Short & sweet
On RNZ
Okay Boomers. Your life-enhancing RNZ Concert FM will now be confiscated.
Jane Livingstone, Remuera.
On drivers
I spent nearly three years in Germany investigating traffic accidents involving British service personnel. At the end of my stint, I concluded that Germans were the worst drivers I had ever encountered. Later, I emigrated to NZ and changed my mind. Peter Rodriguez, Whanganui.
On cricket
We had no coach and a replacement captain, yet we beat the great Indian side twice. Am I missing something here?
Rex Head, Papatoetoe.
You can’t knock Trump for his competitive streak, maybe we should put him in the Black Caps.
Glenn Forsyth, Taupo.
On airport
The Auckland Airport CEO should resign for spending most of the budget on retail instead of maintaining the single runway in good order.
Simon Gilmore, Kohimarama.
On coronavirus
I’m wondering, all those local manufacturers who closed down their factories at the cost of thousands of New Zealanders’ jobs and shipped the work to China, how clever are they feeling right now? John Capener, Kawerau.
There is an even bigger epidemic alive and well in NZ and it is killing us by the thousands and we seem to accept it passively — obesity.
Jock Mac Vicar, Hauraki.
On Waitangi
Simon Wilson, you rock. Can we please clone you? Anne Brown, Tauranga.
Perhaps Brian Tamaki needs to be reminded that his ancestors were immigrants. Tony Sparkes, Albany.
