Wyndham, I thought the river would have washed it away years ago :)You used to live in Mataura?? Man its a small world. 5 minutes down the road from Gore lol. By chance did you work at the Mataura freezing works? |

| 432689 | 2006-02-21 10:18:00 | A mate and I once worked at Wallis' Fellmongery in Gore, living in the hostel over the road and being fed fried sweetbreads for breakfast, fresh from the Mataura FW. Now that should tell you how old I am... We later worked for Cunningham's Transport haycarting in the region, living in a caravan in the truck yard. Not much sleep, but cheap accommodation! Great food from the farmers as well. Lunch for 'morning tea' in the paddocks, dinner at midday, lunch again in the fields for 'afternoon tea', then free beers from the farmers followed by a huge dinner in the farmhouse. Southland people were such a breath of fresh air after the misery guts Cantabrians where I was brought up! Hospitable to a fault - I hope it is still like that pctek! Families took us under their wing, and took us to Bluff for oysters - things like that. A whole new language too. Do they still call half g's 'peters' down there? |

| 432690 | 2006-02-21 10:35:00 | Now there's a word to conjure with - though the glass was a bit heavy to do that in reality. I think today's light plastic stuff comes only in smaller sizes than halfG in Dunedin nowadays, but ask a student... (Prescott may have found out by now? Gibler would know) There are still real empty peters in my shed, though - legacy of the family home-brewer. |
