September 23rd The Time Warp

Back in the day, ie approximately 30 years ago - actually cringe factor comes into play  here - possibly even 35 years ago, here in small town NZ (then) we had very few drinking establishments. If I remember rightly, after we finished a night clubbing, there were more places to go for an after pub feed, then actual pubs.  One of the stalwarts of mid 1970's Hamilton's late night feeds was The Beefeater Burger Bar. Guess what.. it is still in the same location and still has the same name. Although it has had a bit of a spruce up from a dull green colour to it's existing bright red. I have no idea what the burgers are like now, but back in the 70's... Beefeater Burgers Ruled!

In the reflection of the window, apart from moi, you can see an old building. That was the Bank of New Zealand - it is no longer a Bank but a Bar/Restaurant known as ''The Bank''

Here Endeth today's history lesson.
