People laden with $2 dollar shop stuff, farmers gift bags and bags upon bags from Push and Shove. Was like a bad moment on Crackerjack.

Who said Christmas shopping in NZ was a breeze?

Parking flippin nightmares, driving around in circles to find a space this evening. I was forced to deliver a rather unladylike message to the stupid tw@t who did a tricky manoevre to get into the one parking space that clearly had my name written all over it. :argue:!

I only went into two shops before deciding I wasn't that desperate.

I'm going to start a poll. Cabbage or Cauliflower. They were very large vegetables as I remeber. Were they real?

I find this really weird in an 'of no consequence' way.

I'd have been pretty darn sure that it was a cauli in the 60's but hey I was just a kid & can't find any images to support this, yet I watched this prog when allowed and my memory is of caulis.

The clip above was a very modern one :D

It was black and white when I watched it. Did Eamon Andrews do it early on?
