Capture: Down With The #OGB, in reply to Kumara Republic,
Sasha/Sacha is a diminutive of Aleksandr in the Russian, which I grew up with. So I tend to assume a Sacha/Sasha is male. But in NZ that isn't always the case.

Hard News: The not-so-Evil Empire, in reply to Russell Brown,
I agree, in this particular case I don't see why the specific term in question was such a problem for him.
By the way, I suspect with the cooling off period he may have been thinking of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (phew). Statutorily mandated cooling-off period.

To be fair to Brian, he is saying he can't use updated apps, eg the NZHerald one that he could use previously. Streets that he used to use are now blocked to him?

I also see some of the problem. I agree that it's a raw deal if you have to keep accepting new T & Cs that may be unreasonable just so you can keep using the expensive device you bought. It's changing the nature of the bargain. However, if the original terms included one that said that you would have to accept any new terms from time to time or else your devices wouldn't work optimally then you couldn't really argue with that. Does anyone know if there is a term to that effect?

Hard News: Who'd have thought?, in reply to Jackie Clark,
Definitely, our one is Eden/Epsom and it's awesome! Makes the transition to NS-bound primary school all the more tricky though.

I just lack that level of cunning I guess.

Looking at the website to refresh my memory. I think I followed their advice to register it so that my balance is protected in case my card gets lost. So yes, that was a choice. But the way the information is worded it isn't made clear you can use it without registering first.

I love that!

Matthew, when I got my hybrid card I had to register to use it. They do know who I am.

Hard News: If wishing made it so ..., in reply to Stewart,
Yeah, but surely a transport system shouldn't be forcing people to slow down. It's a very well to say we should all be feeling groovy but lots of people have valid reasons to desire their bus trip to be as quick as possible. For example, I really need to be home at a certain time to relieve the nanny from her 10 hour day. Plus, the slower the trip the more likely I am to nod off and miss my stop.
