Short & sweet
On prices
Cheap ain’t best when you add in coalfired power running the slave labour factories that made the goods.
Rob Buchanan, Kerikeri.
On service
May l unofficially respond to the letter from Stewart Lind ( NZ Herald, April 21) regarding his understandable frustration with the lack of meaningful response from his power provider: “We care for you and value your custom but love your money even more.”
John Norris, Whangamata¯.
On bridge
Wind warning issued for Auckland Harbour Bridge; rain, wind sets in across parts of North Island . . . how viable it is to have a cycleway across the bridge?
Andrew Montgomery, Remuera.
On knitting
How are the voters’ interests served when MP’s choose to knit while being paid a salary for serving in Parliament? I agree with the MP who objected.
Johann Nordberg, Paeroa.
On van Gogh
With the big exhibition from the works of Vincent van Gogh advertised on TV in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland, why is his name pronounced as “Van Go”? Is it just ignorance or laziness?
W A Houtman, Waiau Pa.
On health
Although the entities differ, it is hoped that lessons are learned from the Auckland Council experience and that the health system is truly reformed for the benefit of all Kiwis.
Warwick Maxwell, St Heliers.
