    There is usually a post box in a shopping centre. My mail is usually just bills, so I post it when I shop.
    I wouldn't use a street box, preferring one where mail is regularly
    collected every day.
    Our nearest street box is too far for an older person to walk, and not
    worth getting the car out for, anyway.
    For anything important, of course I use email. And I prefer a carrier for parcel delivery.

    I was a postie fifty years ago. I liked the job, but it has changed so much now. I worry about them losing their jobs if changes are made.

    Labour's problem seems to be that after an election some years ago, when
    they brought in many measures that were not
    mentioned in their election pamphlets, nobody who remembers will ever trust them again.
    They will have to try to attract the young ones coming along.
    How? They can't promise anything they are not able to convince the public
    that they will really do.

    Did the MSM report this?
    No

    Nope. He's the only electorate member for Winston First.
    He now represents parts of Northland..

    Wasn't there some by election?

    The next election should be due soon. Political stuff is starting to
    appear in the mailbox.

    Well first we have the flag referendum and elections are still a little
    way off.
    Haven't seen anything in the mailbox but had a couple of emails from
    various losers

    I got something in the mailbox from Labour. Haven't got the flag voting
    paper yet.
    It would have saved trouble if the flag referendum was held with the next election, like the old liquor poll.
    It could have got more people out to vote.
    As red herrings go, it's not a bad one. Takes peoples' minds off the real issues.

    Celebrating our diversity!

    Without the greens Labour is terminal.
    Labour with NZF its terminal.
    Lets face it labour is stuffed.
    Well we know that Winston Peters is so close to National, and NAtional
    gets onso well with "support parties", don;t we:

    There is usually a post box in a shopping centre. My mail is usually
    just bills, so I post it when I shop.
    I wouldn't use a street box, preferring one where mail is regularly
    collected every day.
    Our nearest street box is too far for an older person to walk, and not
    worth getting the car out for, anyway.
    For anything important, of course I use email. And I prefer a carrier for
    parcel delivery.

    I was a postie fifty years ago. I liked the job, but it has changed so
    much now. I worry about them losing their jobs if changes are made.

    Labour's problem seems to be that after an election some years ago, when
    they brought in many measures that were not
    mentioned in their election pamphlets, nobody who remembers will ever
    trust them again.
    They will have to try to attract the young ones coming along.
    How? They can't promise anything they are not able to convince the public
    that they will really do.

    Winston needs to get out more Geo and stop hiding from his electorate
    voters
    :)

    I thought he was just a one man party around Tauranga.

    National gave him Northland by fielding an untested candidate Geo.
