Hi Wellington,

What do you think about your nurses rejecting the latest pay offer from District Health Boards? It's now been confirmed that 24 hours of strike action will begin at 7am Thursday.

A "majority" of the New Zealand Nurses' Organisation's (NZNO) more-than-30,000 members have chosen to take industrial action - a move described as "unprecedented".

What do you think about Thursday's strike? Were you surprised they rejected the last offer? Or do you think they deserve more? Let us know in the replies!

Hi Neighbours
Who do you recommend for a w.o.f.
Here are some issues we had with our current garage.

- we gave the car at 8.00 a.m. last week. At 3.00 p.m. when we called to ask if the car is ready, we were told that some repairs are needed. Why couldn't they call us? We were told shock absorbers are needed and to bring it back following week.


2) We took the car today at 9.30 - they promised the shock absorbers would be ordered once the car is delivered since they have to measure it and would arrive within an hour. (Why couldn't they do the measurement previous time? Again they promised the car would be ready around 1.00 p.m.


3) When I went at 1.00 p.m. they said, the parts were only ordered at 11.00 a.m and have just arrived.
