I guessed some sort of outage so I emailed Radio NZ asking what was going on and got following unsatisfactory answer
“
There was a notification on the website. We have a page devoted to transmission
outages. Here is the link: www.rnz.co.nz... .
“It is policy to not give notice on-air of local outages beforehand, the reasoning being that we are a national network.”
I find that pretty unsatisfactory and arrogant. If one listens to AM Frequency all the time then you don't even know what freq fm is on. How does one know it’s a scheduled outage and not radio fault if not advised previously when listening ok before outage?
In times of disaster people turn to Radio NZ for information because it’s Government owned. Some radios don’t have FM. So I reckon its vital people be informed of scheduled outages.
Beware of emails about your Netflix account. Check carefully as there is a bogus one circulating. Of course if you don't subscribe to Netflix it will obviously be a scam. Don't click on the link in the email.

Hi everyone,
I have these porcelain décor jars in reasonable second hand condition. One of the leaves on the lid on both of the jars have been chipped or come off (as pictured).
The jars are strawberry themed and would be suitable as salt and pepper jars or as room decoration.

Hi everyone,
My little 10 year-old sister and I have some more freshly-picked, pesticide-free habaneros off our bush that we would like to sell to earn some pocket money.

My little 10 year-old sister and I have some more freshly-picked, pesticide-free habaneros off our bush that we would like to sell to earn some pocket money.
The $1 coin is for size reference, these habaneros are on average 4x to 5x bigger than normal chillis and are really hot so you only need to cut up a small portion into food. The rest can be frozen until needed.
$1 each or 6 for $5.
Please PM me or email me at haydenthemonkey@gmail.com for more info. Thanks
