Letters to the Editor - Spring 2008


Spotted your web address down at the shops. good fun. I have long being telling

work mates that Higgins is the new Red Hill, now I can prove it!
Thanks, Castieau St.


I’m a fan of Hoi Poloi. That mysterious puma must be a concern for the locals, is it some how linked to the café delays?
Will Missy be at the café opening? Is the man hole a secret entrance to the café? So many questions!
Thank you Hoi Poloi, you make living away from Higgins almost bearable.

'this is a wonderful celebration of the Hoi Poloi in its real sense. Congratulations. And note that I also have made some grammatical errors so i can be as hip as you.

Dear Higgins info/website officer, I recently spent a couple of week at Higgins at thought it was a magnificent place! I felt such positive energy in the surrounds... it was just heavenly! I just wanted to comment on how fantastic your website is, I will be a regular visitor to the site now that Higgins is my #1 favourite place in Canberra.

A Green Scene
dearest lovely appreciators of Higgins, Since it is world environment day I'd just like to add a special pat on the back to Higgins which stands up very well as a green suburb. I have been living in Higgins for many years now and seen solar water and electrical facilities popping up all over the roofs. Apparently we have the most of any Canberran suburb! Not bad for the 'wild west' as my sister calls it. I have also heard there are some significant catches of Indian Mynah bird in Higgins- This is excellent as it brings the native birds back. Imagine the paradise of rosellas and galahs that would return if they could. Well done Green Higgins.

LUV frm Ainsli
I absltly LUV this website! U guys R way cool. Where is Higgins tho? Or hawker? Sorry is that rude J ???XXX Minty in Ainslie.

Ed. Why not visit Higgins one day Minty, the real thing is way cooler than this website.

A note from our neighbour
I don't know who you people think you are but this website is an absolute outrage and I have written to the Board of Slanderous websites to complain. Hawker is in no way a snobby neighbour thinking itself above its' lowly 'post-Kingsford-Smith drive neighbours'. We are quite happy to have you come to our video shop that specializes in french erotica or the trivia night with free cocktail sausages at the Soccer Club. Do you hear me complaining about your pathetic little empty shopping square with monuments to the 2 shoppers who came thru in 1971 or something. God, just because you “used' to be the end of the bus route. Really, what have you got going for you now??! (I can't believe I actually read that monument!-I must have been really bored!)
Exhasperated Arminel, Hawker.

Ed. Complain away Arminel! Maybe if you call her majesty and invite her over for a little tea party, she can decide if you are as good as you think you are. Henry Higgins would run rings around Harriet Hawker (or whoever it is).

What is this sh%@?
