Hi friends, could any of you please help me with something for my PhD? I need to interview people who came to Australia from Bosnia as child refugees in the 1990s. Please share this post with anyone you think might be able to help and feel free to pass on my email address – sgreen2@student.unimelb.edu.au. Thanks so much!

Does anyone else get unwanted Ad Mail in their letterbox?

Ali from Stokes Valley

Hi guys,

Hi guys,

I've recently been on a bit of tirade because for months now I have been receiving weekly junk mail in my letterbox, despite having two signs requesting No Junk Mail and No Ad Mail Please. This week I finally decided to do something about it.

It occurred to me that if it was happening to me then maybe others in the area were getting unwanted ad-mail too? Receiving unwanted mail is always slightly frustrating, but particularly so when you're trying to decrease the demand for paper mail and 'do your bit' for the planet. (One resident in Christchurch collected junk mail for a year and found it stacked up to around 7kg and was nearly two meters high!)

If you're experiencing this problem and want to do something about it then you can contact the Mailbox Helpline on 0800 111 081. It helps them to know what kind of junk mail is being delivered, so they can trace it back to the relevant contractor.

If you don't have a No Junk Mail / Circular / Ad-Mail sign but would like one, you can get a free sticker for your mailbox by making a request through letterboxer.org.nz or, if you simply prefer to get your ad-mail electronically you can use, ecomailbox.co.nz

Hi neighbours

Does anyone know where I can get a seat belt from? I failed my WOF because the rear right seat belt is worn.
Only bought car just over a year ago, 2nd hand, and this is the first time I've needed a WOF.
VTNZ said a second hand but needs to be in good condition is fine to pass the warrant.
I'll need it installed as well so suggestions for that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks everyone

Wellington could be set to get a 12,000 strong indoor arena. Could Petone be a good spot for it? What do you think?
