Letters to the Editor

Snail mail from Raro?

Saturday 23 February 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I was very surprised, while staying with an old friend in Auckland, to find letters I wrote and posted separately to him on January 10, 14, 16 and 21, all postmarked February 13 and arriving together on February 20! Does this mean Post Office waits until it has enough mail to warrant a shipment? Nothing will spoil my memories of a wonderful (fourth) trip to Raro, but next time I will not try so hard to write a postcard every day to my children in the US and UK.

'Go and plant it'

Wednesday 20 February 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Your smoke signaller really lives as though they are from the dark ages, wouldn’t you agree? What is unbelievable about transport fuel costs, sweat and labour to make a maire ei? What else is there? There is no other expense on the producer’s part -- that is the truth.

Locals given priority?
