Do You remember Wellington when...................
Adams Bruce Soda shop on Willis Street, Big slabs of homemade chocolate or great dollops of ice-cream.
Cuba Street before the funny buckets
The Caltex Lounge & The Sheridan
The Photo booth in Wellington Railway Station
When standing on the street corner didnt mean soliciting
Manners Street was a street & it was safe to 'do the shops' on Friday nights.
The Taj Mahal was a toilet
Six o'clock closing
Big ears was 'legally' a cute & permissable character
Rolling Jaffas at the Majestic Picture Theatre
Disposable nappies meant they had worn out.
The big coloured jars and urns at Castles Chemist in Newtown
Spiders at James Smiths Coffee Shop
When a Gollywog was a cute toy
Pineapple lumps at 4 for a penny
Choc bombs at the movies.
Womans Weekly was 3d.
3d meant threepence, not a dimension
A whole or a half chubby loaf of bread. 8d & 4d.
Bread delivered to your back door
One way streets were a foreign idea
What would you like to add?
