546586 2007-05-03 22:14:00 Now, if that was Tui...

Our beer doesn't crash on the road.

Yeah, right :D

Our whisky does though! A group of us were driving home to Wgtn through the Parapara Road (yeah, I know, but it made sense at the time), and we were brought to a halt by a truck lying on its side on a bend where the road was narrow and fringed by dense bush. The cargo of whisky cartons was strewn on the road and into the bush. As always happens at times like this, it was raining heavily and the cartons were sodden and falling apart. Even though it was after dark, somehow the transport company had got a chain gang up there and they were passing cartons and individual bottles out of the bush and loading them onto another truck. Three thoughts struck us:
1. how many bottles/cartons got secreted deeper into the bush for later private retrieval?
2. what a bunch of whimps we Kiwis are - if that had been Scotland, everything would have been 'tidied away' before the chain gang arrived - vis 'Whisky Galore' of beloved memory.
3. was the chain gang from the transport company or were they from the village down the road? (I think it is called Whanganui or something...).

Good story stu.

546591 2007-05-05 00:10:00 Right... according to Roadcode New Zealand:

1) Check if anyone is injured (yeah, a few crates)
2) Give help if situation permits (drink them all?)
3) Call 111.

Cheers :)
