Between the Lines

SIGNS

The signs on the big hospital used for COVID information still stand but most of them have been eroded by the elements. Could this be a way for the hospital to make some money?

CLOTHING

The second-hand clothes shops are experiencing an influx in people flocking to buy winter clothes. Used or not, as long as they keep people warm.

STREET LIGHTS

Why is it that in some streets, several street lights in a row are not working? The darkness is not helpful to pedestrians and is a safety risk.

STEEL DRUMS

Some people have eardrums of steel. They do not seem to sustain any damage even when their speakers are loud enough to cause vibrations in homes when the cars pass by the neighbourhood.

CHANGES

Will postal ballots be used in the 2026 elections? There are amendments to the election laws that will be put before the cabinet soon.
