Poultry problems

Fri, 3 Feb, 2012

A letter to Grocott’s from “Sleepless” asks if poultry may be kept in Grahamstown West. I had the same problem some years ago, in a leafy suburb. It was really stressful, this cock crowing at dawn and onwards.

When the owners were eventually persuaded to consider the neighbours, they took the bird elsewhere. Then a contingent of adults, i.e the parents and grown children came to tell me that their pet had died in the new situation. I just looked at them.

Is Grocott’s going to find out what steps Sleepless can lawfully take?

Gatvol with taxis!

Thu, 3 May, 2012

I am gatvol with taxis in town who think they can drive just the way they want to and not care about other drivers in town. The taxis drive in the wrong lane at the robots just to get out in front fast so that they don\'t have to wait anther 3min to drop off their passengers. They drive next to each other in one lane not caring for cars who want to park or reverse out of parkings or even simply just to turn a corner. Where are the traffics for the taxis? They just want to watch motorists. What about the state that most of the taxis are in? Can't the taxi industry hire responsible drivers? Wait and see what accidents are on the way if they don't get stopped soon.
