was very soft and often indistinguishable to the ears of early English settlers in New Zealand.
He would like to see the official spelling corrected for the place names, which required an application to Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB), a public submission process and approval by the minister for land information.
