Love a snag sambo, so does Max, only reason I go to Bunnings. Didn’t know they still made Dinner Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss old fashioned corner shops, glass case full of lollies at 4 a penny, milkshakes in metal cups, maybe a pinie for a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bottle of Fat Yak yesterday and the old Celiac gut handled it. Edited August 27, 2019 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did refer to Dunedin which was originally a Scottish settlement of NZ, very big Scottish influence to this day according to my Grand Daughters boyfriend who hails from there.

Back before refrigeration milk couldn't be kept for more than a few hours, especially in summer. So if you wanted milk you had to go and get it from somewhere that kept it cold. In Australia that was the milk bar, in NZ the dairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Scots settled on the South Island and if I remember correctly Dunedin was originally settled by members of the Free Church of Scotland in the late 1840s. The name Dunedin was taken from the Gaelic for Edinburgh. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Dunedin when I was a child and that term was very common. My brother still says it and I find myself reverting back to that for a couple of days after we leave Dunedin. You never forget childhood words and phrases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time they were the only stores that were allowed to sell milk in NZ. Usually it was delivered to your house every day by the milkman so shop sales were limited to preserve the livelihoods of the milkmen.That phased out sometime in the 1980s, I think, and from then on milk was sold in supermarkets as well as dairies.

That was also in the days when milk came in glass bottles. .." and we had that old fashioned concept of recycling . That’s heavens for plastic that we just chuck away and not be bothered with.
