| 1371894 | 2014-04-12 04:43:00 | I remember during the 50's I was working on a Tea estate and owned a Chevrolet 1948 Style-master in mint condition. I had a car port which was just big enough for the car. I remember coming back from the Club one night, parking the car, getting out and crawling to the house door, couldn't stand up - legless! Next morning I had a look and the car was unscratched, parked perfectly in the car port. There wasn't much traffic there. When I came to New Zealand I had a job in Hamilton. After work everyone headed for the Pub to drink as much as possible before 6 o'clock closing. Very scary, everyone was pissed on an empty stomach! |

When 10 o'clock closing came in it took us quite a bit of time for kiwis to get used to it. People continued to drink as before but could stay in the bar till ten. Result - drunks everywhere. Things have gradually become more civilised as we adapted. | Bobh (5192) | ||
