To the point

REGARDING the article about getting rid of frosted car windows (ODT, 26.5.21), I wouldn’t dream of scraping the windows. I get a container of warm water and throw it over the windows. The windows are fine immediately.

I AM appalled at the issues with inadequate sterilisation and cleaning of surgical equipment at Dunedin Hospital. The least the hospital should do is inform those patients who were potentially at risk, no matter how small the hospital may perceive this risk to be. Patients deserve transparency and openness.

ALL we seem to see in the news is bikes and what they are going to spend on cycleways. I can’t get over the ones that have not got hivis on. Surely this is health and safety.

IN our house, we close the lid before flushing the loo. Flushing generates massive aerosolisation — tiny particles that linger in the air. Instead of pondering too deeply on this, I’d rather just close the lid.

THANK you for printing the full New Zealand scoreboard of the test in England (ODT, 6.5.21) — more than the ‘‘newspaper of the year’’, The Press, could manage.

REGARDING the article in your paper suggesting New Zealand golf courses need upgrading (ODT, 9.10.21), I found the description of some of our courses to be lyrical and agreeable. Carved out by a farmer on a tractor generations ago, brilliant. New Zealand courses are an eclectic mix — promote them as such.
