Jac Mac, not just country pubs, had one in Auckland on Fanshawe Street, corner of Hobson, - secret knock, pay twice the price for a crate of cold beer, no choice, just whatever the publican wanted to get rid of DB Green, or Tui, probably..Originally Posted by Jac Mac
Could not buy fuel or food/vegetables/alcohol etc on sundays [ well you could buy alcohol by sneaking around to the back door of the country pubs and using a 'special' knock on the door while keeping an eye out for the local bobby], only corner store stuff like cigarettes, sweets, newspapers. basicly anything you needed for sunday had to be bought by Friday before....... WE were a lot more organised back then and actually spoke to people.
