I took a party of 10 for a meal here on 18.7.2017. One of our party has had a stomach bypass and, consequently, a small appetite. After a few spoonsful, she asked to take the remainder of her meal home. When she got home, she found she had a containerful of rice only.Always check your container before leaving the restaurant. I have been back and told staff, who offered me a replacement meal on the spot but that was no benefit to my guest, who came from Helensville especially for the meal.

Auckland Council won't ban jumping at popular water spots, despite fears that swimmers could end up dead or seriously injured.

A number of young men have become quadriplegics after jumping of wharves and suffering spinal injuries.

However previous attempts by the council to ban diving at danger spots have failed, and it now takes a different approach with educational signs pointing out the risks.

ACC saw 230 claims last year for injuries suffered at jumping or diving structures, ranging from cuts and bruises to surgery for shattered ankles and damaged spines, and spinal unit consultant Rick Acland believes it's "almost criminal" to support wharf jumping.

Have you ever been injured jumping from Orewa wharf or the cliffs at Re Beach or Little Manly?

And what do you reckon? Should it be banned?
