Maybe we are getting somewhere.

Finally. Some unbiased (sic) press with a bit of impact.
Keep at it, guys. Let this be a beach-head.

The internally plumbed J.Baine says that the externally plumbed J.Baine is due the credit. You are forgiven your confusion.

Yep. Not normally known for being so 'nice' to us.

...

... The police directing and controlling at intersections did a fabulous job. ...

Since when did you ever use the word "fabulous?"

I reckon it was the other J Baine.

That is o for fantastic.

**Pedrostt500** · 19th November 2009, 18:46

Well Said J Baine, We need a version of that letter in every News Paper in the country.

**MSTRS:Me** · 22nd November 2009, 15:58

I've written 3 letters to the local paper, and had them published. One of them was more or less an article, with a photo. I've sent 2 txts to ed, and so has YT, and had them published. YT got one article printed about the issue prior to Tuesday's Bikeoi. I organised a protest ride to a local MP. YT organised for media and photographer presence on both 14/11 and 17/11 (they never turned up). I've got a date organised for a few of us to 'meet' with Phil Goff locally. I spent days collating info, and turning it into an address, which YT presented in Hastings. The same address was delivered by Mom in Auckland and was taken to cabinet by Craig Foss. YT organised a Parking Protest, to put the issues in front of the public. YT has spent maybe 2 hours on the phone to various press/media, and been on National radio.
2 other HB riders put a plan together for the ride to Welly.
Nobody else AT ALL has done anything in Hawkes Bay, except maybe turn up.
We're tired of doing all the work.
Where to, from now?
