❚ Who owns the clock tower building on Broadway? It’s very grubby, embarrassing. Where’s your civic responsibility #palmypride

❚ What a crock! Here we are stuck with the Saddle Road for God knows how many years, and they’re set to spend megabucks on rumble bars and straightening corners.

❚ I would like to extend a big hearty thank-you to Jacinda and her coalition Government for reducing the price of fuel for the Christmas/ New Year holiday period. Thank you. GT

❚ I feel for the little children who are raised believing in Santa and the parents can’t afford Christmas presents for them. Always think it shouldn’t be classed as a ‘‘Christian’’ event.
