Napier man drives lawnmower to town
Ray Jane can hardly complain about the service he received from local police. The elderly Napier man didn’t have a lot of transportation options after his car was stolen, so he took the lawnmower for a drive.
Local police officer Sophia Holloway came across Jane, 87, in early August after he was spotted driving his ride-on mower down the road. Jane told Stuff he was attempting to drive to the Napier Police Station to inform them about his stolen vehicle.
“Well I wasn’t going to walk there. So I took the mower as it was the only means of transport I had. I drove it on the road as it was much smoother compared to the footpath.”
After being spotted by Holloway he received assistance in reporting the theft to his insurance company. She also took him to the supermarket and referred him to Age Concern to get assistance with transport.

POTTING MIX QUALITY
If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.
