WEBVTT - Where would you keep it (10 June 2025) 0:00:07.173 --> 0:00:11.173 You're listening to the Marcus Lush Night's podcast from News Talks. 0:00:11.173 --> 0:00:11.493 I'd be. 0:00:13.773 --> 0:00:16.133 Greetings, welcome, and good even my name is Marcus, and 0:00:16.213 --> 0:00:17.493 nice to be here. Actually, it's been a bit of 0:00:17.493 --> 0:00:20.293 a break too, so it's a breakfall sort of thing. 0:00:20.373 --> 0:00:23.133 So all sorts of reasons and all kind of combined 0:00:23.173 --> 0:00:24.973 to make it a much longer break than I thought 0:00:24.973 --> 0:00:27.813 it would be. So this has been a disruptive couple 0:00:27.813 --> 0:00:32.373 of weeks. So hopefully I am back and back for 0:00:32.493 --> 0:00:34.533 good for a while now. So I haven't liked the 0:00:35.173 --> 0:00:37.653 and it's involved a sleepit of illness, and then there's 0:00:37.653 --> 0:00:40.493 an awards night, and of course last night I took 0:00:40.533 --> 0:00:44.733 the night off because the elder boy was in show Quest. 0:00:46.373 --> 0:00:48.053 Now I've never been to a show quest before, but 0:00:49.373 --> 0:00:51.013 I was gonna leave it half time. Yeah, I quite 0:00:51.053 --> 0:00:52.493 enjoyed it. I don't know what that well, how would 0:00:52.493 --> 0:00:54.813 you describe that? They sort of perform in front of 0:00:55.173 --> 0:01:01.333 projections and yeah, I hate to say it. I might 0:01:01.413 --> 0:01:03.053 be that stage of my life where I look back 0:01:03.093 --> 0:01:05.533 at some of those things. I think, gee, may maybe 0:01:05.573 --> 0:01:08.493 the kids are with us too, because there was some 0:01:12.133 --> 0:01:13.813 sort of takes you back to what the people at 0:01:13.893 --> 0:01:15.653 school are kind of what's well. I don't know how 0:01:15.693 --> 0:01:17.813 much it's guided, but what they are passionate about. But 0:01:18.573 --> 0:01:26.613 there was some fairly powerful stuff, some well thought out, powerful, 0:01:29.013 --> 0:01:35.653 well put together performances. AH sort of thing I probably 0:01:35.653 --> 0:01:38.173 in the past would have been rather cynical about. But 0:01:38.893 --> 0:01:41.893 it was very good, So as going to take the 0:01:41.933 --> 0:01:44.693 younger boy home earlier but waited for admission watching the 0:01:44.693 --> 0:01:48.093 whole thing about hapasitien. So there we go. If that's 0:01:48.133 --> 0:01:51.053 the future, the future is very very good, indeed quite 0:01:51.093 --> 0:01:54.773 progressive thought and quite deep thought to there we go 0:01:54.853 --> 0:01:58.693 show quest very good. I don't know who funds the 0:01:58.693 --> 0:02:00.933 whole thing. It seems to take along quite well z 0:02:01.173 --> 0:02:07.293 information of course, well and lot of parents, lot of 0:02:07.333 --> 0:02:11.133 grandparents in the audience, but they're quite the night out. 0:02:11.733 --> 0:02:14.053 I think there were nine ten minutes performances from tennut 0:02:14.093 --> 0:02:16.733 different schools, although my major concern was the actual because 0:02:16.733 --> 0:02:21.813 there were schools from Mount A Sparring College and Tappanui 0:02:21.853 --> 0:02:26.013 and Dunston School well, of course Dunstan School from Alexander. 0:02:26.093 --> 0:02:29.733 They did a they did a dance performance about the 0:02:29.853 --> 0:02:34.613 grief of the gold mine has lost during the eighteen 0:02:34.733 --> 0:02:40.973 sixty flood. Of course they did. Yeah, well that was good, 0:02:41.653 --> 0:02:44.613 really good, dressed up, old fashioned and good all that, 0:02:44.813 --> 0:02:48.653 and mine is losing their claim and losing their family. 0:02:48.773 --> 0:02:55.053 Very moving, all very good. Blue Mountain College from Tappanui, Otargo. 0:02:55.253 --> 0:02:58.533 A lot of stuff about consumerism, a lot of stuff 0:02:58.573 --> 0:03:02.493 about cell phone addiction, a lot of stuff about female leadership. 0:03:02.733 --> 0:03:04.813 Very powerful anyway, So well done to all those people 0:03:04.853 --> 0:03:06.893 were in gold. He's my major concern when I walked 0:03:06.933 --> 0:03:11.213 out of there half past ten was how freezing it was. 0:03:13.093 --> 0:03:14.613 A lot of those porkids were there, beginning on the 0:03:14.613 --> 0:03:20.173 buses and driving for hours through frost and terrible conditions 0:03:20.173 --> 0:03:22.213 to get home. So I presume everyone got home safe. 0:03:22.253 --> 0:03:23.813 I didn't see the thing of the papers this morning. 0:03:24.413 --> 0:03:26.333 That was my major consumed because the weather down here 0:03:26.373 --> 0:03:34.893 has been extremely cold. It's been freezing those freezing days 0:03:35.133 --> 0:03:41.573 and or freezing nights and sunny days. But on Rockier 0:03:41.653 --> 0:03:45.733 Stuart Island there is a lot of snow, in fact, 0:03:45.773 --> 0:03:47.613 more than I've seen for a long time, so that's 0:03:47.693 --> 0:03:51.173 really got covered. So that's normally a harbinger of a 0:03:51.213 --> 0:03:54.613 fairly dramatic winter. So now there is that, and that's 0:03:54.653 --> 0:03:58.853 what happened. But yes, show quest, I said to my boy, 0:03:58.893 --> 0:04:03.093 locked me in for next year. Very good indeed, anyway, 0:04:03.133 --> 0:04:04.693 that's my ray for that, So thanks for all those 0:04:04.733 --> 0:04:09.413 people were involved. By the way too, there is traffic congestion. 0:04:12.613 --> 0:04:15.373 There's much reportage of this this morning at this evening, 0:04:16.933 --> 0:04:19.733 so if you're trying to get home, mainly in Auckland, 0:04:20.813 --> 0:04:27.453 there is significant congestion on Auckland roads. 0:04:27.453 --> 0:04:37.013 Several crashes on the Southwestern and Wesley So take all 0:04:37.013 --> 0:04:40.653 turn it roads and watch this speed and drive to 0:04:40.693 --> 0:04:45.293 the condition. So it's veryvery wet in Auckland. There's thunderstorms 0:04:45.293 --> 0:04:49.213 for the White Ketto and extremely frosty in South oh 0:04:49.253 --> 0:04:51.333 by the way too. Just while we are on the frost, 0:04:54.573 --> 0:04:56.173 I think it's gonna be another very cold night. Do 0:04:56.253 --> 0:04:59.533 you think it's worth a hassle. It's been a while 0:04:59.573 --> 0:05:01.773 since we've done this show. But if it is frosty, 0:05:02.813 --> 0:05:04.413 because I'm not the sort of person thinks it's going 0:05:04.453 --> 0:05:05.733 to be frosty in the morning, I'm going to do 0:05:05.773 --> 0:05:09.093 sort mccara out and put kind of I don't know 0:05:09.133 --> 0:05:10.973 what people use these days they write. Do they put 0:05:11.013 --> 0:05:12.853 down frost cloths? What do you do to stop your 0:05:12.893 --> 0:05:18.613 windscreen icing over? I feel it changes every year with 0:05:18.653 --> 0:05:22.133 the critical advice. There's probably something you can buy from 0:05:22.173 --> 0:05:24.053 super cheap audo. But what you go to when it 0:05:24.133 --> 0:05:26.413 is freezing? Do you check something? I'm not worth the hssle. 0:05:26.693 --> 0:05:28.413 I had to get up yesterday morning and drive to 0:05:29.413 --> 0:05:31.173 the board to score. It took a long long time 0:05:31.173 --> 0:05:34.253 to the frosted poe took fifteen minutes. I couldn't be 0:05:34.253 --> 0:05:36.253 by the getting out of the car. I wasn't expecting it. 0:05:38.133 --> 0:05:39.813 You had to give the kid the safety lesson about 0:05:39.853 --> 0:05:42.013 how you actually don't just make a small hole with 0:05:42.053 --> 0:05:45.053 your hand because you won't get the peripheral vision. You'll 0:05:45.093 --> 0:05:47.573 hit some and you'll rear end someone. So it really 0:05:47.613 --> 0:05:49.573 is worth doing well. But yeah, I probably should have 0:05:49.613 --> 0:05:51.653 got it sort out the night before. I don't know 0:05:51.693 --> 0:05:53.573 if anyone's got any advice about that what you should 0:05:53.613 --> 0:05:56.493 or could do, But wouldn't buying some sure far advice 0:05:56.533 --> 0:05:59.813 about that windscreen advice for the winter nights, because I 0:05:59.813 --> 0:06:01.973 think I'm looking tonight like it's going to be fairly 0:06:02.013 --> 0:06:04.493 cold overnight also too, So yeah, if you've got something 0:06:04.533 --> 0:06:06.373 to say about that would be good to hear from you. 0:06:06.413 --> 0:06:07.813 If there's something else you want to chuck into the 0:06:07.813 --> 0:06:12.933 mix jumping. Let's hope my voice holds. He is down 0:06:12.973 --> 0:06:15.093 to two degrees overnight, so it's very free cold. I 0:06:15.093 --> 0:06:17.693 think they're down to minus one so and that's pretty 0:06:17.733 --> 0:06:20.573 much for it all week that for the next ten days, 0:06:20.613 --> 0:06:22.093 we'll call it that one. So if you do want 0:06:22.133 --> 0:06:24.213 to come through eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and 0:06:24.333 --> 0:06:26.613 nine nine two decks, I will keep you updated with 0:06:26.613 --> 0:06:28.693 the news around the world that happened today. Also too, 0:06:29.133 --> 0:06:30.853 I'm not sure what's happening, but there appears to be 0:06:30.893 --> 0:06:34.693 a fearbit going on. So I'll do all I can 0:06:34.733 --> 0:06:38.373 to get you up to date with all the news. 0:06:38.533 --> 0:06:42.973 But yeah, just about that, frost goes, newspapers on the inside, 0:06:42.973 --> 0:06:45.333 newspapers on the outside, frost cloth and oakre you know 0:06:45.413 --> 0:06:48.613 what they are. I know some say with the hot jugs, 0:06:48.613 --> 0:06:50.333 you shouldn't be using that. But maybe you can use 0:06:50.333 --> 0:06:53.453 the hot jugs now because the new windscreens don't shatter 0:06:53.493 --> 0:06:56.413 because they're laminated. Would that be right? I mean, from 0:06:56.493 --> 0:07:01.933 year to year, I really have no clue, but you 0:07:02.013 --> 0:07:05.453 will have some advice about de icing gold. Tell what 0:07:05.493 --> 0:07:07.053 the buttons on the car aren't for good? 0:07:07.133 --> 0:07:07.253 All? 0:07:07.253 --> 0:07:11.533 They take for they take forever anyway, Get in touch. 0:07:11.573 --> 0:07:13.453 My name is Marcus. Welcome. Oh eight hundred and eighty 0:07:13.533 --> 0:07:15.773 to eighty nine two nine two detext. If you've got 0:07:15.773 --> 0:07:17.853 something else you want to say, get through jumping about 0:07:18.933 --> 0:07:21.933 feel free. Oh eight hundred and eighty Toddy. By the way, 0:07:21.973 --> 0:07:24.373 I see in Totong and there is new trouble with 0:07:24.413 --> 0:07:32.533 the roundabout at tod Eco. They've put traffic dividers that 0:07:32.613 --> 0:07:37.533 are causing chaos. I'm not quite sure why they've put 0:07:37.533 --> 0:07:42.533 them there. It seems to be an afterthought. So they've 0:07:42.533 --> 0:07:45.773 put traffic dividers stopping motorists from changing lanes on the 0:07:45.853 --> 0:07:50.213 roundabout and taking some exits down from two lanes to one. 0:07:52.653 --> 0:07:55.453 So that seems to be a bit of misplanning. I 0:07:55.493 --> 0:07:57.253 don't know if there's been any crashes, but that's not 0:07:57.293 --> 0:08:00.453 good at all. So as far as as far as 0:08:00.733 --> 0:08:03.493 windscreams will also chuck in. This new roundabout also something 0:08:03.493 --> 0:08:05.333 you might want to talk about, So get in touch. 0:08:05.373 --> 0:08:06.213 You want to be a part of the show for 0:08:06.373 --> 0:08:08.813 Team Past eight. As I say, Oh eight hundred and 0:08:08.853 --> 0:08:10.973 eighty to nine two nine to two detect. If you 0:08:11.013 --> 0:08:15.253 don't want to start the ball rolling tonight, and always 0:08:15.253 --> 0:08:16.573 tricky when you've been away for a whiles. I'm not 0:08:16.613 --> 0:08:19.413 qature what other topics people have covered. Hopefully we won't 0:08:20.053 --> 0:08:22.533 double up on stuff. Although I didn't get an email 0:08:22.573 --> 0:08:24.853 from the museum saying about something I'd said, was that 0:08:24.933 --> 0:08:31.973 it wasn't me. I've been away, so email someone else anyway. 0:08:32.413 --> 0:08:34.253 Keep those texts coming through too, if you do want 0:08:34.293 --> 0:08:38.573 to text. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine 0:08:38.653 --> 0:08:40.333 to nine two de texts if you do want to 0:08:40.333 --> 0:08:44.853 come through. But anything goes yes, full broad Church tonight, 0:08:46.053 --> 0:08:47.613 as long as you get involved. I've got time to say. 0:08:47.613 --> 0:08:50.053 I'd be lovely to hear from you. But yeah, that 0:08:50.093 --> 0:08:52.413 frost stuff, I'm pretty big on this time of the year. 0:08:53.733 --> 0:08:55.173 I think it's twenty every year. I think we've done 0:08:55.173 --> 0:08:57.293 that show about five years ago, but never really solved 0:08:57.293 --> 0:09:01.533 at how to defrost efficiently. I'm never quite sure if've 0:09:01.533 --> 0:09:03.573 got the newspapers on the inside of the windscreen or 0:09:03.573 --> 0:09:07.293 the outside. But where would you get newspapers anymore? Most 0:09:07.293 --> 0:09:10.573 of us don't have them, do we. It's a good point. 0:09:11.453 --> 0:09:13.373 All those things in your newsprint for lake dry on 0:09:13.413 --> 0:09:16.853 the inside of shoes, well that's all gone and starting fires. 0:09:17.053 --> 0:09:20.853 No one's got newsprint. Can't we get much of that 0:09:22.053 --> 0:09:24.333 junk mail anymore? All the junk mail seems have gone online. 0:09:24.333 --> 0:09:27.253 I miss it, miss it terribly. Oh by the way too, 0:09:28.893 --> 0:09:30.173 And I feel I haven't really been on air. I 0:09:30.213 --> 0:09:31.693 feel it's always the beginning of the end. Was the 0:09:31.733 --> 0:09:37.133 great butter give away, the Great emergency alert sweepsteak. The 0:09:37.173 --> 0:09:41.933 winner of that was Kathleen and her guess was what 0:09:42.093 --> 0:09:49.133 Dan was at? Six sixteen six fourteen, And Dan and 0:09:49.173 --> 0:09:52.573 company have been to Costco and they've got her her 0:09:52.693 --> 0:09:57.693 ten kilograms of butter, which she's really happy about. Was 0:09:57.733 --> 0:10:01.173 it salted or unsulted? That was salted? God, so I 0:10:01.173 --> 0:10:03.693 wanted her to get salted. I'm not quite sure about unsoulted. 0:10:03.733 --> 0:10:09.253 But what's that about, Peter, Marcus Welcome?

They keep your calls coming through. Eight hundred 0:12:44.733 --> 0:12:47.373 and eighty today tis to the tricks to the frosting 0:12:47.453 --> 0:12:50.813 the windscreen or preventing it from getting frosted up. That's 0:12:50.853 --> 0:12:55.653 the main topic. For tonight or the main thrust. Minor 0:12:55.693 --> 0:13:01.253 flooding occurring ross Common Roading, Clendon Hearing, Mangley apps been 0:13:01.373 --> 0:13:05.973 hit hard. No text from National Arms Service yet from 0:13:06.013 --> 0:13:13.693 vill So Minor flooding ross Common Road, Cleandon, Mango the 0:13:13.733 --> 0:13:20.653 apps been hit hard. That means appliances or apps but anyway, Marcus. 0:13:20.653 --> 0:13:23.333 There used to be a tall coach driver throughout the country, 0:13:23.453 --> 0:13:26.373 must be tour and often wh When Queenstown was either 0:13:26.413 --> 0:13:29.333 sowing extremely cold, the winners of the bus would freeze up. 0:13:29.373 --> 0:13:31.893 I remember making the snake one afternoon. The mistake went 0:13:31.933 --> 0:13:34.333 after it of washing the bus and then packing it 0:13:34.413 --> 0:13:35.933 up with the heavy frost. It meant that I couldn't 0:13:35.933 --> 0:13:38.493 have any of the doors that had frozen shut, as 0:13:38.533 --> 0:13:40.773 the water from my washing had frozen the rubber seals. 0:13:41.493 --> 0:13:42.933 One thing we used to do to the frost the 0:13:42.933 --> 0:13:45.333 bus winners was to squirt them with warm water with 0:13:45.333 --> 0:13:47.093 a little bit of sunlight saber. We never use top 0:13:47.133 --> 0:13:49.373 water because it would shatter the mess of windows. I'd 0:13:49.453 --> 0:13:51.093 traded to do it once down in Queenstwn. It meant the 0:13:51.093 --> 0:13:55.573 bus couldn't be driven. Aha, Jason Marcus welcome. 0:13:56.453 --> 0:13:57.093 I was good evening. 0:13:57.213 --> 0:13:58.653 Marcus how are you good, Jason? 0:13:58.733 --> 0:13:59.053 Thank you. 0:14:01.053 --> 0:14:07.293 The old defrosts in business in my own town in 0:14:07.413 --> 0:14:10.413 February used to get down regular, so that mine's twelve 0:14:10.453 --> 0:14:14.693 miles fourteen. And what we used to do was we 0:14:15.093 --> 0:14:17.773 take our kind of d ice into the house with 0:14:17.893 --> 0:14:21.333 us at night, and then in the morning we'd go 0:14:21.413 --> 0:14:24.173 out and you'd have to spray around all the rubber 0:14:24.213 --> 0:14:26.733 seals so that you could actually open the door because 0:14:26.773 --> 0:14:30.213 it throws in position. And then you turn. Then you 0:14:30.293 --> 0:14:34.253 turn the engine on, leave the heater on cold, and 0:14:34.733 --> 0:14:38.093 go and have a cup of tea. And then when 0:14:38.133 --> 0:14:40.693 you finish your cup of tea you go back out. Magically, 0:14:40.733 --> 0:14:44.013 there's no frost on your car engines warm. You can 0:14:44.053 --> 0:14:47.853 flick the heater to hot. Don't risk damaging your windows 0:14:47.893 --> 0:14:51.933 so shattering them with the changing temperature. And you're in. 0:14:52.773 --> 0:14:54.853 And I presume that was summer in the UK, was 0:14:54.893 --> 0:14:55.373 a Jason. 0:14:56.013 --> 0:14:58.813 It was in the North Prayers where it's grim. 0:14:59.213 --> 0:15:02.333 I'd never heard that. I'd never heard the doors would 0:15:02.333 --> 0:15:02.893 free shut. 0:15:03.733 --> 0:15:07.173 Oh hey, I used to work in a spot where 0:15:07.573 --> 0:15:12.733 they were free ship by foster in the afternoon. There really, yeah, man, 0:15:13.173 --> 0:15:15.853 here we still it doesn't get gold in New Zealand. Dude, 0:15:15.973 --> 0:15:18.253 I'm still walking around in shots and bare feet. 0:15:19.093 --> 0:15:20.013 What was the de ice? 0:15:20.253 --> 0:15:20.373 Was that? 0:15:20.493 --> 0:15:21.493 Some form of alcohol? 0:15:21.613 --> 0:15:21.773 Was it? 0:15:22.333 --> 0:15:22.533 Yeah? 0:15:22.653 --> 0:15:24.653 So you're buy it in a can. It's like a 0:15:24.693 --> 0:15:27.333 spray cout, like a Dehordrean can, and you spray it 0:15:27.333 --> 0:15:30.973 on your window and it's an alcohol based and just 0:15:31.093 --> 0:15:33.173 heats the frost. It just makes it melt. 0:15:33.653 --> 0:15:35.653 Probably would work as the other one too, wouldn't it. 0:15:36.693 --> 0:15:37.173 I don't know. 0:15:39.773 --> 0:15:43.093 Probably, Marcus, I just did not use an old blanket 0:15:43.093 --> 0:15:45.933 over the windscreen overnight. Who's got an old blanket though? 0:15:46.973 --> 0:15:48.773 Be fairy organized have an old blanket just for the 0:15:48.773 --> 0:15:55.093 windows evening.

We're get a few frosts up here. 0:15:59.893 --> 0:16:02.213 We have a think called ice scrapers. I work for 0:16:02.253 --> 0:16:05.493 a par rental industry, so I am amusing it every morning, 0:16:06.133 --> 0:16:09.293 just in the car on, put the heater on, and 0:16:09.333 --> 0:16:12.333 then and you set the scraper. They have them at 0:16:12.333 --> 0:16:15.293 the library here obviously, our rental firms. I'm sure car 0:16:15.373 --> 0:16:17.853 firons will have them. My niece just came down from 0:16:17.933 --> 0:16:20.893 Auckland and she really loved it. I gave her two 0:16:20.893 --> 0:16:23.813 on Sunday because she and she texted me so those 0:16:23.853 --> 0:16:24.973 scrapers worked. 0:16:25.293 --> 0:16:27.853 Although you are out and although you are out in 0:16:27.893 --> 0:16:29.693 the cold scraping though, aren't you. 0:16:30.813 --> 0:16:35.493 Well it only takes her about a minute the engine on, 0:16:36.493 --> 0:16:40.053 turned the engine on. I mean, I'm actually moving cars 0:16:40.093 --> 0:16:43.533 from the washpad to the airport at seven o'clock in 0:16:43.573 --> 0:16:46.773 the morning out at Franklin Queenstown and the isis thick 0:16:46.813 --> 0:16:50.293 as now. It's just interesting to listen to that englishman 0:16:50.373 --> 0:16:52.053 said he doesn't get cold. Well, I was up Blake 0:16:52.133 --> 0:16:54.773 Techapo the other day. It does get cold here. 0:16:54.853 --> 0:16:55.773 So is he in. 0:16:55.853 --> 0:17:02.253 Orpland it hard to tell, but he sounded something. 0:17:02.253 --> 0:17:05.213 You you take him down to bluff and see what 0:17:05.253 --> 0:17:06.933 that's like, Marcus, But you wouldn't. 0:17:06.973 --> 0:17:09.573 Yeah, Paul, do you get the situation where the doors 0:17:09.613 --> 0:17:10.813 will free shut with the. 0:17:10.813 --> 0:17:14.413 Rubber Oh yeah, oh yeah, but yeah they can be tight, 0:17:14.493 --> 0:17:17.573 but with the keys, you just you know, they yeah, 0:17:17.693 --> 0:17:20.413 are actually tight. But I mean I used to live 0:17:20.413 --> 0:17:23.613 in Dunedin and I used to use warm water and 0:17:23.653 --> 0:17:26.373 never had a problem. In fact, I worked I worked 0:17:26.413 --> 0:17:29.813 somewhere late at night time at a casino, but I 0:17:29.893 --> 0:17:33.533 used to park against buildings because it was but the 0:17:33.573 --> 0:17:36.373 post office because the frost willn't come down. I'd be 0:17:36.413 --> 0:17:39.053 leaving my shift about three am in the morning, and 0:17:39.093 --> 0:17:41.013 what I used to do was if you park against 0:17:41.013 --> 0:17:43.653 the tall building, you won't get frost on your car, 0:17:44.413 --> 0:17:45.933 but obviously you do up here. 0:17:45.973 --> 0:17:46.893 So this is it? 0:17:46.933 --> 0:17:49.733 Because is it because the buildings are a heat soak. 0:17:50.493 --> 0:17:53.373 Yeah yeah, they just soaking, man. Whereas if you pat 0:17:53.413 --> 0:17:56.973 yourself up, you know, in a more open area, obviously 0:17:57.653 --> 0:18:00.733 come down. So if you've got a few full buildings there, 0:18:00.773 --> 0:18:02.773 you need a partner. The tall buildings. There's always a 0:18:02.773 --> 0:18:05.773 way around anything. But I've used I've used water in 0:18:05.813 --> 0:18:09.493 the past ahead of crack and we we have occasionally 0:18:09.533 --> 0:18:11.453 just put the water blaster on it or for in 0:18:11.453 --> 0:18:15.493 a hurry. But so the water works, but ice scrapers, 0:18:15.533 --> 0:18:18.133 I'm sure, I'm sure, Car, I'm really tailoring. 0:18:18.173 --> 0:18:21.653 Sure all you had a couple of Have you had 0:18:21.693 --> 0:18:25.573 a couple of heavy frost the last couple of mornings?

So we do want to keep an eye 0:18:43.453 --> 0:18:45.773 on that. There does seem to be a weather event happening, 0:18:45.853 --> 0:18:49.413 so we're across that tonight. Also feels like our crack 0:18:49.453 --> 0:18:51.613 the winter stories. It's all about the frost, because there's 0:18:51.613 --> 0:18:54.093 been some very heavy ones that seem to be quite early. 0:18:54.173 --> 0:18:57.293 It's about the car and how you enage to because 0:18:57.333 --> 0:18:59.733 I'm surprised there's not a button that you can remote 0:18:59.813 --> 0:19:01.493 just stay in the house and click it that can 0:19:01.493 --> 0:19:06.733 actually stort itself out, someone says Marcus. So I tell 0:19:06.773 --> 0:19:08.373 my wife to go out and warm up the car 0:19:08.453 --> 0:19:11.173 for me every morning. I then slipping with my mug 0:19:11.213 --> 0:19:15.013 of coffee doing that. Guy's for real, kind of a 0:19:15.053 --> 0:19:18.373 shame thing to brag about. To see if he's mentioned 0:19:18.413 --> 0:19:22.173 his wife and they of the other texts, who knows, 0:19:22.453 --> 0:19:25.133 Oh wait, one hundred eighty said he's severe weather around 0:19:25.173 --> 0:19:27.933 the country also to we're not a stranger to that here. 0:19:27.933 --> 0:19:29.813 I'll keep you across that tonight throughout the course of 0:19:29.853 --> 0:19:33.693 the evening. Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome 0:19:33.693 --> 0:19:37.653 head twelve. Keep those texts coming through. There are plenty 0:19:38.373 --> 0:19:40.453 fairly simple, ain't it. Go out five minutes before you 0:19:40.493 --> 0:19:42.013 need to leave, and start the car of the heater 0:19:42.053 --> 0:19:43.533 on and leave it running and go back and side 0:19:43.573 --> 0:19:46.213 and finish your bizo. When you go back out, the 0:19:46.253 --> 0:19:48.013 car is warm, the window clear, and away you go. 0:19:48.253 --> 0:19:50.093 I think most of us don't work like that. Most 0:19:50.093 --> 0:19:51.813 of us like for me, it's getting the kids to 0:19:51.853 --> 0:19:55.253 school and or something like that, and I'm just leaving 0:19:55.293 --> 0:19:58.293 it till last minute. I'm not actually aware that when 0:19:58.293 --> 0:19:59.453 I go out there the car is going to be 0:19:59.453 --> 0:20:04.453 all frosted over, So it's like always a surprise, Marcus. 0:20:04.453 --> 0:20:06.373 Good to have your back. I lived in Alberta, canad 0:20:06.413 --> 0:20:08.133 The best loose to frosted windscreen is to put a 0:20:08.173 --> 0:20:10.573 beach tail on the front windscreen when you get out, 0:20:10.573 --> 0:20:11.933 remove it in the morning, give it a shake to 0:20:11.933 --> 0:20:14.853 remove the frost snow. Everyone has a beach tail in 0:20:14.853 --> 0:20:17.733 the cupboard, Marcus. I do a bit of work in 0:20:17.733 --> 0:20:20.213 the prisons. When I go down to Tonganedo Prison, I 0:20:20.293 --> 0:20:23.173 always see the overnight workers with towels and blankets across 0:20:23.213 --> 0:20:26.933 their windscreens when it's cold. Apparently it means they when 0:20:26.933 --> 0:20:28.373 they get up and finish their shift in the morning. 0:20:28.413 --> 0:20:30.253 They could just walk out and lift the ice off 0:20:30.253 --> 0:20:32.933 the windscreen. Don't work if it works, but they all 0:20:32.933 --> 0:20:34.253 seem to don't know if it works, but they all 0:20:34.253 --> 0:20:41.133 seem to do it.

But you're going to find 0:23:28.293 --> 0:23:32.573 it out about these new laminated windscreens whether they shatter. 0:23:32.853 --> 0:23:33.653 I don't think they. 0:23:33.573 --> 0:23:38.293 Do, but I'll find out with your news newspapers, Nigel. 0:23:38.613 --> 0:23:41.973 Are they on the inside of the car or the outside? 0:23:42.293 --> 0:23:43.893 I always had them on the outside. 0:23:44.173 --> 0:23:45.413 How did you keep them in place? 0:23:46.853 --> 0:23:49.493 Well, it's still it's all right, But if the wooden 0:23:49.493 --> 0:23:53.013 comes up, the frost normally goes off, doesn't it when. 0:23:52.853 --> 0:23:56.093 They But how would you stop them from sliding down? 0:23:57.453 --> 0:23:57.733 Oh? 0:23:57.773 --> 0:24:01.093 Well you can if you're inside and can't see it happening. 0:24:02.173 --> 0:24:04.733 If if you're aware of it, you just go out 0:24:04.733 --> 0:24:07.493 and do it. If you're not aware of the newspapers 0:24:07.493 --> 0:24:11.453 sliding down, it's just you know, you revert back to 0:24:11.573 --> 0:24:17.053 the warm not too hot a water on the windscreen. 0:24:17.373 --> 0:24:19.213 Oh you've got the ODT havn't you were just still 0:24:19.293 --> 0:24:20.013 quite a big paper? 0:24:21.533 --> 0:24:23.573 Yeah?

I think probably the ODT would 0:24:46.013 --> 0:24:48.413 be a bit of a what would be a bit 0:24:48.453 --> 0:24:53.493 of a miracle that it's still going privately? 0:24:55.653 --> 0:25:00.773 Yeah, and it's sometimes I go into the shop Supermark 0:25:00.893 --> 0:25:03.213 on this sold out and other times the stacks of 0:25:03.333 --> 0:25:07.013 papers left to sell.

Oh he didn't say that, NLGE. 0:27:55.573 --> 0:27:57.533 You didn't mention the wipers as the that's the thing 0:27:57.573 --> 0:27:59.573 to hold them in place. I set them up for that, 0:27:59.653 --> 0:28:03.453 didn't I let them on. Didn't take the bait. Ask 0:28:03.533 --> 0:28:09.293 too many questions, that guy.

Got none 0:28:52.853 --> 0:28:56.333 idea what those things are? Very expensive way to buy kitchen. 0:28:56.333 --> 0:28:58.653 Where would be my advice on you with those ones? 0:28:59.973 --> 0:29:02.853 But people get obsessed with that but cash and quickly 0:29:03.813 --> 0:29:05.973 don't be sitting there with people with stickers that are 0:29:06.053 --> 0:29:07.853 alive and haven't got enough to get what they need 0:29:08.293 --> 0:29:11.133 and driving all around town to get this Smeg cockette 0:29:11.213 --> 0:29:15.893 or whatever that is cheapers. Pretty amazing when those potential 0:29:17.333 --> 0:29:22.493 riots and Los Angeles that they're ordering autonomous cars and 0:29:22.533 --> 0:29:26.533 then sitting light to them. I hadn't expected that is 0:29:26.533 --> 0:29:29.693 something that would happen. It's called weimo or something like that, 0:29:29.733 --> 0:29:33.213 but that just seemed extraordinary. I think that's the story 0:29:33.213 --> 0:29:35.293 that's going to resolve itself for any time. So anyway, 0:29:35.453 --> 0:29:38.413 just coming up towards the news people frost for cars 0:29:38.453 --> 0:29:40.773 and the ways to combat that's what we are talking about. 0:29:40.973 --> 0:29:43.693 And veryous, serious floods that seem to be happening right 0:29:43.733 --> 0:29:45.253 round the top of the North island at the moment. 0:29:45.733 --> 0:29:47.973 Be good to hear from you for that, Marcus. Those 0:29:48.013 --> 0:29:50.693 patted sunscreen shades us inside the windows to block the 0:29:50.733 --> 0:29:56.133 sun are great to use on outside windscreens for frosty mornings.

Put that one of the wind 0:30:01.533 --> 0:30:08.013 screens on the outside, I would have thought, Marcus, for windscreen, 0:30:08.093 --> 0:30:12.653 use your folding sunscreen protection for frost. People seem to 0:30:12.693 --> 0:30:18.173 swear by flattened cardboard. I just say cardboard. I think 0:30:18.213 --> 0:30:19.533 you know it'd be flat, and I think people gonna 0:30:19.493 --> 0:30:25.013 put actually boxes on their windscreen with Yeah, I don't 0:30:25.013 --> 0:30:28.653 know if the word flattened isn't necessary there. Now I've 0:30:28.653 --> 0:30:32.253 been shot by a rubber bullet. We're pretty painful for that, reporter, 0:30:32.333 --> 0:30:35.133 isn't it. I haven't seen the bruise, but I imagine it's 0:30:35.173 --> 0:30:43.893 significant and certainly caused it to whelp. Yeah, it seemed 0:30:44.013 --> 0:30:48.253 unfairly barbaric, But just checking that out there as a 0:30:48.253 --> 0:30:51.733 side topic, Marcus, newspaper's going going gone nothing to wrap 0:30:51.733 --> 0:30:54.213 the fish and chips windscreen frost.

Most if not all, have mobility permits displayed, 0:31:42.573 --> 0:31:45.573 but they don't appear to be genuine, especially when they 0:31:45.613 --> 0:31:48.933 run to eateries to get the orders. Just witness the 0:31:49.013 --> 0:31:53.133 car displaying a mobility permit trying to find a park. 0:31:53.213 --> 0:31:55.653 The poor ladies struggled to walk to the shop. Not 0:31:55.773 --> 0:31:59.173 really good enough, especially when the uber drivers stood there 0:31:59.213 --> 0:32:04.213 and watched her. I have never witnessed that.

And I don't know if you 0:34:00.293 --> 0:34:05.493 remember that, Yeah, maybe, yep, yep, okay, so and this 0:34:05.573 --> 0:34:07.893 is this is interesting because I mean I was just 0:34:07.893 --> 0:34:11.733 sort of half asleep, and then the next day aren 0:34:11.853 --> 0:34:15.773 Z reported the sale extremely blandly, with no comment whatsoever, 0:34:15.853 --> 0:34:20.533 no editorial or anything like that. And you're absolutely right, 0:34:20.613 --> 0:34:26.493 it's extremely silly, and it's only there was an article 0:34:26.573 --> 0:34:31.133 in the Herald in November by one Andrea Fox, you know, 0:34:31.733 --> 0:34:35.453 completely castigating it. And essentially what they're going to do 0:34:35.533 --> 0:34:38.293 is they're going to sell the Anchor brand, which has 0:34:38.333 --> 0:34:45.253 been a brand since eighteen eighty six, Mainland and one 0:34:45.293 --> 0:34:49.653 other I can't remember now, but I mean and essentially, 0:34:50.053 --> 0:34:53.253 if you look at what they're saying, they're saying, oh well, 0:34:53.773 --> 0:34:56.253 and as Andrea Fox points out in the Herald article 0:34:57.173 --> 0:34:59.973 in twenty first of November. That's right there when it 0:35:00.053 --> 0:35:03.413 was that what they said. The argument seems to be 0:35:03.453 --> 0:35:06.253 for Miles Howell the CEOs, they're not very good at marketing, 0:35:06.653 --> 0:35:09.253 so they're not really going to bother anymore, which is 0:35:09.253 --> 0:35:14.213 absolutely ridiculous. And I just want to write it to 0:35:14.253 --> 0:35:16.813 my own experience. When I was in Britain in nineteen 0:35:16.813 --> 0:35:21.653 eighty seven eighty eight, you had lovely Kerry Gold butter, 0:35:22.373 --> 0:35:24.093 a tiny little bit I think it was two hundred 0:35:24.133 --> 0:35:27.773 grams or something like that, in a lovely golden wrapper, 0:35:28.933 --> 0:35:30.773 and you paid as much for that as you did 0:35:30.813 --> 0:35:33.293 for you know, a pound of New Zealand butter in 0:35:33.333 --> 0:35:37.533 the white in the white rap. Then fast forward to 0:35:37.573 --> 0:35:40.813 nineteen ninety seven, I was teaching in Japan, and when 0:35:40.853 --> 0:35:43.853 you went into a big, super big department store like 0:35:43.893 --> 0:35:47.013 Soga or something, by then you had a firmly brand 0:35:47.053 --> 0:35:50.053 butter in some foil, but it was still the leaders 0:35:50.053 --> 0:35:51.773 were still Kerry Gold, and most of their NEWSS and 0:35:51.813 --> 0:35:54.813 butter were still in the white rap. We are already useless 0:35:54.813 --> 0:35:56.933 at mark, I think, but there's no reason not to 0:35:56.973 --> 0:36:02.493 do it. And then Fontia sold there, you know, the 0:36:02.533 --> 0:36:04.933 ice cream business a few years ago to a Filipino 0:36:05.053 --> 0:36:10.173 firm and they're going to keep their ingredients business, but 0:36:10.853 --> 0:36:13.813 they haven't really factored them. And that there are three 0:36:13.933 --> 0:36:17.133 main parties that are really interested in it apparently are 0:36:17.453 --> 0:36:21.173 two French ones, ones called Lactalis and other ones than Non, 0:36:21.373 --> 0:36:25.453 and of course the Swiss Nestley now and also a bigger, 0:36:25.533 --> 0:36:28.733 bigger is a new one that's that sort of entered 0:36:28.893 --> 0:36:33.493 the market apparently from Australia, which is rather odd because 0:36:33.493 --> 0:36:36.693 they've got a less of a capital value than, you know, 0:36:36.973 --> 0:36:40.973 than the New Zealand operation. But I mean the whole 0:36:41.013 --> 0:36:43.813 point is if they do sell all that stuff off, 0:36:46.773 --> 0:36:49.973 they've supplied a lot of you know, commodity product to 0:36:50.573 --> 0:36:53.213 the Noon for instance, and if it's applied quite a 0:36:53.253 --> 0:36:56.013 lot to Nestley over the years, so you could have 0:36:56.053 --> 0:37:00.573 the prospect of the Non's got factories in Eastern Europe 0:37:01.333 --> 0:37:03.773 dairy factories, so they could have the prospect of anchor 0:37:03.853 --> 0:37:06.093 butter being produced in Poland for god. 0:37:06.733 --> 0:37:06.973 Yeah. 0:37:07.173 --> 0:37:10.133 And the thing is that the thing is fontirases in 0:37:10.173 --> 0:37:12.693 o good at marketing. But we always heard that our 0:37:13.373 --> 0:37:16.413 clean green ki We brand was better marketing than anything, 0:37:17.093 --> 0:37:18.773 and that was awful what they said, but that just 0:37:18.773 --> 0:37:20.933 seems to be thrown out now. No one cares about that. 0:37:21.653 --> 0:37:23.693 Well, I mean is it clean and green? I mean 0:37:23.693 --> 0:37:26.653 I live in the extreme southwestern christ Church and when 0:37:26.653 --> 0:37:29.933 I regularly is part of work drive to say Timaru. 0:37:31.413 --> 0:37:34.333 All the old dry land farms, you know, the beef 0:37:34.413 --> 0:37:37.493 and sheep farms, have been replaced by these giant milk factories, 0:37:38.693 --> 0:37:40.893 and so they're not particularly clean and green. All the 0:37:40.973 --> 0:37:44.613 macrocarpa hedges that used to be there to shelter gone on, yeh, 0:37:44.853 --> 0:37:48.533 because they need to wheel around these great irrigation booms. 0:37:48.893 --> 0:37:55.213 So and I'm going to upset people now, but I 0:37:55.253 --> 0:37:58.733 probably already have. But you see them farmers essentially found 0:37:58.773 --> 0:38:02.373 for capital gain, whether they realize that or not, because 0:38:02.373 --> 0:38:05.013 there's no capital gains tax, so that they've taken their 0:38:05.053 --> 0:38:07.813 eye off the economic ball. They just continue that they're 0:38:07.813 --> 0:38:11.053 they're waiting for their big sort of lotto payout, which 0:38:11.093 --> 0:38:14.813 is absolutely guaranteed. So and also there are a cooperative too, 0:38:14.813 --> 0:38:18.453 and cooperatives tend to be conservative, but there are cooperatives 0:38:18.493 --> 0:38:20.693 that have been really good, like Kerry Gold for instance, 0:38:22.853 --> 0:38:25.333 you know, great marketing. They've got about five thousand farmers 0:38:25.373 --> 0:38:28.453 in Ireland, but they seem to be innovative in that. 0:38:28.573 --> 0:38:30.733 I don't know, is it just part of our colonial 0:38:30.773 --> 0:38:33.533 past or what. But something else is going to happen, 0:38:34.413 --> 0:38:36.853 you know, when they're in negotiations with say to None 0:38:37.373 --> 0:38:41.973 or Nestle or like Talis, it's like a game of poker, 0:38:42.013 --> 0:38:44.373 and they're going to know if they set up this 0:38:44.453 --> 0:38:49.653 year next year that that Fontira has got no aces 0:38:49.733 --> 0:38:54.013 or jacks anymore. If it sells Anca and Mainland, they 0:38:54.053 --> 0:38:55.773 might have a one or two in the form of 0:38:55.773 --> 0:38:58.293 their ingredients business, which they're still going to keep. And 0:38:58.333 --> 0:39:02.093 they know in negotiations that Fonterra, if they don't get 0:39:02.133 --> 0:39:04.133 a good price, can't say, oh, we're going to just 0:39:04.173 --> 0:39:09.493 pump more polity product into our own brands. And then 0:39:09.493 --> 0:39:12.293 they're going to be squashing their heads wondering why that 0:39:12.333 --> 0:39:14.053 they're going to get less money than they thought they 0:39:14.093 --> 0:39:17.173 would for their commodities because it's all very very commodity 0:39:17.613 --> 0:39:21.093 commodities now and they're going to be going, well, I 0:39:21.093 --> 0:39:22.133 wonder how they happened. 0:39:22.653 --> 0:39:24.413 Yeah, I don't disagree. I think it's a bit similar 0:39:24.413 --> 0:39:27.853 to that New Zealand. New Zealand Rugby that's great behemoth 0:39:27.893 --> 0:39:31.693 that we all know what's going to happen, and just 0:39:31.773 --> 0:39:34.573 bad decision making. I think we saw that and some 0:39:34.653 --> 0:39:36.853 of the lineup changes. Lyle, thank you so much for 0:39:36.933 --> 0:39:40.533 your call. I appreciate that. Keep them going. Switt's Marcus, welcome, 0:39:40.573 --> 0:39:41.093 good evening. 0:39:43.613 --> 0:39:44.213 I'm Marcus. 0:39:50.053 --> 0:39:51.053 Where did you say you were. 0:39:52.493 --> 0:39:52.693 In it? 0:39:53.573 --> 0:39:59.653 And Ricky Ringy after shaving done some rabbit shooting, and 0:39:59.813 --> 0:40:02.613 I just stopped from my dinner delicious, and I was 0:40:02.653 --> 0:40:04.813 just thinking about the weather because I'm watching the weather 0:40:04.973 --> 0:40:06.293 very close to the first or I want to talk 0:40:06.453 --> 0:40:10.933 without sex on your windscreen to stop the ice and 0:40:11.013 --> 0:40:12.213 you see it.

So there we go. There's trouble with 0:40:30.773 --> 0:40:34.613 the airlines as well. Yes, sex under the windscreens here, yes, yes. 0:40:34.853 --> 0:40:38.493 And of course if you go to a garden's end 0:40:38.533 --> 0:40:42.373 of these days you can buy coffee husks for your compost. 0:40:42.653 --> 0:40:44.933 In a big sec it comes to the big issum 0:40:45.053 --> 0:40:49.653 sect and it would have free trade, organically sourced, and 0:40:49.693 --> 0:40:52.093 a brand of coffee. Now if you put those on 0:40:52.093 --> 0:40:54.013 your weskey, if you're going to say, now that's a 0:40:54.133 --> 0:40:55.413 touch a class. 0:40:55.173 --> 0:40:57.693 I see the sex, not the sex, not the coffee grounds. 0:40:59.173 --> 0:41:00.893 No, no, don't put the coffee grounds on the carry 0:41:00.893 --> 0:41:01.933 and to block the ecodishing. 0:41:02.373 --> 0:41:03.173 Okay, that's good. 0:41:03.733 --> 0:41:07.973 Yeah, yeah, So you know, just use a husks on 0:41:08.013 --> 0:41:10.053 your garden like the compost and then put the second 0:41:10.133 --> 0:41:11.853 there field go. I would he's gone to the trouble 0:41:11.893 --> 0:41:16.773 of getting organically sourced, free trade sick, very classy and 0:41:17.013 --> 0:41:17.413 the brand. 0:41:17.893 --> 0:41:19.973 And honestly, here are you someone that goes out and 0:41:20.013 --> 0:41:21.973 does things before on the night before to stop the 0:41:21.973 --> 0:41:23.093 windscreen frosting up? 0:41:23.853 --> 0:41:27.413 No, I don't worry about that too much. And here 0:41:27.413 --> 0:41:29.333 in Ricky Irey is a couple of frosts. We've had 0:41:29.333 --> 0:41:31.333 a couple of frosts recently. Actually got a wall shee 0:41:31.413 --> 0:41:35.653 rin up here and that's pretty cold. But it's no 0:41:36.053 --> 0:41:38.413 just you know, back at the war she's right away 0:41:38.453 --> 0:41:40.373 we go and I don't think we get the frost 0:41:40.373 --> 0:41:42.213 like you're doing the needing for example, you know, and 0:41:42.533 --> 0:41:43.773 down there we don't you. 0:41:45.253 --> 0:41:48.813 You're in lend from Wyk and I a yep, probably 0:41:48.853 --> 0:41:53.733 about maybe twenty five twenty eight calumebras from the coastline, 0:41:54.013 --> 0:41:56.773 kepity coastline. There's nothing near, there's nothing there is. 0:41:56.813 --> 0:42:00.973 There nothing here in Rocky Ringy, Yeah, what is there? 0:42:01.773 --> 0:42:06.533 There's beautiful lifestyle blocks, lots of beautiful lifestyle rocks, two 0:42:06.613 --> 0:42:11.173 or three working farms still maybe six working farms. There's 0:42:11.253 --> 0:42:14.253 the main road that links Why can I over the 0:42:14.253 --> 0:42:16.133 Ekatara road to go that one over the hill to 0:42:16.293 --> 0:42:20.453 Upper Hut. So it's a it's an inland road. So 0:42:20.573 --> 0:42:23.533 whenever the other highways to cloth, who will try to 0:42:23.573 --> 0:42:25.973 go over that road even though it's big side that say, 0:42:26.053 --> 0:42:28.373 you know, don't bring tracks. Though it's a coach road. 0:42:28.413 --> 0:42:31.093 You know, it's an old coach road and it's narrow 0:42:31.173 --> 0:42:33.493 and treacherous, but it's great fun and it's through some 0:42:33.493 --> 0:42:37.053 beautiful country. But people come here and they take their 0:42:37.093 --> 0:42:39.653 camp events over here because if from somewhere else and 0:42:39.693 --> 0:42:40.333 they get stuck. 0:42:40.733 --> 0:42:42.773 No, I think I think I've done Haywoods, but not 0:42:42.853 --> 0:42:44.973 the one for the Ekatara. So that looks like a Philly. 0:42:45.093 --> 0:42:46.533 That looks like a Philly significant road. 0:42:47.333 --> 0:42:49.293 That's a that's a niggly little road, lofty heap and 0:42:49.333 --> 0:42:51.133 corners and big drop offs on the side. If you 0:42:51.173 --> 0:42:53.253 drop off, they's good bye, Charlie, Tom. But I want 0:42:53.293 --> 0:42:55.053 to talk to you about the weather. And the weather 0:42:55.133 --> 0:42:56.653 is really interesting. I'm sitting here and of course I 0:42:56.733 --> 0:42:58.453 have to watch the rep the weather as a rabbit 0:42:58.533 --> 0:43:02.053 color because I need to know when it's changing, go 0:43:02.173 --> 0:43:07.453 home before I start melting. And I watch the rain 0:43:07.573 --> 0:43:11.373 radar on the met Surface New Zealand Met Service rain radar, 0:43:11.813 --> 0:43:14.973 and it's very very specific. It's a real time radar 0:43:15.533 --> 0:43:17.413 and you can see the clouds coming in well, the 0:43:17.413 --> 0:43:20.533 clouds it was forecast and the three day forecast to 0:43:20.653 --> 0:43:22.853 come across Caperity coast nine o'clock was now after nine 0:43:22.853 --> 0:43:25.253 o'clock and the rain hasn't arrived. But the clouds are 0:43:25.253 --> 0:43:29.813 coming across the Taranaki byte and they literally parted and 0:43:30.693 --> 0:43:34.293 Palms the north and Marsden we're the top and the 0:43:34.293 --> 0:43:36.253 bottom of the cloud. And it went across towards each 0:43:36.333 --> 0:43:43.213 towards tell Us Cake Taliser and breathing from west to east, 0:43:43.453 --> 0:43:46.013 and it just parted over Capity and Carig didn't get 0:43:46.013 --> 0:43:49.253 any rain. And then it carried on. But if people 0:43:49.253 --> 0:43:51.493 want to have a really really good idea of where 0:43:51.533 --> 0:43:54.253 the heavy rain is, the met Service rain radar you 0:43:54.293 --> 0:43:56.613 can dial up your own town. Where you can dial 0:43:56.693 --> 0:43:59.893 up your own town one hundred and twenty kilos around 0:43:59.893 --> 0:44:04.413 your hometown, three hundred kilometers around your hometown, the whole 0:44:04.413 --> 0:44:06.773 of New Zealand, and you can see if you. 0:44:07.453 --> 0:44:08.853 I think it's fair to say we are on the 0:44:08.893 --> 0:44:11.933 golden age of weather information at our hands. We've got 0:44:11.973 --> 0:44:14.093 it all, haven't we. We know exactly what's going to happen. 0:44:14.853 --> 0:44:17.533 It bugus belief, the biggest belief. 0:44:18.213 --> 0:44:22.133 Big sorry, biggest belief that things like sandbars can't be 0:44:22.213 --> 0:44:24.853 dug out before the before the rain comes to let 0:44:24.853 --> 0:44:25.773 the river go out the sea. 0:44:26.013 --> 0:44:26.333 That's it. 0:44:26.453 --> 0:44:30.813 And so we get a flood. And so how's the 0:44:30.853 --> 0:44:32.733 councils and the people who are in change of the 0:44:32.773 --> 0:44:36.133 waters dis changed at the river mouth in sync with 0:44:36.173 --> 0:44:38.853 the weather forecast. The bloody brilliant It's. 0:44:38.733 --> 0:44:40.373 Not quite where I was going here, But yeah, no, 0:44:40.533 --> 0:44:42.893 nice to hear from you. I just think when golden 0:44:43.333 --> 0:44:45.373 a golden age, have next you knowing what the weather's 0:44:45.413 --> 0:44:47.213 going to be if you haven't got a close. 0:44:47.333 --> 0:44:47.453 Dar. 0:44:47.613 --> 0:44:51.853 It's perfect because it just tells you all the time. Marcus, 0:44:51.933 --> 0:44:54.733 no frost in the garage, just saying it's been very 0:44:54.773 --> 0:44:56.813 heavily raining here in Hamlet for the past three hours 0:44:56.933 --> 0:45:03.773 or more. Marcus. The anchor Brat milk brand is so popping. 0:45:03.813 --> 0:45:07.853 Well know, it's sometimes reverred to as milk and general parents, 0:45:07.853 --> 0:45:10.253 shrill ankor. It's the most love dairy brand of the country. 0:45:11.613 --> 0:45:21.413 It's synonymous with milk anchor. Ah, it's snowing State Highway eight, 0:45:23.213 --> 0:45:29.973 quite heavy around or Matama and twicel. So she's four seasons. 0:45:30.053 --> 0:45:33.293 Let's hear from you back soon. By the way, they've 0:45:33.293 --> 0:45:35.213 got they've thrown good money out of the bed. They've 0:45:35.213 --> 0:45:38.333 tried to fix that roundabout in total longer by putting 0:45:39.213 --> 0:45:42.373 orange poles in it. That sounds like a Biggs muddle. 0:45:44.173 --> 0:45:45.613 I'll tell you which one is. I think it's been 0:45:45.813 --> 0:45:54.453 open for a while. I'll tell you the name of it. Oh, 0:45:54.493 --> 0:45:59.613 the tod Eco roundabout. I think it's an older roundabout 0:45:59.613 --> 0:46:01.893 with a new layout of Someone might put me more 0:46:01.973 --> 0:46:07.133 right with that, Colin, Marcus, welcome, Mark. 0:46:07.093 --> 0:46:07.733 How are you good? 0:46:07.773 --> 0:46:08.293 Thanks Colin? 0:46:09.773 --> 0:46:12.973 Yeah, mate, I can answer a question about the roundabout 0:46:13.013 --> 0:46:15.493 for you. I wasn't sure what your query was though. 0:46:15.573 --> 0:46:17.533 What was your query about the new round about at total? 0:46:17.933 --> 0:46:18.893 How long has it been there for? 0:46:21.613 --> 0:46:23.293 Oh geez uh. 0:46:25.013 --> 0:46:26.573 Ah ten years? 0:46:27.213 --> 0:46:28.413 Eight years? Ten years? 0:46:28.453 --> 0:46:31.533 So were their problems? Whether why have they tried to 0:46:31.653 --> 0:46:32.093 change it? 0:46:33.693 --> 0:46:37.373 I would say it would be a layout thing to 0:46:37.373 --> 0:46:41.293 to help traffic flow. I would imagine, okay, to help 0:46:41.373 --> 0:46:43.853 some cards, maybe have a free left turn or an 0:46:43.893 --> 0:46:47.253 easier right turn during peak traffic. It's actually really hard 0:46:47.293 --> 0:46:51.173 because people drive on to the roundabout and then wait 0:46:51.213 --> 0:46:53.653 on the roundabout so no one else can get on 0:46:53.733 --> 0:46:55.653 until they can go, But then people behind them have 0:46:55.693 --> 0:46:58.973 already joined the roundabound about, so it's it's a bit 0:46:58.973 --> 0:46:59.893 of a shmodel. Really. 0:47:00.173 --> 0:47:01.893 It sounds to me it's a symptom of a greater 0:47:01.973 --> 0:47:05.573 problem that all the traffic and total on it is 0:47:05.613 --> 0:47:07.693 sort of not really functioning that well because of a 0:47:07.733 --> 0:47:08.373 lack of planning. 0:47:09.813 --> 0:47:13.333 No, and it's you're exactly right, and that side of 0:47:13.373 --> 0:47:15.533 town is where it comes off. The comis on State 0:47:15.613 --> 0:47:18.773 Highway twenty nine, which if we've ever tried to get 0:47:18.893 --> 0:47:21.853 anywhere around that area on a Friday afternoon at five o'clock, 0:47:23.333 --> 0:47:24.453 don't make plans. 0:47:25.613 --> 0:47:27.413 Yeah, copy, okay, because it's going. 0:47:27.373 --> 0:47:28.133 To take you forever. 0:47:29.173 --> 0:47:31.693 I was updating you on the toting and weather. It 0:47:31.853 --> 0:47:34.693 is raining and has been for a while now, and 0:47:34.733 --> 0:47:35.573 it's quite chilly. 0:47:35.973 --> 0:47:37.093 Yep, sure, which is nice. 0:47:37.253 --> 0:47:39.213 Yeah, is it a real thing? 0:47:39.413 --> 0:47:41.533 Is hang on? Just before you got going to your 0:47:41.573 --> 0:47:43.693 really is it floody sort of weather. 0:47:45.053 --> 0:47:45.573 A little bit? 0:47:45.733 --> 0:47:48.253 Yeah, we've just bo and I've just been playing badminton 0:47:48.853 --> 0:47:55.733 at the Queen Elizabeth Center and it was sounded trential 0:47:56.053 --> 0:48:00.893 on the roof because obviously got no no antilation or anything, 0:48:00.973 --> 0:48:04.773 you know, tin roof. Yeah, sounded torrential. It's outside has 0:48:04.853 --> 0:48:05.813 quite flooded, but it's. 0:48:05.693 --> 0:48:07.493 Easing off now, okay of hearing it. 0:48:07.573 --> 0:48:09.453 Yep, it's been a very wet time. 0:48:10.253 --> 0:48:12.493 Just just throw this. 0:48:13.013 --> 0:48:16.333 Was getting some gas the other day and I noticed 0:48:16.333 --> 0:48:21.373 that some pumps, you know, it slows down without no 0:48:21.653 --> 0:48:23.533 leader and a half to go or something like that, 0:48:25.373 --> 0:48:30.333 the vengeful pump. Yes, yes, So I was just wondering, 0:48:31.093 --> 0:48:33.973 why do they have to make it slow down so soon? 0:48:34.333 --> 0:48:37.653 Last two leaders take nearly two minutes? 0:48:38.333 --> 0:48:38.693 Do they? 0:48:38.933 --> 0:48:41.653 I wonder if they expect people to walk away and 0:48:41.733 --> 0:48:43.813 leave their last fifty cents with a gas because they 0:48:43.813 --> 0:48:50.813 can't be bother waiting. Is it a money making employee? 0:48:51.973 --> 0:48:52.533 What do you think? 0:48:53.733 --> 0:48:57.613 I don't know. I've filled up today, and yeah, I 0:48:57.653 --> 0:49:00.973 don't know. If I wouldn't say it takes two minutes 0:49:01.013 --> 0:49:02.493 for the last leader and a half, would it? 0:49:03.773 --> 0:49:05.573 Maybe it's tight over exaggeration, but. 0:49:08.533 --> 0:49:08.773 I don't. 0:49:09.453 --> 0:49:12.613 I don't. I don't know. I don't know enough about 0:49:12.613 --> 0:49:15.013 the mechanics. I know some people are consumed. How much 0:49:15.133 --> 0:49:17.533 is left in the pipe? 0:49:17.933 --> 0:49:25.373 Yes, yes, I met it. Maybe one of our listeners 0:49:25.413 --> 0:49:27.533 knows more about her and could update us. 0:49:30.013 --> 0:49:34.093 Yeah, I don't know how that would work. Yeah, I 0:49:35.413 --> 0:49:37.453 don't know how they checked the volume that's going in. 0:49:37.533 --> 0:49:40.693 I don't know how it works. I'd never thought about 0:49:40.733 --> 0:49:41.853 how the outside. 0:49:43.333 --> 0:49:46.173 Yeah, I was standing outside. It was cold, it was 0:49:46.333 --> 0:49:51.093 raining sideways, and the last sort of leta took ages. 0:49:51.613 --> 0:49:54.253 I almost hang up the hose to just get out 0:49:54.293 --> 0:49:58.053 of the rain, and thought, what if this is some sneaky, 0:49:58.693 --> 0:49:59.693 big oil trick. 0:50:02.213 --> 0:50:04.653 Why are you standing outside? Why don't you just why 0:50:04.853 --> 0:50:06.293 just push fall and click the button on? 0:50:10.253 --> 0:50:11.693 This one had no about it. You know, some of 0:50:11.693 --> 0:50:13.173 them they don't have it. 0:50:13.333 --> 0:50:16.373 That's terrible when they haven't broken or yeah, Okay, isn't 0:50:16.373 --> 0:50:20.453 it just yeah, yes for thought, Marcus, appreciate it. Cod. 0:50:20.453 --> 0:50:22.133 I'll trying to find out that everyone knows how they work. 0:50:22.173 --> 0:50:24.973 I'd like to hear from you. Someone's emailed me kure Marcus. 0:50:25.013 --> 0:50:27.533 I was wondering if you'd be able to ask your 0:50:27.733 --> 0:50:30.813 listeners of that information regarding a friend of mine that 0:50:30.973 --> 0:50:33.693 went missing on the twenty eighth of March twenty twenty 0:50:33.693 --> 0:50:37.533 three from Fielding. His name is Stephen James Ryan. This 0:50:37.613 --> 0:50:44.133 is a copy of his missing person profile. Stephen James 0:50:44.173 --> 0:50:51.373 Ryan born nineteen eighty three, will be forty two, location 0:50:51.493 --> 0:50:54.493 Onne W two. Stephen was last seen at nine pm 0:50:54.893 --> 0:51:00.013 on the twentieth of March twenty twenty three, an address 0:51:00.013 --> 0:51:03.613 in Mane Over two. Police send family have concerns us 0:51:03.653 --> 0:51:05.693 well for an apeing to public and the signings information 0:51:06.653 --> 0:51:08.133 so one O five if you want a photo of 0:51:08.213 --> 0:51:10.133 him too, it's on the missing persons file on the 0:51:10.133 --> 0:51:14.093 Inded police website. So he's been missing for two years 0:51:14.173 --> 0:51:21.613 and two years three months. So there we go. Thanks 0:51:21.653 --> 0:51:23.093 for getting in touch with that too. I don't know 0:51:23.093 --> 0:51:27.253 if that's done any use. But and more about the 0:51:27.293 --> 0:51:30.693 Todico Roundabout roadworks have begun to add extra lanes and 0:51:30.773 --> 0:51:35.813 traffic lights to allow better flow to the Todiico Crossing mall. 0:51:39.453 --> 0:51:43.013 The lane changes and orange stickers are a nightmare, nightmare 0:51:43.053 --> 0:51:45.493 for people who are not aware of where to go. 0:51:47.453 --> 0:51:53.733 So council is now modifying the roundabouts to help the issues. Well, 0:51:53.813 --> 0:51:55.973 it does sound like the biggest model that doesn't it. 0:51:59.053 --> 0:52:01.693 I just can't quite work out how councils and traffic 0:52:01.773 --> 0:52:05.053 management could have no idea how cities are going to grow, 0:52:05.453 --> 0:52:08.413 because really they do and the pace they grow and 0:52:08.493 --> 0:52:12.813 not have the roading in place to help them a 0:52:12.893 --> 0:52:16.613 number of discussions they have with people about Queenstown because 0:52:16.693 --> 0:52:23.933 Queenstown's unworkable and they're spending millions and millions and hundreds 0:52:23.933 --> 0:52:25.613 millions of dollars to try and work it, and anything 0:52:25.653 --> 0:52:28.093 they do it just doesn't fix it because the planning 0:52:28.213 --> 0:52:36.173 is so bad. And I think Queenstown and Total Long 0:52:36.213 --> 0:52:38.613 and they're going to become two other places that people 0:52:38.653 --> 0:52:41.493 could well just walk away from because they've become unworkable. 0:52:43.013 --> 0:52:45.053 Remember on this show discussing whether people would rather live 0:52:45.093 --> 0:52:46.613 in Totong or Hamilton, and I thought it'd be a 0:52:46.613 --> 0:52:49.493 slam dun't for to longer, but people unanimously in favor 0:52:49.533 --> 0:52:52.933 of Hamilton because it's just impossible to get around Totong yet, 0:52:53.013 --> 0:52:58.333 you know, you can't go anywhere any time. And they're 0:52:58.373 --> 0:53:02.133 still developing, it still growing, and they're trying to fix 0:53:02.173 --> 0:53:05.813 everything retrospectively. And I had to say it, but the 0:53:05.853 --> 0:53:09.413 Meal lives in Clevedon. That doesn't no, not in Clevedon 0:53:09.453 --> 0:53:14.293 and Cambridge. That doesn't give you much hope. He won't 0:53:14.293 --> 0:53:16.533 even move there. I think he says he's going to. 0:53:16.693 --> 0:53:20.773 But still what a biggest muddle anyway, and also keeping 0:53:20.813 --> 0:53:22.933 you stopping the ice on your windscreen. All the lines 0:53:22.933 --> 0:53:24.293 are free to be nice to hear from you people. 0:53:24.333 --> 0:53:28.453 My name is Marcus Good Evening Marcus talking about missing people. 0:53:28.933 --> 0:53:30.773 Of the women from christ Church wrest Home that wanded 0:53:30.773 --> 0:53:33.733 off the sort have been found after a week. Police 0:53:33.853 --> 0:53:39.693 urging people to check their properties. Marcus, do you know 0:53:39.733 --> 0:53:45.253 where the new regulations are against tethering dogs for long 0:53:45.293 --> 0:53:50.173 periods will come into force? And how many people actually 0:53:50.173 --> 0:53:52.573 dib and neighbors or family members for dogs chained up 0:53:52.573 --> 0:53:56.093 outside and weather like this on any whether they shouldn't 0:53:56.093 --> 0:54:00.213 be chained up? Marcus, I lived just two minutes from 0:54:00.253 --> 0:54:03.133 the ton Eco Roundabout, which has been converted into a 0:54:03.133 --> 0:54:06.613 traffic light system due to rapid growth in the area 0:54:07.293 --> 0:54:09.413 with new housing developments of the stateho between nine right 0:54:09.453 --> 0:54:12.133 about connecting into ton Eco Industrial Area and the lot 0:54:12.173 --> 0:54:14.253 to a highway, there's expected to be a major increase 0:54:14.293 --> 0:54:19.133 in traffic and population since the road works began. I've 0:54:19.133 --> 0:54:23.053 seen multiple near missus trucks almost hitting cars, lots of confusions, 0:54:23.053 --> 0:54:27.533 spike car signage, and frequent tooting. The currencytu seems to 0:54:27.573 --> 0:54:33.293 be causing significant safety concerns. And how do bowsers charge 0:54:33.333 --> 0:54:37.613 for petrol? How do they know how much is going in? 0:54:37.653 --> 0:54:40.493 There must be some I can't quite work out how 0:54:40.533 --> 0:54:44.893 that works. I'm not saying it's inaccurate. I'm sure it's 0:54:44.893 --> 0:54:48.013 reaccur I'm sure there's weights and measures people are across there. 0:54:48.013 --> 0:54:49.413 I just like to know actually how it works for 0:54:49.493 --> 0:54:53.573 my own curiosity. Someone sent me an email about this roundabout. 0:54:53.573 --> 0:54:55.693 It seems to be a big story for the people 0:54:55.773 --> 0:55:01.613 of Totonga. Oh wow. What The red circle is the 0:55:01.813 --> 0:55:05.893 entrance to the Tonico Shopping Center, which is around about 0:55:05.893 --> 0:55:08.613 at the moment, and they are putting lights and going 0:55:08.613 --> 0:55:12.293 to take to October in the meantime, they put orange 0:55:12.293 --> 0:55:13.853 sticks to the middle of the road, which are two 0:55:13.893 --> 0:55:15.933 lane round about and if you get in the wrong lane, 0:55:15.933 --> 0:55:19.133 you're in trouble. We ever thought of this needs their 0:55:20.853 --> 0:55:25.373 head red, bloody joke. So why would you agree for 0:55:25.613 --> 0:55:31.893 a shopping center to go right next to a roundabout? Yeah, 0:55:32.053 --> 0:55:33.973 but I'll tell you what. The message it gives people 0:55:34.013 --> 0:55:37.653 about Totalong is pretty much, don't come and visit us 0:55:37.693 --> 0:55:43.253 because it's going to be a car nightmare. That very 0:55:43.293 --> 0:55:46.893 much seems to be the case. It's not a city, 0:55:46.933 --> 0:55:52.053 I know that intimately at all, but yeah, only because 0:55:52.093 --> 0:55:56.973 it's just such a such a hell to drive around. Anyway, 0:55:57.173 --> 0:55:59.453 get in touch with our talking about windscreens and the frost. 0:55:59.533 --> 0:56:03.573 Also tonight, there's something and Frederick Forsyth also too. You 0:56:03.653 --> 0:56:06.333 might have a deep dive into some of his book. 0:56:06.493 --> 0:56:10.493 That's always good to hear about such a fantastic movie, 0:56:10.573 --> 0:56:12.173 Dad the Jack. I think I read the book and 0:56:12.213 --> 0:56:15.533 watched the film. I'm pretty sure I did both of those, 0:56:17.093 --> 0:56:25.053 and the movie of was it the Odessophile kind of 0:56:25.093 --> 0:56:29.613 remember watching that. I can't remember that much about it, obviously. 0:56:31.933 --> 0:56:37.573 Memory for movies is not my strong suit. I feel 0:56:37.573 --> 0:56:39.533 like there's less and less space in your memory that 0:56:39.573 --> 0:56:41.893 you can take spinned up with movies. That's my take 0:56:41.933 --> 0:56:47.493 on that one. But yeah, I wouldn't mind talking about that. 0:56:47.533 --> 0:56:49.013 But it seemed to be a movie that we saw 0:56:49.053 --> 0:56:53.573 at school and was tremendous. The Odessaphile. Oh, by the way, 0:56:53.573 --> 0:56:57.653 the Dogs of War also sold six seventy five million books. Oh, 0:56:57.653 --> 0:56:59.773 I was curious about day how those fuel tanks work, 0:57:00.493 --> 0:57:04.613 the fuel bowsers, how they calculate how much fuel is 0:57:04.653 --> 0:57:07.093 going and if someone could give it a description of that? 0:57:07.253 --> 0:57:13.533 Also too total? What went wrong there? It's too many roundabouts. 0:57:13.573 --> 0:57:17.653 I think it seems that it was a tricky topography 0:57:17.693 --> 0:57:20.373 and tricky layout with the land and harbor. They never 0:57:20.453 --> 0:57:24.893 kind of got the roads right, and I mean clan 0:57:25.013 --> 0:57:30.293 ketchup maybe just grew too quick and the men playing 0:57:30.333 --> 0:57:32.573 ketchup every ever since. But if you're the council you're 0:57:32.573 --> 0:57:37.053 giving out planning consents, surely you know what's going on. 0:57:37.693 --> 0:57:39.573 If your zoning area is surely you're going to know 0:57:39.693 --> 0:57:41.293 when it's going to get big and how big it's 0:57:41.293 --> 0:57:46.373 going to get. Marcus get into the correct lane well 0:57:46.413 --> 0:57:50.693 before roundabouts intersections. Everyone should know where they're going. If 0:57:50.733 --> 0:57:53.653 you find yourself always trying to change lanes. You are 0:57:53.693 --> 0:57:58.253 the problem. Well, a lot of people look at Google 0:57:58.293 --> 0:58:00.533 Maps at the same time. That's till we get around now. 0:58:01.573 --> 0:58:03.893 I shop at the Tonico peckin Safe every week. Three 0:58:03.933 --> 0:58:06.133 weeks ago, I was in the same nan I always use, 0:58:06.653 --> 0:58:08.973 went around the corner and disappeared and had orange poles 0:58:08.973 --> 0:58:12.853 in it. Retically switched to the left lane to avoid them. 0:58:12.853 --> 0:58:14.173 And now he has been taken out by an eight 0:58:14.173 --> 0:58:17.693 whether truck. It's a complete and utter effing disaster zone. 0:58:17.773 --> 0:58:22.533 Someone's going to die, Marcus. The frigid evening has turned 0:58:22.573 --> 0:58:26.373 to balmy mild here in Auckland North. Thank you absolutely 0:58:26.373 --> 0:58:33.333 pouring down in cowdo torrential die Marcus. Most dumb decisions, 0:58:33.373 --> 0:58:37.973 such as a supermarket near a roundabout, are authorized by 0:58:38.093 --> 0:58:43.093 counselors who mates own the properties. They have zero regards 0:58:43.133 --> 0:58:54.733 for an area's infrastructure that's moved from McLean's Island. I 0:58:54.733 --> 0:58:58.893 think for a while there we got roundabout happy. I 0:58:58.893 --> 0:59:01.933 think roundabouts work up to a point, then you get 0:59:01.933 --> 0:59:05.853 too much congestion and too much traffic in a Yeah, 0:59:06.053 --> 0:59:08.333 there's a sweet spot for roundabouts, and then when there's 0:59:08.333 --> 0:59:12.453 too much traffic they failed to exist to work. Good evening, Roger, 0:59:12.493 --> 0:59:13.133 it's Marcus. 0:59:13.173 --> 0:59:16.093 Welcome, Hey Marcus, how you doing good? 0:59:16.093 --> 0:59:16.613 Thanks Roger. 0:59:17.733 --> 0:59:22.293 It's a wet night in Christ Judge, cheer to wetnight 0:59:23.613 --> 0:59:24.733 and Christ such yere. 0:59:26.373 --> 0:59:28.373 Thanks for the I hadn't heard that yet. 0:59:30.213 --> 0:59:32.133 Probably were everywhere things. 0:59:32.093 --> 0:59:33.733 Seems to be not down south, but. 0:59:33.773 --> 0:59:38.053 Ye yeah, hey, look just like I'm a truck drive 0:59:38.093 --> 0:59:41.093 around Christ huge. I've been driving around here for forty 0:59:41.333 --> 0:59:46.013 thousand years, quite a long time. And one thing I've 0:59:46.333 --> 0:59:49.773 always I've always thought about, and I have rung up 0:59:50.373 --> 0:59:53.613 talked back before about this is that when you come 0:59:53.693 --> 0:59:55.693 up to a set of lights, and there might be 0:59:55.733 --> 0:59:58.533 three or four lanes, and you come up to them, 0:59:59.573 --> 1:00:03.733 there is no lane layout for you to see approaching 1:00:04.013 --> 1:00:08.333 the lights. Right Sometimes you agree. 1:00:08.573 --> 1:00:10.053 You don't know, you don't have the left lane. It's 1:00:10.053 --> 1:00:11.133 going to be a left there, or it's going to 1:00:11.133 --> 1:00:12.013 be straight ahead and the left. 1:00:12.173 --> 1:00:16.613 I agree with that, yeah, yeah, And so I've always said, 1:00:16.693 --> 1:00:19.373 why don't they put it up on a sign over 1:00:19.413 --> 1:00:20.213 the lights. 1:00:19.933 --> 1:00:22.973 When you're coming up you can see the layout of 1:00:23.093 --> 1:00:26.013 the lanes so you know exactly what they Because the 1:00:26.053 --> 1:00:28.573 amount of times I have to let people and or 1:00:29.013 --> 1:00:31.293 people come up and then the well where do I go? 1:00:31.493 --> 1:00:31.733 Now? 1:00:32.453 --> 1:00:35.613 You know, I've even seen buses get confused. To be honestly, 1:00:36.013 --> 1:00:39.333 saw a bus a while ago ended up stuck on 1:00:39.373 --> 1:00:40.693 the wrong side of the road. 1:00:41.693 --> 1:00:44.173 And I wonder if any country has done that successfully, 1:00:44.173 --> 1:00:45.573 because I don't even know if I've heard of that. 1:00:46.613 --> 1:00:49.333 Well, I think they do it, maybe in the States. 1:00:50.573 --> 1:00:53.413 I could be wrong. I've never been here, but yeah, 1:00:53.493 --> 1:00:56.973 I just think it'd save a lot of hassles for people, 1:00:57.053 --> 1:01:00.813 because you know, it is like or which was this 1:01:01.013 --> 1:01:03.973 lane going on? As this is only left turning, And 1:01:04.053 --> 1:01:06.653 of course the other thing you have now when you 1:01:06.773 --> 1:01:11.293 come up to a seat of lights and there's the 1:01:11.333 --> 1:01:13.813 green light to go, but there's a really narrow for 1:01:13.933 --> 1:01:17.813 turning oh yeah, yeah for a pedestrian, and so all 1:01:17.853 --> 1:01:20.293 the cars are sitting behind you and people don't really 1:01:20.453 --> 1:01:22.493 start turning or vanslap. 1:01:22.853 --> 1:01:26.013 We'll talk more after the news. Thanks Roger. Large volume 1:01:26.053 --> 1:01:28.773 of texts about driving in Totong and what a shimozzle 1:01:28.813 --> 1:01:31.333 it is, so you might want to comment on here 1:01:31.413 --> 1:01:33.933 about that. I guess the question is why is it 1:01:34.093 --> 1:01:39.213 so bad? How bad is it? And the question that 1:01:39.253 --> 1:01:42.653 we don't really that we're not good at asking this country. 1:01:43.853 --> 1:01:47.613 That's what's the solution. Because I know about some people, 1:01:47.613 --> 1:01:50.373 but I suspect the people of todong Are are the 1:01:50.453 --> 1:01:53.373 last people in the world that would embrace public transport. 1:01:53.453 --> 1:01:57.893 So I can't see what the options are. Here's a 1:01:58.093 --> 1:02:01.653 sample of the texts Marcus Totong are Poolong Tom planning 1:02:01.653 --> 1:02:04.653 of a city. City has grown too quickly, Traffic doesn't flow. 1:02:04.733 --> 1:02:07.813 Gary Totong has screwed one hour minimum drive every morning 1:02:07.813 --> 1:02:10.693 to drive six k's dropping kids off at two different schools. 1:02:10.693 --> 1:02:14.573 No wonder the roller won't live here, Marcus. Now that 1:02:14.893 --> 1:02:17.453 tot Long as a pography haphas of development. An absence 1:02:17.493 --> 1:02:24.573 of functioning public transport makes sensible roading impossible. Marcus, I've 1:02:24.573 --> 1:02:27.453 been tot On the large part of my life. The infrastructure, 1:02:27.573 --> 1:02:30.933 especially roads, didn't grow fast enough compared to population, so 1:02:31.053 --> 1:02:34.893 much red tape. Remember the councilor has now been run 1:02:34.933 --> 1:02:37.413 by a commissioner, was run by commissioner and Tolly for 1:02:37.453 --> 1:02:40.413 about four years. She didn't do anything to improve roading. 1:02:41.573 --> 1:02:44.493 Drivers of tot Long were just bad drivers, regardless of roads. 1:02:44.493 --> 1:02:48.373 They can't use indicators especially. I don't think that's particular 1:02:48.413 --> 1:02:50.693 to Totong. I think there's no shortage of people that 1:02:50.733 --> 1:02:57.013 they can't use their indicators, Marcus during congestion. Roundabouts should 1:02:57.053 --> 1:03:01.533 be emerge, one goes past, one goes in. Oh, that's 1:03:01.613 --> 1:03:06.173 not a bad idea. Could we change roundabouts? So actually, 1:03:08.813 --> 1:03:15.413 I think when roundabouts first were invented, on the roundabout, 1:03:15.493 --> 1:03:19.093 you give way the drivers coming into it. I think 1:03:19.093 --> 1:03:22.853 that's the way it worked. Vaughn AT's Marcus, welcome. 1:03:24.413 --> 1:03:28.573 Marcus, here you go, good, thank you, Vaughn. Yeah, that's 1:03:28.853 --> 1:03:31.213 roundabout and totong. And that's caused a bit of a 1:03:31.253 --> 1:03:32.613 hornet's nest and I stirred it up. 1:03:35.493 --> 1:03:38.213 Well, that seems it seems they've spen forever teaching people 1:03:38.213 --> 1:03:40.653 how to use it, and now they've changed it because 1:03:40.653 --> 1:03:41.933 there's the more next to it, they're going have to 1:03:42.013 --> 1:03:44.493 kind of retrain people. 1:03:46.173 --> 1:03:49.053 Yeah, but I mean, you know, you have you trained monkeys. Hey, yeah? 1:03:49.253 --> 1:03:51.413 But you know when you've got a sign that says 1:03:52.133 --> 1:03:54.213 center lane, no right to what do you reckon? 1:03:54.293 --> 1:03:58.533 That means okay, can you see this? Can you see 1:03:58.533 --> 1:03:59.013 the sign? 1:04:00.133 --> 1:04:00.613 Oh? Mate? 1:04:00.693 --> 1:04:03.413 Yeah, look it could be better. Well, grant you there, 1:04:03.573 --> 1:04:06.293 you know, but there is pretty clear signage you know, 1:04:06.413 --> 1:04:08.613 I take a truck and trailer through there every day, 1:04:08.813 --> 1:04:11.933 and yeah, to change people would have saying, look, I 1:04:12.013 --> 1:04:14.413 had to go around twice, so we'll go around a 1:04:14.413 --> 1:04:16.653 third time, packing up and walk right, because that's what 1:04:16.653 --> 1:04:17.413 you should be doing. 1:04:17.693 --> 1:04:17.933 Are you? 1:04:18.493 --> 1:04:20.453 Are you into city? Where is all? You're driving around 1:04:20.653 --> 1:04:22.493 around in Totna? 1:04:23.293 --> 1:04:24.253 No, I'm line Hall. 1:04:24.333 --> 1:04:26.053 So I'm up in Auckland now just going through all 1:04:26.093 --> 1:04:28.693 this weather which is lovely heading back to tot On. 1:04:28.773 --> 1:04:31.933 And now how much whill you get there? How much 1:04:31.973 --> 1:04:35.373 of a shamozzle? How much time do you waste trying 1:04:35.373 --> 1:04:38.933 to just get through the urban part of that city? 1:04:40.373 --> 1:04:40.493 Oh? 1:04:40.613 --> 1:04:41.213 Look, we go. 1:04:41.253 --> 1:04:44.413 From tar Ricos pet Mara. When we started a run 1:04:44.453 --> 1:04:48.933 at four o'clock and what should take should take about 1:04:48.933 --> 1:04:51.453 twenty minutes, could take anything up to half to three 1:04:51.533 --> 1:04:53.973 quarters of an hour on a bed day. Coming back 1:04:54.413 --> 1:04:57.333 we leave gone. 1:04:57.573 --> 1:05:01.453 That's four pm, yep. And coming back. 1:05:01.413 --> 1:05:03.853 It's already sort of yeah to coming back, we leave 1:05:03.973 --> 1:05:07.573 pet Bar at five and it should take us about 1:05:07.573 --> 1:05:09.653 half an hour, but you know, you get a bit 1:05:09.693 --> 1:05:11.693 of a bad run, it can be forty five minutes. 1:05:13.093 --> 1:05:13.293 You know. 1:05:13.373 --> 1:05:16.373 It's ye, traffic's a shop and there's no doubt about it. 1:05:16.453 --> 1:05:19.173 But okay, so you'll so you're what you're wasting an 1:05:19.173 --> 1:05:21.453 hour in your track because of an efficient roading. 1:05:23.573 --> 1:05:26.133 Ah, I would say we're probably wasting a good half 1:05:26.173 --> 1:05:28.733 an hour because of the I mean there's distance involved 1:05:28.733 --> 1:05:30.253 and that's so. Look it is what it is, but 1:05:31.373 --> 1:05:33.693 you know, yeah, it's but a lot of it is 1:05:33.733 --> 1:05:36.293 just people just can't drive. We need to get over 1:05:36.373 --> 1:05:39.813 ourselves and realize we're actually bed drivers in New Zealand. 1:05:39.973 --> 1:05:41.173 Yeah, we really are. 1:05:41.493 --> 1:05:43.533 Yeah, well I wouldn't disagree with that. 1:05:45.213 --> 1:05:48.173 You know, when when you've got a roundabout and there's 1:05:48.173 --> 1:05:50.733 a yeah, they've made a change, but people have to 1:05:50.773 --> 1:05:53.533 go around twice or three times, then they need to 1:05:53.573 --> 1:05:54.413 pay more attention. 1:05:54.533 --> 1:05:54.733 You know. 1:05:54.773 --> 1:05:57.253 It's like there's people that are saying, oh, crackey, I'm 1:05:57.253 --> 1:06:00.173 going to shop somewhere else, So great idea, try Hamilton. 1:06:00.253 --> 1:06:04.213 You don't get out of out here just you know, 1:06:04.333 --> 1:06:07.733 I mean it's confusing and yeah, that's right, but it's 1:06:07.853 --> 1:06:10.333 just pay attention. WA's what you're doing. There's a sign 1:06:10.373 --> 1:06:12.893 that shows what it is. The science says, you know, 1:06:12.933 --> 1:06:15.693 there's actually a couple of lanes of heaven change and 1:06:15.813 --> 1:06:18.413 people are still complaining about that. It's like, for goodness, 1:06:18.533 --> 1:06:22.053 eight people. You know, you just concentrate on what you're doing. 1:06:22.613 --> 1:06:24.893 And you know, I got halfway around the roundabout and 1:06:24.893 --> 1:06:29.533 all these the lane delineators there, it's like, well it's 1:06:29.533 --> 1:06:31.293 a big science saying road when it's what were you 1:06:31.293 --> 1:06:35.693 going to expect? You know, Yeah, it's not handling the 1:06:35.733 --> 1:06:39.253 volume the traffic traffic organizers that ain't need a bullet, 1:06:39.253 --> 1:06:41.733 I'll tell you, but you know it's not handling the volume. 1:06:41.733 --> 1:06:44.933 One lane can't handle enough cars per hour, as simple 1:06:44.973 --> 1:06:47.573 as that. Surely there's mats that says one lane can 1:06:47.613 --> 1:06:49.213 handle ex number of cars per hour. 1:06:51.213 --> 1:06:53.493 It's a pretty basic calculation, isn't it. You think there'd 1:06:53.493 --> 1:06:56.373 be one O one roading. We've got this capacity. If 1:06:56.413 --> 1:06:58.613 it's more cars than that, we're going to do something else. 1:06:59.013 --> 1:07:00.453 How bad's the weather at the moment? 1:07:02.133 --> 1:07:05.013 At the moment, it's pretty good. Actually, I came up 1:07:05.653 --> 1:07:08.093 so here it's the airport at at the airport at 1:07:08.173 --> 1:07:12.813 nine and it was torrential, but it's it's buttoned off. 1:07:12.853 --> 1:07:15.053 It's only there's only just splitting now the work's on 1:07:15.093 --> 1:07:17.253 Intobdon but it's so it's going to pack it in 1:07:17.373 --> 1:07:19.973 again told we know a couple of guys on the 1:07:19.973 --> 1:07:21.093 CV it's not good. 1:07:21.173 --> 1:07:24.093 So yes, it is what it does great report. 1:07:24.093 --> 1:07:26.333 Appreciate that, Von, Thank you, Laurie Marcus welcome. 1:07:27.773 --> 1:07:30.773 Yeah, hi Marcus. Yeah he's funny. Just when you think 1:07:30.813 --> 1:07:35.733 that the road planners have exhausted themselves a roundabouts and stuff. 1:07:35.733 --> 1:07:38.013 I mean in Parmi it was used to be wonderful, 1:07:38.613 --> 1:07:41.653 very easy place to get around. But one of the 1:07:41.653 --> 1:07:43.973 main streets the planners come up with this idea of 1:07:44.173 --> 1:07:48.813 sticking bus stops and traffic lanes and sis Fetherss Street. 1:07:50.053 --> 1:07:55.853 It's been a great consternation. But yeah, hey, on the 1:07:55.893 --> 1:08:01.453 old window frost, we just use a you know, you 1:08:01.533 --> 1:08:04.333 buy frost cloth off a roll about the width of 1:08:04.333 --> 1:08:06.853 your car and put that over the and we're going 1:08:06.933 --> 1:08:14.773 to some magnets and just you need four magnets. No, 1:08:15.173 --> 1:08:24.773 the magnets. Actually I deconstructed a microwave, but that very 1:08:24.893 --> 1:08:27.693 very strong magneture. But you probably cleaner. You get some 1:08:27.693 --> 1:08:30.173 small ones. But these magnets we just leave there stuck 1:08:30.213 --> 1:08:31.613 on the wall of the shed, just by way with 1:08:31.613 --> 1:08:34.013 the carreras. So you can just flop the old frost 1:08:34.013 --> 1:08:35.053 cloth over, so you. 1:08:35.013 --> 1:08:36.933 Put it on the outside, and these magnets hold it 1:08:36.973 --> 1:08:38.613 on the inside of the outside, Is that right? 1:08:39.253 --> 1:08:41.493 Magnets hold it just you know, on on the door pillars. 1:08:41.493 --> 1:08:43.613 Basically, you understand. 1:08:45.213 --> 1:08:47.133 Otherwise you've got to fold it inside the door and 1:08:47.133 --> 1:08:49.853 close the door on it, if you know, you want 1:08:49.893 --> 1:08:52.133 to keep it there in the wind. But that sort 1:08:52.133 --> 1:08:55.013 of cloth, it doesn't sort of absorb much water, you know, 1:08:55.053 --> 1:08:56.453 it's very easy to you can just. 1:08:57.693 --> 1:08:58.253 Is it white? 1:08:58.373 --> 1:09:00.893 Is it like from te No, No, it's a black 1:09:01.693 --> 1:09:06.013 or that you know, sort of a that's well off, 1:09:06.853 --> 1:09:10.413 a very dark gray, I suppose, and reasonably rereadomly porous, 1:09:10.893 --> 1:09:12.093 quite cheap, very very light. 1:09:12.813 --> 1:09:14.733 Is it from like a super chip cash shop, like 1:09:14.773 --> 1:09:15.373 a might of teen? 1:09:16.573 --> 1:09:18.413 Well, no, that's frost class. You buy it from the 1:09:18.573 --> 1:09:23.213 garden centers. Yeah, you look it over the plants aft 1:09:23.493 --> 1:09:26.893 if you go to super Cheap Auto. The I mean 1:09:26.893 --> 1:09:30.173 they've got the old c C the ice aerosolt can 1:09:30.373 --> 1:09:34.453 five dollars, amaze me. The buzz bugs one I've got 1:09:34.493 --> 1:09:37.133 the five hundred. I mean theirs is about eighteen bugs. 1:09:38.773 --> 1:09:41.493 But the old I haven't used to have to use 1:09:41.533 --> 1:09:44.213 the iSER so much in New Zealand. I've used it overseas. 1:09:44.213 --> 1:09:47.613 But now I find that, you know, the frost is 1:09:47.653 --> 1:09:50.013 a really good solution, and pretty quick. 1:09:50.493 --> 1:09:51.733 You're going to have to find the weather to know 1:09:51.773 --> 1:09:53.373 it's going to be frosted. I have no idea a 1:09:53.413 --> 1:09:53.973 lot of the time. 1:09:54.853 --> 1:09:57.493 Yeah, well it's just you know, the night it gets 1:09:57.573 --> 1:10:03.133 quite crisp, you know about it. If you it's I 1:10:03.213 --> 1:10:04.813 realized you're not really organized. 1:10:05.013 --> 1:10:08.813 So sometimes to be really to be really on the story. 1:10:08.853 --> 1:10:11.333 Sometimes I'll leave work and I'll be frosted up, so 1:10:11.373 --> 1:10:13.013 it'll be middy. But I'm quite happy to sit in 1:10:13.093 --> 1:10:14.653 my car for five minutes they have a look on 1:10:14.733 --> 1:10:16.973 what's sending around the world and just you know, because 1:10:17.173 --> 1:10:19.653 if I get home at half past twelve or twelve 1:10:19.733 --> 1:10:22.573 forty doesn't really make much difference to me. So but yeah, 1:10:22.613 --> 1:10:25.133 but sometimes it's just starting to form about midnight, and 1:10:25.293 --> 1:10:27.293 really sometimes it's really thick. 1:10:28.293 --> 1:10:31.453 Yeah, yeah, so funny. We've just got a new watch. 1:10:31.813 --> 1:10:33.853 It's a new second hand Honda Jairs, but they've got 1:10:33.893 --> 1:10:37.013 a messive front window on the may just takes an 1:10:37.013 --> 1:10:39.493 almost long time to properly clear. You know, if you 1:10:39.853 --> 1:10:42.013 do get frost on it and you haven't had something 1:10:42.893 --> 1:10:45.013 even with the old eater on four but. 1:10:45.733 --> 1:10:48.093 Either the jairs or no good looks. All right, that's 1:10:48.093 --> 1:10:50.013 a little bit the same little car run around cheap 1:10:50.053 --> 1:10:50.973 on the guests, I suppose. 1:10:51.693 --> 1:10:54.293 Yeah, yeah, we got it. Well, we bought the sound 1:10:54.333 --> 1:10:58.533 of a good deal of somebody too old or I 1:10:58.573 --> 1:11:00.093 couldn't get that renew their license. 1:11:00.213 --> 1:11:03.773 So oh buyers dark Yeah. 1:11:03.853 --> 1:11:07.213 Yeah, and it's twenty nineteen, but it's only got twenty 1:11:07.253 --> 1:11:11.493 thousand k on it now. But first came first carave 1:11:11.533 --> 1:11:14.333 ever had that. You can't actually put a towbar on. Hey, 1:11:15.613 --> 1:11:19.013 you know, it's not structurally strong in that area. Really, 1:11:19.813 --> 1:11:21.373 I think the earlier jazz as he could. 1:11:21.453 --> 1:11:23.533 But how does that conversation go? 1:11:24.613 --> 1:11:27.573 Well, I didn't really think about it when we bought it. 1:11:29.093 --> 1:11:33.213 Did you did you go to automobile place? 1:11:34.693 --> 1:11:34.733 No? 1:11:34.933 --> 1:11:37.653 No, No, this is we bought the vehicle through you 1:11:37.693 --> 1:11:38.693 know for some people. 1:11:38.453 --> 1:11:41.093 We know, Yeah, did you go and try and get 1:11:41.133 --> 1:11:41.853 a towbar on it? 1:11:43.213 --> 1:11:43.253 No? 1:11:43.333 --> 1:11:46.573 Well it's in the in the handbook, oh wow, yeah, 1:11:47.653 --> 1:11:52.213 and quite bold print. Yeah, and I checked with somebody 1:11:52.213 --> 1:11:56.213 else that's got one. And in fact they had an 1:11:56.293 --> 1:11:58.933 earlier version that it did ever towbar on. They loved 1:11:58.973 --> 1:12:00.573 the jazz and it's not going to get another one. 1:12:01.533 --> 1:12:03.333 But I did ask the agent, you know about the 1:12:03.413 --> 1:12:06.973 Toba business. There's no way, you know, just it's some so. 1:12:08.573 --> 1:12:09.333 Yeah, well it's just. 1:12:09.333 --> 1:12:11.853 Something that's you know, you suddenly think something you've always 1:12:11.893 --> 1:12:16.213 been used to with a car. I can always remember 1:12:16.613 --> 1:12:19.613 the last vehicle around, you know, which that had a 1:12:19.653 --> 1:12:22.373 crank handle that ever had anything to do with and 1:12:24.373 --> 1:12:27.253 which was always a good sister have you know on 1:12:27.373 --> 1:12:31.173 frosty warnings if you couldn't start the car, but Spence, 1:12:31.253 --> 1:12:33.813 it was a larder. My sister had a larder that 1:12:33.893 --> 1:12:36.213 had a crank handle it. But that was the very 1:12:36.293 --> 1:12:37.773 last ones I think never ever had it. 1:12:38.213 --> 1:12:40.693 What you had the crank handles go out early seventies. 1:12:41.413 --> 1:12:44.653 Yeah, yeah, it would be. I guess I've never cracked 1:12:44.693 --> 1:12:44.933 a car. 1:12:45.093 --> 1:12:45.613 I don't think. 1:12:46.413 --> 1:12:48.613 Yeah, no, it's it used to be a very common 1:12:48.653 --> 1:12:51.373 thing to do. You just had to watch where you 1:12:51.453 --> 1:12:52.933 put your thumb on the you know, like if they 1:12:53.013 --> 1:12:53.493 kicked back. 1:12:53.653 --> 1:12:55.413 You know, oh, I can imagine they could be all 1:12:55.453 --> 1:12:57.813 sort of that. You'd leave the cat crank handle on 1:12:57.853 --> 1:13:00.053 the bonnet. You'd found where did the where did the 1:13:00.093 --> 1:13:00.933 crank handle live? 1:13:01.613 --> 1:13:02.373 Well, you fitted it. 1:13:04.413 --> 1:13:04.693 Would you. 1:13:04.773 --> 1:13:08.293 Usually it was clicked in on the body somewhere, or 1:13:08.453 --> 1:13:10.053 in the back, in the bladder. I think it was 1:13:10.093 --> 1:13:13.013 in you sort of headed in the boot, but and 1:13:13.133 --> 1:13:17.413 then there was a whole in the usually the the 1:13:17.493 --> 1:13:19.413 bumper or come the bumper. 1:13:19.813 --> 1:13:21.413 I think it'd be quite a satisfying thing to do, 1:13:21.573 --> 1:13:22.933 is to crank a crank a car. 1:13:23.773 --> 1:13:27.213 Yeah, yeah, well that was a very cold start for 1:13:27.253 --> 1:13:28.573 a lot of people. You know, when the battery is 1:13:28.613 --> 1:13:31.053 getting a bit flat, it was just turn over. 1:13:31.253 --> 1:13:31.773 Yeah, but. 1:13:34.213 --> 1:13:35.973 The road I suppose for a while there were people 1:13:36.013 --> 1:13:37.773 that wouldn't buy a car without a crank. Cannle I 1:13:38.133 --> 1:13:39.173 didn't trust today. 1:13:40.853 --> 1:13:43.693 Get well, this is the thing. Now you've got to 1:13:43.733 --> 1:13:45.213 think about a car that you can there's no way 1:13:45.253 --> 1:13:47.773 you allowed to put a Toba on it's. 1:13:48.213 --> 1:13:50.053 Has he got a speed Has he got a speed tar? 1:13:50.093 --> 1:13:52.493 A lot of them have speed tis now No, well. 1:13:52.413 --> 1:13:55.973 This one does because it's a it's a petrol version 1:13:56.013 --> 1:13:58.653 of it. But no, the hybrid, which is the latest 1:13:58.773 --> 1:14:02.493 Jazz that that doesn't have it doesn't have a spare 1:14:03.013 --> 1:14:04.453 And a friend of mine's got one and he got 1:14:04.533 --> 1:14:06.133 caught out a couple of weeks ago. 1:14:06.973 --> 1:14:09.373 Yeah, it's been a great conversation. Start a few of 1:14:09.413 --> 1:14:12.013 your jazz there regard that could just spend on the 1:14:12.093 --> 1:14:15.933 microwave for as magnets. I thought you could probably find something. 1:14:18.253 --> 1:14:21.613 Someone says, the hound of jazz has a CVT transmission. 1:14:22.093 --> 1:14:24.293 Never put a toe bar on a vehicle with CVT 1:14:24.493 --> 1:14:27.373 four thousand dollars rebuild what CVT? Would that not be 1:14:27.493 --> 1:14:28.253 up for it or something? 1:14:29.213 --> 1:14:32.893 I guess I thought that it wasn't the transmission issue. 1:14:32.893 --> 1:14:34.053 I thought it was to do with this. You know, 1:14:34.093 --> 1:14:37.253 you had the body. It was the strength of the. 1:14:39.053 --> 1:14:40.853 That's a contiguously variable transmission. 1:14:40.893 --> 1:14:47.653 Okay, okay, okay, yeah, okay, well it's yeah, so you're 1:14:47.653 --> 1:14:48.533 getting you're getting. 1:14:48.333 --> 1:14:50.773 Fuel efficiency with that. But yeah, what did you want 1:14:50.813 --> 1:14:51.613 to tell your kayak? 1:14:52.693 --> 1:14:55.853 No, well, just not just a trailer with some rubbish 1:14:55.853 --> 1:14:57.573 and stuff. You know, in the kayaks usually go on 1:14:58.133 --> 1:15:01.573 the roof wreck. That's most of my daughters. He's got 1:15:01.653 --> 1:15:05.613 a ute for that sort of stuff. Yeah, yeah, Actually, 1:15:05.613 --> 1:15:08.133 she just back from Tahiti a couple of days ago. 1:15:08.293 --> 1:15:14.213 She won the race up up there, nearly two thousand 1:15:14.253 --> 1:15:17.693 dollars worth of This is a sort of masters woman. 1:15:18.253 --> 1:15:21.413 Like walk walk with an outrigger or a single. 1:15:22.693 --> 1:15:27.293 With an outrigger and rudderless. Yeah, it's all rudderless and Tahiti. Yeah, 1:15:27.333 --> 1:15:30.893 so it's you've got to be better at it. 1:15:31.373 --> 1:15:32.853 And right around an island or something. 1:15:32.973 --> 1:15:33.493 Was it like a. 1:15:35.413 --> 1:15:37.293 Course off of Maria? 1:15:37.333 --> 1:15:37.853 I guess it was. 1:15:38.373 --> 1:15:40.373 I think Yeah. I mean it was a hell of 1:15:40.413 --> 1:15:42.213 a big event. There's about nine hundred people, you know, 1:15:42.573 --> 1:15:47.133 in different classes. But and it's it's the biggest professional 1:15:47.173 --> 1:15:51.093 sport in Tahiti. It's you know, quite a league. You know, 1:15:51.213 --> 1:15:52.973 the men's prizes are pretty high. 1:15:53.453 --> 1:15:54.013 Is she is? 1:15:54.093 --> 1:15:54.573 She is? 1:15:54.653 --> 1:15:57.853 She kneeling and no, no, it's walker. 1:15:58.013 --> 1:16:00.173 So it's sort of you're sitting down, you know, it'skind 1:16:00.213 --> 1:16:00.733 of out rugger. 1:16:01.413 --> 1:16:04.253 Yeah, yeah, I just flashbacks of that terrible Olympics when 1:16:04.253 --> 1:16:06.653 they're that rowing standing up. I never really we had 1:16:06.693 --> 1:16:08.453 to put people there standing up, roaring and it made 1:16:08.533 --> 1:16:08.973 no sense. 1:16:09.773 --> 1:16:11.493 Yeah you have. 1:16:11.853 --> 1:16:13.173 There is a version of that that. 1:16:14.893 --> 1:16:15.173 Canoe. 1:16:15.253 --> 1:16:15.373 Now. 1:16:15.493 --> 1:16:19.533 Yeah, no she doesn't. She has done it, but she doesn't. 1:16:19.693 --> 1:16:20.493 It's not her choice. 1:16:20.573 --> 1:16:23.933 Yeah, did she did she take her her out rigged 1:16:24.013 --> 1:16:25.613 up where she gets one when she's there? 1:16:26.053 --> 1:16:26.093 No? 1:16:26.253 --> 1:16:29.213 No, she one. Most clubs provided went up here. 1:16:29.453 --> 1:16:32.173 She was invited up that would be fairing around if 1:16:32.173 --> 1:16:33.573 you had to take your own vehicle, wouldn't it. 1:16:34.173 --> 1:16:36.733 Yeah, but just amazing. And I when see some of 1:16:36.773 --> 1:16:38.813 the shots, I mean because they race, you know, kids 1:16:38.933 --> 1:16:40.813 right down the five year olds are sort of right 1:16:40.893 --> 1:16:45.293 through to the scene as it's just a mess of 1:16:45.413 --> 1:16:51.693 sight sight to see sort of something like nine hundred buddy, Yeah. 1:16:52.053 --> 1:16:53.973 Nice to talk blurry, Thanks so much for it. Someone said, 1:16:54.213 --> 1:16:58.373 lots of cars with CV treated CVT transmission of towbars. 1:16:58.413 --> 1:17:03.573 So already this controversy there. It's really raining. Oh my god, 1:17:03.653 --> 1:17:07.813 tongue has been for the last three hours. Marcus during 1:17:07.853 --> 1:17:10.693 cogestion round about talking about total Now, what's the solution 1:17:10.813 --> 1:17:15.653 that I reckon? People walking from home, working from home, 1:17:17.213 --> 1:17:20.933 probably buying less, people buying rubbish from the malls. I 1:17:21.013 --> 1:17:23.173 was parking outside of fruit shop today. Next to the 1:17:23.213 --> 1:17:24.533 fruit shop is one of those. 1:17:26.733 --> 1:17:27.293 It's like a. 1:17:32.133 --> 1:17:40.133 It's like a the word is not at market, but 1:17:40.253 --> 1:17:46.293 it's like a more complicated two dollars shop. I was 1:17:46.333 --> 1:17:47.773 looking in the window and I don't want to be 1:17:47.853 --> 1:17:50.653 judgement love. I thought, I thought a lot of things. 1:17:50.693 --> 1:17:59.373 I thought, what a lot of rubbish. Most of it 1:17:59.493 --> 1:18:05.293 was like giant plastic display swords and stuff. And I 1:18:05.333 --> 1:18:07.053 looked and I thought, I bitch, I just could not 1:18:07.213 --> 1:18:15.253 work out what function that shop performed because none of 1:18:15.293 --> 1:18:18.733 it was useful stuff. I guess it was just ornamental. 1:18:20.053 --> 1:18:21.653 And I looked at that window and I just thought, 1:18:21.813 --> 1:18:25.973 what are people buying? And I thought, well, what does 1:18:26.013 --> 1:18:27.693 this do to the economy. I've got no idea. What 1:18:28.173 --> 1:18:31.613 you know, well that it must be a pretty miserable 1:18:31.653 --> 1:18:35.493 shop to working, because all those shops just smell to 1:18:35.573 --> 1:18:37.573 high heavens of chemicals that the things are made in. 1:18:37.693 --> 1:18:40.613 But anyway, why am I telling you this. I've got 1:18:40.653 --> 1:18:44.613 no idea. I got to shoot with someone. But yeah, 1:18:44.613 --> 1:18:51.693 it just sort of weird. I guess it's not no 1:18:51.813 --> 1:18:56.333 different from TMO, I suppose, but yeah, I looked at 1:18:56.373 --> 1:19:00.733 and I thought, wow, anyway, it wasn't even like stationary. 1:19:00.773 --> 1:19:08.373 It was just like weird ornamental stuff. I'll tell you 1:19:08.373 --> 1:19:09.893 what the shop was called, because I looked and looked 1:19:09.893 --> 1:19:11.373 and looked at it. It was a mad butcheres for 1:19:11.413 --> 1:19:14.853 a long time, but that couldn't work, but this maybe 1:19:14.893 --> 1:19:18.533 shop will work. And there was a half priced sale. 1:19:18.573 --> 1:19:22.933 I thought, wow, anyway, some emails all the roads and 1:19:23.013 --> 1:19:25.053 totong a go from two lanes to one, back to 1:19:25.093 --> 1:19:27.933 two lanes, back to one. I drive all around totong 1:19:27.973 --> 1:19:30.773 of Friday's worst day to drive. They built too many 1:19:30.853 --> 1:19:34.653 houses for the roads. The problem is the volumes of cars. 1:19:37.053 --> 1:19:39.933 Meredith absolutely bucking down in West Auk and now after steavy, 1:19:39.973 --> 1:19:43.333 heavy rain, it has just picked up around ten oh 1:19:43.453 --> 1:19:46.453 five and boys a loud. There will be surfers, flooding 1:19:46.453 --> 1:19:49.493 and more out there, So drive carefully, Flokes. If anyone 1:19:49.613 --> 1:19:51.173 is out there and it's got any reports of flooding 1:19:51.173 --> 1:19:52.733 around the buses or anything like that, that would be 1:19:52.773 --> 1:19:58.693 of interest to me. Marcus. Some shops that sell junk 1:19:58.933 --> 1:20:02.213 money laundries, well you look at the stuff and this 1:20:02.293 --> 1:20:13.813 shot you think cheapest creepers, Marcus. Honda Jazz hybrid cannot 1:20:13.893 --> 1:20:16.613 fit tob out to these cars as batteries are under 1:20:16.653 --> 1:20:20.613 the boot floor. Also, there is no speed tire for 1:20:20.693 --> 1:20:23.453 the same reason. I think Laurie said his wasn't a hybrid, 1:20:23.533 --> 1:20:25.973 but I don't know why. He kind of a towbar. 1:20:28.213 --> 1:20:29.773 I don't feel bad. Don't have a good toba and 1:20:29.773 --> 1:20:33.413 normally your bike's gone that don't they That's where your 1:20:33.493 --> 1:20:36.213 bike carrier goes. Also, the other time we can talk 1:20:36.253 --> 1:20:37.813 about that is crank handled cars. 1:20:38.893 --> 1:20:39.813 Yeah, I would. Yeah. 1:20:40.333 --> 1:20:41.653 I think our car we had from that with a 1:20:41.693 --> 1:20:44.813 crank handle must have been from the late sixties. Didn't 1:20:44.853 --> 1:20:46.373 need it often, but it was always kind of a 1:20:46.413 --> 1:20:50.693 bit of theater. I quite liked it. It was exciting 1:20:50.733 --> 1:20:57.613 when it went too I mean, yeah, I don't know why. Yeah, 1:20:57.693 --> 1:21:02.573 well maybe it's not I guess he's not the demand 1:21:02.613 --> 1:21:05.253 for them now with batteries. Tony Marcus, welcome. 1:21:06.573 --> 1:21:11.133 Thanks Marcus. My first car was a nineteen thirty seven 1:21:12.133 --> 1:21:17.653 Chef coupe and the damn heavy motor. You couldn't You 1:21:17.693 --> 1:21:19.733 couldn't start on the battery because it was only a 1:21:19.773 --> 1:21:22.893 six fold battery in those days. And I get my 1:21:22.973 --> 1:21:26.093 mates come around and put the handle in and turn 1:21:26.133 --> 1:21:28.853 it at the same time as I pushed the start button, 1:21:29.573 --> 1:21:33.573 and I would slowly wind up and get the motor go, 1:21:33.693 --> 1:21:37.173 and you'd whip the crank handle out. But the key 1:21:37.493 --> 1:21:40.133 part about cranking it was that if you put your 1:21:40.173 --> 1:21:42.413 thumb on the other side from where your fingers were, 1:21:43.133 --> 1:21:45.893 they would often kick back and break your thumb, so 1:21:46.093 --> 1:21:50.493 you had to be careful. You'd very careful your thumb 1:21:50.533 --> 1:21:54.173 and your fingers were aligned, otherwise you're eat up a cripple. 1:21:55.373 --> 1:21:57.893 And the Vasa got sick of that car, and I 1:21:58.053 --> 1:22:02.133 sold it, and I bought a nineteen fifty two Prefect, 1:22:02.853 --> 1:22:05.213 and I thought that my problems are sold. Now with 1:22:05.293 --> 1:22:08.373 the fourth son, the car more modern, this will start 1:22:08.453 --> 1:22:11.013 every time. It did through the summer, but come in 1:22:11.093 --> 1:22:14.453 the winter the cold seeped into it, and again there 1:22:14.533 --> 1:22:18.093 was a crank handle job, and it was every morning, 1:22:18.173 --> 1:22:21.493 and even got that desperate that I put carpet on 1:22:21.573 --> 1:22:23.973 the on the roads and those days packed on the road, 1:22:24.293 --> 1:22:26.973 piece of carpet on the road underneath the car and 1:22:27.093 --> 1:22:28.733 a sack over the top of the motor to try 1:22:28.773 --> 1:22:32.133 and stop them moist chicking up and making everything wet 1:22:32.173 --> 1:22:34.493 and making it hard to start. There was always a 1:22:34.573 --> 1:22:37.173 crank handle start and never it never fall In the winter, 1:22:37.933 --> 1:22:41.013 I went that, I went to it out there, got 1:22:41.093 --> 1:22:43.773 on the crank handle, spart over over and over and 1:22:43.853 --> 1:22:45.933 over and over, and eventually you started and I was away. 1:22:46.333 --> 1:22:49.413 But that crank handle was an important part of my 1:22:49.573 --> 1:22:50.613 upbringing with cars. 1:22:51.533 --> 1:22:54.973 So with you, Tony, with your thirty seven Sevrolet Cope. 1:22:55.613 --> 1:22:59.373 So if you're going out to do messages, you only 1:22:59.493 --> 1:23:01.133 just need to crank it at the beginning of the day. 1:23:01.613 --> 1:23:04.133 Afterwards the engine was warm up. If you went for 1:23:04.173 --> 1:23:06.333 a break for ten minutes too, start straight away again. 1:23:06.453 --> 1:23:11.413 Would It's an interesting thing about that car was the 1:23:11.493 --> 1:23:15.253 starter button. It's not like today's modern cars were you 1:23:15.333 --> 1:23:18.493 either turn the key or push a button. The actually 1:23:18.533 --> 1:23:20.693 had a button on the floor between the brake and 1:23:20.893 --> 1:23:24.533 the and the clutch, and you pushed it with your 1:23:24.573 --> 1:23:25.413 foot to start it. 1:23:26.973 --> 1:23:28.493 But you don't need to crank it once. Today you 1:23:28.533 --> 1:23:30.213 wouldn't need to crank it when you turn the engine 1:23:30.253 --> 1:23:33.293 off and after a short stop it would you just 1:23:33.373 --> 1:23:35.253 have to crank it the first time of the day, right. 1:23:36.213 --> 1:23:38.173 Yeah, that's right. It's only where it was cold or damn, 1:23:38.493 --> 1:23:38.853 that's right. 1:23:39.653 --> 1:23:43.013 Yell and tell me how the how your thumb would 1:23:43.013 --> 1:23:43.813 get broken. 1:23:45.413 --> 1:23:47.213 If you put your thumb on the other side of 1:23:47.293 --> 1:23:50.053 the crank handle to your fingers. In other words, you 1:23:50.213 --> 1:23:53.133 script it as you would normally grop a hammer. For example, 1:23:53.813 --> 1:23:57.053 the motor would kick back off and say it straight away, 1:23:57.653 --> 1:23:59.413 and the motor would kick back and the crank would 1:23:59.453 --> 1:24:02.693 turn the opposite direction you're trying to push it in 1:24:03.933 --> 1:24:04.533 break your thumb. 1:24:04.853 --> 1:24:06.253 So where would you put your thumb. 1:24:07.813 --> 1:24:09.933 You put it in the same position as your fingers, 1:24:10.453 --> 1:24:13.173 so you grip if you're putting your hand on the 1:24:13.613 --> 1:24:16.133 top of the table, we just script it with your 1:24:16.173 --> 1:24:17.333 summon your fingers together. 1:24:18.693 --> 1:24:22.813 Understand. I'm doing that myself as I'm talking at yes, 1:24:22.853 --> 1:24:24.653 so I can see okay, yeah, okay. So that's a 1:24:24.693 --> 1:24:26.853 bit of that's a bit of learning required, Tony. I 1:24:26.893 --> 1:24:29.053 appreciate that. Thank you very much for that. Ten away 1:24:29.093 --> 1:24:32.293 from eleven Marcus. We have two main highways of traffic 1:24:32.333 --> 1:24:34.613 coming to Totonga from the north with jets to our 1:24:34.613 --> 1:24:37.853 traffic wore. These people might be driving I don't and 1:24:37.973 --> 1:24:40.613 Gisbon from up north and don't live in Totonger.

All small cars should 1:25:01.053 --> 1:25:03.293 have a towbar because they don't have the strong enough 1:25:03.373 --> 1:25:07.253 breaks to stop a freeloaded trailer.

The cars 1:27:03.213 --> 1:27:05.813 in the sixties and the early seventies had cranks, didn't. 1:27:05.533 --> 1:27:11.093 They Then about the seventies, someone would I wouldn't. 1:27:11.093 --> 1:27:13.253 I wouldn't mind it more emphatic kind of an answer 1:27:13.293 --> 1:27:13.453 to that. 1:27:13.573 --> 1:27:18.213 Actually, yeah, my ostin eleven hundred, that definitely wasn't the crank. 1:27:18.733 --> 1:27:21.533 What year would have that terrible car.

I 1:30:24.573 --> 1:30:28.173 don't know him, but who had the restaurant that makes Mistakes. 1:30:29.493 --> 1:30:31.573 And I thought he did an awful lot for people 1:30:31.693 --> 1:30:35.293 with dementia and they had lost their self esteem. And 1:30:35.413 --> 1:30:39.773 I'm surprised he wasn't in the King's Birthdays sort of recognition. 1:30:40.893 --> 1:30:42.653 Well maybe, of course, there's a lot of people that 1:30:42.853 --> 1:30:44.813 might get nominated, but they might tune them down. 1:30:46.853 --> 1:30:49.173 Yes, but I think a lot of I'd be interested 1:30:49.213 --> 1:30:51.333 to hear what some of the listeners thought, because he's 1:30:51.373 --> 1:30:54.893 done an awful lot of people with dementia. It was 1:30:55.013 --> 1:30:58.293 just a fantastic thing to give them their confidence. He 1:30:58.373 --> 1:31:01.413 had them working in the front desk and waiting on 1:31:01.573 --> 1:31:04.413 the tables. What a wonderful thing. We've got a lot 1:31:04.453 --> 1:31:07.173 of people with dementia, and I thought it was this 1:31:07.693 --> 1:31:09.013 marvelous thing that he did. 1:31:10.133 --> 1:31:13.653 Yeah, I I didn't catch any of it. It passed 1:31:13.693 --> 1:31:15.413 me by it, And I don't know if it will 1:31:15.413 --> 1:31:16.293 be something i'd watch. 1:31:17.573 --> 1:31:21.253 Oh, honestly, Marcus, it was wonderful and wonderful to see 1:31:21.293 --> 1:31:24.733 the way people got their people got this just to 1:31:24.853 --> 1:31:29.613 sept their confidence back. They enjoyed the company of people, 1:31:30.373 --> 1:31:33.733 and they did extremely well in the restaurant. And I thought, 1:31:33.893 --> 1:31:35.973 good on him. He's a chef. He didn't have to do. 1:31:36.573 --> 1:31:38.693 He's a good restaurant. I think he's got a restaurant 1:31:38.693 --> 1:31:41.133 in Auckland. I think that I've been too very good. 1:31:41.253 --> 1:31:44.133 Yes, And I thought i'd like to have seen him 1:31:44.613 --> 1:31:47.893 give him some sort of recognition in the King's Birthday honors. 1:31:48.333 --> 1:31:49.573 Yeah, okay, I'm sure. 1:31:49.373 --> 1:31:51.013 A lot of people will agree. 1:31:50.693 --> 1:31:51.293 With me on that. 1:31:51.733 --> 1:31:53.493 We'll see how they go, Geraldine, thank you. 1:31:55.093 --> 1:31:55.253 Yeah. 1:31:55.293 --> 1:31:56.813 I don't know if I've never heard people come saying 1:31:56.853 --> 1:31:58.773 this person should have got the honor. You've got to 1:31:58.853 --> 1:32:00.693 drive it yourself a lot these days with honors, don't you. 1:32:00.733 --> 1:32:03.173 Always seems people say they're surprised, but they'd be in 1:32:03.213 --> 1:32:05.693 the background, gonde of advocating for it, haven't they. So 1:32:05.693 --> 1:32:07.893 I always thinks about to fight about it all holly 1:32:07.973 --> 1:32:08.933 good evening. It's Marcus. 1:32:09.053 --> 1:32:14.453 Welcome, there are Marcus. Yeah, yeah, I think the last 1:32:14.533 --> 1:32:16.693 cars might have been late forties. 1:32:17.613 --> 1:32:19.253 There any more recent than that, wouldn't they? 1:32:20.213 --> 1:32:24.133 Oh, I don't know about that. They seemed to driving 1:32:24.253 --> 1:32:29.333 up a bit quicker, but I had to. Morris had 1:32:29.373 --> 1:32:33.093 the suicide doors on it and the tootled windshield at 1:32:33.133 --> 1:32:35.613 the front. It was a nice little girl. Nam bought 1:32:35.653 --> 1:32:38.573 it for my first job, you know, to get to work. 1:32:38.653 --> 1:32:42.133 But I learned how to be a mechanic pretty quick. 1:32:43.973 --> 1:32:45.813 I got to set the tools at the same time, 1:32:46.253 --> 1:32:48.733 and every weekend I was more less underneath it. And 1:32:50.053 --> 1:32:52.333 one day it wouldn't start, So I got the crank 1:32:52.413 --> 1:32:57.093 handlet and craking away in it. Backfire or whatever they 1:32:57.253 --> 1:33:00.453 do and whack me in the wrist. I pulled the 1:33:01.053 --> 1:33:04.213 women crank handlet and went to freight at the bottom 1:33:04.293 --> 1:33:08.373 and downstairs. The bottom was right through the bloody windscreen. 1:33:10.413 --> 1:33:13.813 Special wind screen, because we just got more for the 1:33:13.853 --> 1:33:16.453 windscreen than what it did for the whole car. But 1:33:16.573 --> 1:33:20.293 it was a beautiful car that was racing green, but 1:33:20.413 --> 1:33:24.733 it wasn't very fast and liver upholstery and all that stuff. 1:33:25.853 --> 1:33:30.253 But now I what a suicide was that happened out. 1:33:30.213 --> 1:33:36.733 Towards the wind opened. Yeah yeah, but if you went 1:33:36.813 --> 1:33:38.973 down to pull you out of the car because they 1:33:39.013 --> 1:33:41.853 had no belt stack in those days either. But I 1:33:41.933 --> 1:33:43.693 was driving up fund the scorner one day and I 1:33:43.773 --> 1:33:46.013 went in and there was this eighth part of the 1:33:46.133 --> 1:33:50.573 nineteen fifty one, so I had to talk to me. 1:33:50.773 --> 1:33:56.053 So you to your deally to give you eighty one 1:33:56.173 --> 1:33:59.613 hundred pounds or something for the series E and give 1:33:59.693 --> 1:34:02.813 us eighty for the V eighth part of nineteen fifty one, 1:34:03.053 --> 1:34:05.453 and you can drive away. It's just the only thing 1:34:05.533 --> 1:34:09.013 that told you go was her radio. So I ended 1:34:09.093 --> 1:34:12.013 up going home in this V eight pilot. Nether than 1:34:12.053 --> 1:34:15.173 I'm a nice car. When you are, man saw that. 1:34:18.053 --> 1:34:18.813 You do? 1:34:18.813 --> 1:34:22.053 You figure you can handle it. He was driving a 1:34:22.093 --> 1:34:23.613 little way Humber fifty two. 1:34:24.453 --> 1:34:24.853 Did you do? 1:34:25.653 --> 1:34:27.253 Did I take an accent with your father? 1:34:28.653 --> 1:34:30.413 And I just put that on? 1:34:31.013 --> 1:34:34.213 Okay? I thought you thought Hungarian or something? Yeah, okay, 1:34:34.253 --> 1:34:36.013 you then we got no. 1:34:36.453 --> 1:34:40.653 But I had that for the VA pilot. But yeah, 1:34:40.653 --> 1:34:42.613 I think that might have been a cranker. Yeah, that 1:34:42.773 --> 1:34:45.413 was fifty one that I didn't have to crank that 1:34:45.493 --> 1:34:48.613 fil But yeah, that's the most story about cranking get 1:34:48.893 --> 1:34:53.293 tractors here, Matthew ferguson stuff like that. But you learned 1:34:53.813 --> 1:34:55.133 was if you didn't get your PUMBI out of the 1:34:55.173 --> 1:34:56.973 day man, you lose your tomb. 1:34:58.093 --> 1:35:01.253 The pilot's a Ford, a Ford pilot, right Ford. 1:35:01.373 --> 1:35:04.373 Yeah, but I think this one might have been an 1:35:04.413 --> 1:35:07.333 English one. But it had a twenty six, had American 1:35:07.413 --> 1:35:10.613 motor in it by Jack again, and the medal on 1:35:10.693 --> 1:35:14.893 it was a real metal Dick can I mention. 1:35:15.053 --> 1:35:17.893 Thanks for Harley. David Marcus welcome. 1:35:19.133 --> 1:35:22.253 Yeah, David here, just talking about crank handles and cars. 1:35:22.653 --> 1:35:26.973 The BMC Austin a forty Forina from about nineteen sixty 1:35:27.013 --> 1:35:31.093 to sixty three. It was called a forty Countryman and 1:35:31.173 --> 1:35:33.653 it had a lift back. The window went up when 1:35:33.653 --> 1:35:35.773 the towlgate came down. So it was a very useful car. 1:35:36.253 --> 1:35:39.133 But it came It was a front engine and it 1:35:39.253 --> 1:35:43.613 had a crank handle as part of the toolkit. And 1:35:44.293 --> 1:35:46.853 we actually we actually end up with a flat battery 1:35:46.933 --> 1:35:49.053 one morning. We're dead going to work. So he cranked 1:35:49.093 --> 1:35:51.093 it and thought, yeah, just like the old model A. 1:35:51.293 --> 1:35:54.413 But yeah, so that was the A forty Farina had 1:35:54.653 --> 1:35:58.253 had a crank handle in the early sixties, and you 1:35:58.333 --> 1:35:58.853 did you go to. 1:35:58.893 --> 1:35:59.773 Use it occasionally? 1:36:01.093 --> 1:36:01.213 Oh? 1:36:01.333 --> 1:36:02.493 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it. 1:36:02.573 --> 1:36:06.733 Was it was the theory because the batteries weren't good. 1:36:06.733 --> 1:36:08.573 All the engines were a lot heavy to turnover. 1:36:10.173 --> 1:36:12.093 I don't know, I don't know. I mean the engine 1:36:12.133 --> 1:36:14.813 in the A forty Fourina was the same as the 1:36:14.893 --> 1:36:18.973 engine and the Morrison Austin eleven hundred, so yeah, they 1:36:18.973 --> 1:36:21.453 were fairly light, light engine, but there was no problem. 1:36:21.493 --> 1:36:23.013 It was just I don't know why they had a 1:36:25.133 --> 1:36:27.173 crank handle, but they did, had all the fitting there 1:36:27.253 --> 1:36:30.773 and yeah, so here we just put the handle in 1:36:31.093 --> 1:36:32.613 and spun it over and she started. 1:36:32.693 --> 1:36:36.093 And it's a bit like kickstarting and motorboard, so it's 1:36:36.213 --> 1:36:38.773 just like kickstarting like That's have been quite a satisfying 1:36:38.813 --> 1:36:39.653 way to start a car. 1:36:41.333 --> 1:36:43.133 Well, well, especially when you had a fat battery and 1:36:43.133 --> 1:36:45.373 you had to go to work and work at seven 1:36:45.453 --> 1:36:49.813 and so it was ideal. But he only used it once. 1:36:51.253 --> 1:36:53.693 Did the land drivers have Did the land drivers have 1:36:54.053 --> 1:36:56.133 crank handles? They must have, must they? Is that right? 1:36:56.453 --> 1:36:58.533 I think they did. I think the early ones did, 1:36:59.333 --> 1:37:01.053 but you never used them. I mean, they were sort 1:37:01.053 --> 1:37:03.733 of a standby with flat batteries and that sort of thing. 1:37:03.853 --> 1:37:07.053 So yeah, but the batteries weren't there great. You know, 1:37:07.173 --> 1:37:09.613 they didn't last. We went through a period, didn't we 1:37:09.733 --> 1:37:12.733 wear the batteries had a fearal life. But now we're 1:37:12.773 --> 1:37:16.693 in the new vehicles, with the with the Carfa that 1:37:16.733 --> 1:37:19.093 got stopped starting that they can go through batteries. You know, 1:37:19.133 --> 1:37:21.653 a battery in three years. There's been a bit of 1:37:21.733 --> 1:37:25.453 a change. But the old battery you get two years 1:37:25.493 --> 1:37:28.693 out of it or so. Someone else might have another view, 1:37:28.733 --> 1:37:30.893 but yeah, they went great, but then they were quite 1:37:30.933 --> 1:37:33.413 expensive relatively to what the battery is today. 1:37:33.973 --> 1:37:38.453 Agreed. Yeah, nice to talk David. Thank you some texts. Marcus, 1:37:38.453 --> 1:37:40.293 I'm pretty sure the Pugo for four had a crank 1:37:40.373 --> 1:37:42.013 start in those old was well, we always had a 1:37:42.053 --> 1:37:43.973 Pugo four O three and that was always a cranker. 1:37:45.133 --> 1:37:47.133 That must have been about nineteen sixty six, might be 1:37:47.333 --> 1:37:50.093 one or two years earlier. We hadn't got it new, 1:37:51.533 --> 1:37:53.893 but that would be occasionally cranked, was my memory of that. 1:37:54.853 --> 1:37:59.173 I'll get in touch yutill twelfth, Richard. It's Marcus, good evening, Hi, Marcus. 1:37:59.733 --> 1:38:03.453 I had a nineteen seventy six Citron Gus station wagon 1:38:04.213 --> 1:38:08.093 fantastic ided a ten to fifteen in it and it 1:38:08.133 --> 1:38:10.013 would start with the cran candle if you just about 1:38:10.013 --> 1:38:10.853 to do it one handed. 1:38:12.773 --> 1:38:14.573 The French seemed to like the crank candles. 1:38:16.373 --> 1:38:20.293 The French had some weird ideas. It was actually an 1:38:20.333 --> 1:38:23.213 amazing cardinal. Or do you know about the old Bradford 1:38:23.333 --> 1:38:27.813 vance you know, do you remember those Jevans horizontally opposed 1:38:27.853 --> 1:38:33.173 the equal motor and they were very popular, but the 1:38:33.373 --> 1:38:35.933 Ford company brought them out because it was competing with 1:38:36.053 --> 1:38:36.493 the Fords. 1:38:36.573 --> 1:38:37.133 And then. 1:38:38.973 --> 1:38:42.453 In nineteen seventy three the patent ran out and two 1:38:42.693 --> 1:38:45.933 car companies picked up. One was Citron and the other 1:38:46.093 --> 1:38:50.573 was Sabari, and that motor lived on for quite a 1:38:50.653 --> 1:38:53.613 long time after the old Brady. 1:38:56.573 --> 1:38:58.413 Did your Citrons? Yes? Have that also? 1:38:59.653 --> 1:39:03.293 Yes, he had had the bread you opposed, Well, yeah, 1:39:03.373 --> 1:39:06.133 it was. It was a force that the Bradford engine 1:39:06.213 --> 1:39:08.573 was a Tucson and the jow had a force on it. 1:39:08.613 --> 1:39:10.733 But they were they were sort of like a low 1:39:10.853 --> 1:39:13.693 you know, they were different to the volkswagons, and they 1:39:13.733 --> 1:39:18.333 had a very distinctive sound, sort of a poppies that 1:39:18.453 --> 1:39:21.493 little Citron ten fifteen move and you could cruise out 1:39:21.533 --> 1:39:23.053 at seventy five miles an hour. 1:39:26.093 --> 1:39:27.333 Did you always have to crank it? 1:39:28.413 --> 1:39:28.453 No? 1:39:28.813 --> 1:39:30.853 No, no, but it was bloody handy. I can tell 1:39:30.853 --> 1:39:32.733 you there are a few times that I was pleased 1:39:32.773 --> 1:39:32.973 to have. 1:39:33.053 --> 1:39:37.453 It because you left your lights on or on cold mornings, 1:39:38.053 --> 1:39:38.773 col Yeah it was. 1:39:39.013 --> 1:39:40.693 I took it up to a ski field once and 1:39:40.813 --> 1:39:43.893 they got it wouldn't start. Yeah, set over an idea. 1:39:46.413 --> 1:39:48.973 So but you know, I miss it. 1:39:49.093 --> 1:39:52.493 Actually again I'm missing and I think there's almost almost what. 1:39:52.573 --> 1:39:54.413 I got a feery meat or something and just crank 1:39:54.413 --> 1:39:56.773 an engine to tune something over to get it going again. 1:39:58.333 --> 1:39:59.093 Break my thumb. 1:39:59.933 --> 1:40:02.413 It's that sort of like satisfied feeling as you pull 1:40:02.453 --> 1:40:04.453 out the clan case and walk back and hop into 1:40:04.493 --> 1:40:07.173 your car and drive off. Something about it, because the 1:40:07.253 --> 1:40:07.693 other thing. 1:40:07.653 --> 1:40:09.573 Is that, because I mean it was always I often 1:40:09.613 --> 1:40:13.093 do it with motorbikes too, but very satisfying to to 1:40:13.333 --> 1:40:15.493 crash that engine, which no one can do anymore because 1:40:15.573 --> 1:40:19.813 is all the cars are automatic. You can't you can't 1:40:20.253 --> 1:40:21.893 start a car on a hill anymore. And that was 1:40:22.013 --> 1:40:27.333 incredibly satisfying to do. Timing it right before you let 1:40:27.413 --> 1:40:29.973 the clat and away. I mean tremendous when it engaged 1:40:30.013 --> 1:40:30.613 and you went. 1:40:32.133 --> 1:40:33.933 And then you get that sort of little moment of 1:40:34.053 --> 1:40:36.773 hesitation and she burst into beautiful. 1:40:37.973 --> 1:40:39.653 You don't get that on your cell phone these days 1:40:39.653 --> 1:40:43.573 on Instagram, do you. That's what they're missing, Textile things 1:40:43.613 --> 1:40:48.853 that you remember forever. What happened to you said, probably 1:40:48.893 --> 1:40:51.013 cost too much to make to keep maintained in it. 1:40:51.653 --> 1:40:51.693 No. 1:40:52.053 --> 1:40:54.653 A guy, a guy persuaded me to sell it to him. 1:40:54.653 --> 1:40:57.053 He was a fanatic, and I was getting a bit 1:40:57.253 --> 1:41:01.253 small for me, and because I had I actually got 1:41:01.293 --> 1:41:03.453 a boat, you know, I couldn't really tow the boat 1:41:03.533 --> 1:41:06.573 with it. So he bought it off me. And I 1:41:06.693 --> 1:41:10.413 kept bringing them up and asking about and yeah, they 1:41:10.493 --> 1:41:13.613 sell it, give me a call, but I never heard 1:41:13.613 --> 1:41:13.893 from me. 1:41:14.413 --> 1:41:16.213 I had mate with one of those old Citrons, you know, 1:41:16.293 --> 1:41:18.573 the station wagon, the earlier ones, what a I think 1:41:18.573 --> 1:41:21.053 it was called a Safari or something. What an extraordinary 1:41:21.093 --> 1:41:21.693 car that was? 1:41:22.053 --> 1:41:26.093 Oh yes, yeah, well yeah they were. They were much 1:41:26.173 --> 1:41:26.733 bigger car. 1:41:27.013 --> 1:41:29.533 Yeah, that was the Dsafari, but that was because that 1:41:29.653 --> 1:41:31.653 was that had the evil looking front. But was the 1:41:31.733 --> 1:41:34.573 station wagon. And I mean you put your whole student 1:41:34.653 --> 1:41:36.493 loan through one of those and it still wouldn't go. Boy, 1:41:36.573 --> 1:41:37.653 they took a bit of maintenance. 1:41:38.573 --> 1:41:40.653 Do you know what I had. 1:41:40.853 --> 1:41:44.333 I've still got a Citron. I've got a a C 1:41:44.573 --> 1:41:46.853 five station mega now and I take it to the 1:41:46.973 --> 1:41:49.573 garage and you go in there sometimes and they've got 1:41:49.613 --> 1:41:53.013 a really mint version of one of those DS's, you know, 1:41:53.533 --> 1:42:00.213 and it's not meaning them about sixty grand, yeah, facts, no, no, 1:42:00.453 --> 1:42:01.533 sixty grand they were. 1:42:01.853 --> 1:42:03.333 Yeah, I can imagine. 1:42:04.933 --> 1:42:07.693 Even those that all you know, the old you see these, yes, 1:42:08.533 --> 1:42:09.653 there was about twenty. 1:42:10.293 --> 1:42:13.813 It's Citrus Citrons still a big calm manufacture of their 1:42:13.893 --> 1:42:17.333 French scene their day. Is it all over filled Africa 1:42:17.373 --> 1:42:18.453 or their old cars, didn't they? 1:42:19.573 --> 1:42:24.053 Yeah, I mine my Citron. The seaside was the last 1:42:24.093 --> 1:42:27.293 one was the hydro and numatic extension. Oh yes, and 1:42:27.853 --> 1:42:31.613 now that, to be honest, they just rebadged the tabushies. Yeah, okay, 1:42:34.333 --> 1:42:35.013 which is sad. 1:42:35.533 --> 1:42:38.093 Well, I mean, look, I think I think you could anywhere. 1:42:38.093 --> 1:42:39.773 I mean, no one's built a car that looks like 1:42:39.813 --> 1:42:42.333 a Citro, and those those earlier ones, those were just done. 1:42:42.693 --> 1:42:42.893 Yeah. 1:42:42.893 --> 1:42:47.133 The ones that looked like giant irons were just amazing looking. Yes, yeah, 1:42:47.933 --> 1:42:49.533 I don't know, and that's really good to drive. And 1:42:49.573 --> 1:42:52.333 they did the races and them didn't they because they 1:42:52.773 --> 1:42:54.613 they were smooth. You put the cameras on them for 1:42:55.133 --> 1:42:56.573 Scott Royal Escott and stuff. 1:42:56.573 --> 1:43:01.893 I think, yeah, well, I mean mine, you can drive 1:43:01.973 --> 1:43:03.653 over anything and you had you notice it. 1:43:04.933 --> 1:43:05.093 You know. 1:43:06.213 --> 1:43:08.853 The Es like you were talking about were the first 1:43:09.013 --> 1:43:11.493 ones to come up with that what they called hydro 1:43:12.093 --> 1:43:15.173 hydro and pneumatic suspension and they just float. 1:43:15.573 --> 1:43:17.493 I wonder why I didn't catch on. Was it? Was 1:43:17.533 --> 1:43:20.773 it the maintenance problems with it or probably too expensive? 1:43:21.573 --> 1:43:21.773 Yeah? 1:43:21.813 --> 1:43:26.213 Well, I mean my cars A two thousand and thirteen models, 1:43:26.253 --> 1:43:27.853 so it hasn't been gone that well. 1:43:28.253 --> 1:43:30.173 So yours are still yours of the last one? Would 1:43:30.213 --> 1:43:31.373 that still that technology? 1:43:31.653 --> 1:43:31.853 Yes? 1:43:32.213 --> 1:43:32.453 Yes? 1:43:33.693 --> 1:43:35.653 And when you turn the ignition as the car kind 1:43:35.653 --> 1:43:36.173 of lift. 1:43:36.093 --> 1:43:40.933 Up when it starts, it's sometimes does, but not as 1:43:41.053 --> 1:43:43.733 not as noticeably as it did in there, and that 1:43:43.853 --> 1:43:46.093 the yes, and those it comes up a little bit. 1:43:46.533 --> 1:43:48.733 And it handles juttabars and things like that and smooth 1:43:48.773 --> 1:43:49.053 them out. 1:43:49.133 --> 1:43:51.373 Oh yeah, you don't even know they exist. 1:43:51.733 --> 1:43:55.133 Brilliant, that's what that's what you want. Nice to hear 1:43:55.173 --> 1:43:57.973 from you, Richard, Thanks so much, evening, Norman, it's Marcus. Welcome. 1:43:58.893 --> 1:44:02.333 Yeah, good a Marcus. Look I'm going back many years. 1:44:02.533 --> 1:44:07.893 But I had a nineteen twenty nine Hudson with a 1:44:10.413 --> 1:44:15.573 you know, with the old starter handley. And I'll tell 1:44:15.613 --> 1:44:20.173 you what. I never used it once. Really no, I 1:44:20.413 --> 1:44:21.413 never used it once. 1:44:21.693 --> 1:44:22.493 And that car. 1:44:23.093 --> 1:44:26.093 If i'd have known more about it after I bought it, 1:44:26.253 --> 1:44:29.773 I would have I would have kept it because it 1:44:30.053 --> 1:44:34.293 was it was the one of the originals that went 1:44:35.653 --> 1:44:41.533 or that drove from christ Church to Achara, and that 1:44:41.813 --> 1:44:42.413 was its job. 1:44:44.493 --> 1:44:44.693 Yep. 1:44:45.693 --> 1:44:49.093 And it had the well I suppose you call them 1:44:49.613 --> 1:44:52.213 silver steps, you know you stepped on to get into 1:44:52.253 --> 1:44:58.973 the car. Yes, it also had a in the front. 1:44:59.173 --> 1:45:03.973 It had wooden covers that you operated from just a 1:45:04.053 --> 1:45:10.493 handle in the car, and that was to keep the 1:45:10.573 --> 1:45:11.093 frost out. 1:45:11.733 --> 1:45:13.893 I would have thought cars from that era would be 1:45:14.053 --> 1:45:15.893 cranks outed every time you used them. 1:45:16.693 --> 1:45:21.533 Nope. Well, and I'll tell you what it had. I 1:45:21.653 --> 1:45:24.133 don't know whether it was part of it. I'm not sure, 1:45:24.773 --> 1:45:28.773 but you could turn the key on and away she go. 1:45:29.173 --> 1:45:33.413 And anyway, at one stage there I couldn't get it 1:45:33.493 --> 1:45:37.893 to go, so I went to I found out that 1:45:38.093 --> 1:45:42.493 it was the Ford company that had the you know, 1:45:44.973 --> 1:45:47.493 their parts and that sort of thing back in those days, 1:45:48.453 --> 1:45:53.773 and they believe it or believe it not said to 1:45:53.893 --> 1:45:56.093 me that they had a very new start of motor 1:45:56.653 --> 1:45:57.533 sitting down the back. 1:45:58.173 --> 1:45:58.613 Goodness. 1:45:59.253 --> 1:46:02.133 So I bought the starto matter and as he said, 1:46:02.213 --> 1:46:05.853 you do know, he said that these cars have two 1:46:05.933 --> 1:46:10.573 stardom and I said no, and he said, well, one 1:46:11.413 --> 1:46:14.693 starts and the other goes into it. He said, I 1:46:14.773 --> 1:46:18.893 don't know why, but they did have two start them. Anyway, 1:46:19.013 --> 1:46:25.413 in the village. I ended up saying it and got 1:46:26.093 --> 1:46:28.493 nothing for it, of course, and a guy turned it 1:46:28.573 --> 1:46:32.533 into a truck. Well you made As far as I'm concerned, 1:46:33.253 --> 1:46:35.053 I thought that was good. And I also had a 1:46:35.173 --> 1:46:41.173 nineteen twenty eight Dodge sameful the thing, but they didn't 1:46:41.213 --> 1:46:48.453 have the extras that the other one had. And anyway, 1:46:48.533 --> 1:46:50.293 I thought it was just nice to let you know. 1:46:51.693 --> 1:46:55.333 Going back back par Yeah, they were quite long. 1:46:55.413 --> 1:46:57.693 I wish I kept it not to hear from you. 1:46:57.773 --> 1:46:59.493 Norman, Thank you sir very much. That twenty two to 1:46:59.573 --> 1:47:00.853 twelfth J Marcus. 1:47:00.653 --> 1:47:07.373 Welcome, believe me Marcus and Flowers. Well, I got to 1:47:07.413 --> 1:47:12.533 confess I was a very naughty schoolboy. My father had 1:47:12.573 --> 1:47:17.773 a one hundred e prefect and one day got very 1:47:17.893 --> 1:47:21.653 bold and somehow for crank handle got it going and 1:47:21.813 --> 1:47:23.773 took it to school. And it's only a fourth form 1:47:23.893 --> 1:47:25.893 of no license or anything. All the way over the 1:47:25.933 --> 1:47:28.653 wine knew he held to laugh, hut, great thing back. 1:47:28.733 --> 1:47:31.853 I used to drive it around. So I'm confessing my 1:47:32.013 --> 1:47:34.013 sons as a very naughty schoolboy. But it was a 1:47:34.133 --> 1:47:38.253 fantastic little caw thee hundred e prefect, little square one 1:47:38.293 --> 1:47:39.133 to remember those. 1:47:39.013 --> 1:47:41.013 One yep, easy to crank start. 1:47:42.293 --> 1:47:45.613 Yeah, it was really good. But he probably thought I 1:47:45.653 --> 1:47:49.333 wouldn't know what to do, and I'm not really mechanically minded, 1:47:49.413 --> 1:47:53.253 but I had great joy, joy riding around. Either knew 1:47:54.693 --> 1:47:57.213 going to college and name something home before he got 1:47:57.253 --> 1:47:59.373 back from work. They had to make sure I got 1:47:59.413 --> 1:48:00.053 home in time. 1:48:01.493 --> 1:48:02.173 Did you get caught? 1:48:02.333 --> 1:48:06.133 Confessions to everyone, It was a fantastic little car. Could 1:48:06.173 --> 1:48:09.333 you if you're your crank? And I really used to 1:48:09.493 --> 1:48:12.933 enjoy learning how to drive it. I never was taught 1:48:13.013 --> 1:48:14.973 how to drive and just did my best and hope 1:48:15.013 --> 1:48:15.573 for the best. 1:48:16.293 --> 1:48:18.853 And there you go, yell, didn't catch you? 1:48:20.173 --> 1:48:25.493 No, No, it's not alive any Also, I can confessed 1:48:25.533 --> 1:48:30.133 by sense to everyone who knows to go over the 1:48:30.213 --> 1:48:32.973 wine that we held was a big adventure and you 1:48:33.093 --> 1:48:36.413 didn't know really how to dribal. I never taught, but 1:48:36.493 --> 1:48:38.773 I was very careful. But it was just such a 1:48:38.893 --> 1:48:40.933 joy when you're young guy who wanted to get a car. 1:48:41.893 --> 1:48:44.213 So I really enjoyed it. And I've had some wonderful cars. 1:48:46.413 --> 1:48:48.053 Would you normally go to school on the bus? 1:48:49.253 --> 1:48:49.493 Yeah? 1:48:49.693 --> 1:48:51.373 Yeah, bus and train. 1:48:52.733 --> 1:48:52.853 Up. 1:48:55.453 --> 1:48:58.573 But I got a lovely cow these days. It's called 1:48:58.653 --> 1:49:04.133 a max I called it Maxi boy. It's a beautiful blue. Uh, 1:49:04.933 --> 1:49:07.653 there's a maximam boy.

Goodness, and I'm just doing that at 1:49:13.893 --> 1:49:18.333 the moment. Give me another radiator. It's wonderful to hear 1:49:18.413 --> 1:49:21.813 the guys sharing a different cars and my set for as. 1:49:21.853 --> 1:49:26.053 They had a Citron, an old Citron, and it's going 1:49:26.093 --> 1:49:28.253 to turn up the ony hell once the on every 1:49:28.293 --> 1:49:32.133 side and next minute the panels flying off from the 1:49:32.213 --> 1:49:37.493 engine flying back behind us. I got some great stories 1:49:37.533 --> 1:49:38.493 from the younger days. 1:49:39.773 --> 1:49:41.813 Yeah, how are you now? 1:49:41.933 --> 1:49:47.613 Yeah, I couldn't guess.

I'm going to take another break. It's nineteen 1:49:52.653 --> 1:49:57.333 to midnight evening. Brian as Marcus Welcome, Hello mircaus helly 1:49:57.373 --> 1:49:58.453 and good thanks Brian. 1:49:59.413 --> 1:50:02.573 I just talking about crank handles. I remember in the 1:50:02.773 --> 1:50:07.213 workshops we used to use the crank handles for setting 1:50:07.333 --> 1:50:12.573 the timing and the valve settings on the side valve 1:50:12.693 --> 1:50:16.533 and the overhead valve motors, so you'd have to wind 1:50:16.653 --> 1:50:21.293 the engine over to get the valves in the right position. 1:50:21.573 --> 1:50:28.453 So when they finally stopped making them, it was another 1:50:28.573 --> 1:50:33.693 option to get used the fen belt turn the engines over. 1:50:34.293 --> 1:50:37.733 But came back to the design of the crank handles, 1:50:38.413 --> 1:50:44.013 I recalled that they really needed a support on the 1:50:44.133 --> 1:50:48.533 crank handle, one up right by the crank itself by 1:50:48.613 --> 1:50:51.973 the front pulley, and back which was usually where it 1:50:52.053 --> 1:50:54.813 went through the front bumper or the front grille or 1:50:54.893 --> 1:50:58.093 something like that. So it's actually was had to be 1:50:58.213 --> 1:51:02.893 supported in two places. So I guess that's when the 1:51:03.013 --> 1:51:06.933 crank handles went out. When the designers came a factures 1:51:07.893 --> 1:51:13.293 changed their designs because remembering back in the in the 1:51:13.973 --> 1:51:20.413 late forties and fifties, they all had front bumpers. Yeah, 1:51:20.573 --> 1:51:23.493 and that was the outer position that the crank handle 1:51:24.213 --> 1:51:28.653 fitted through, and then it was supported again by another 1:51:28.733 --> 1:51:34.133 support just for the front pulley. Of course, the crank 1:51:34.213 --> 1:51:38.493 kendles were depending on the different models and so forth. 1:51:38.573 --> 1:51:42.413 They were quite different lengths, somewhere quite short and others 1:51:42.493 --> 1:51:46.373 were longer, depending on Oh so you. 1:51:46.453 --> 1:51:48.813 Need a particular you need a particular crank handle for 1:51:48.973 --> 1:51:53.213 your make of car, correct, Yeah, because of how far 1:51:53.253 --> 1:51:53.773 in they would go. 1:51:54.013 --> 1:51:58.693 Yeah, okay, exactly, yeah, And I mean some of them. 1:51:59.013 --> 1:52:04.133 I recall they used to have a nut that held 1:52:04.173 --> 1:52:08.133 the front pulley on and convery in which model was, 1:52:08.253 --> 1:52:11.013 but you actually had to take that nut off and 1:52:11.173 --> 1:52:16.093 put in the adapter that would take the crank handle 1:52:17.933 --> 1:52:21.693 only for service, not for starting, you know. And the 1:52:21.773 --> 1:52:24.413 other thing with the batteries you were talking about batteries 1:52:25.013 --> 1:52:30.133 and stardom motors. As the motives become more high compression 1:52:30.173 --> 1:52:34.813 and so forth, it was more difficult to actually start 1:52:34.893 --> 1:52:38.613 them on the crank handle. And that's when the start 1:52:38.773 --> 1:52:44.733 motives become more efficient, batteries become more heavy duty and 1:52:44.813 --> 1:52:49.333 so forth, and that's when they finally went out. But 1:52:49.613 --> 1:52:51.893 I think it'll be over a few years that they 1:52:52.053 --> 1:52:55.053 phased out with the different models and so forth. 1:52:55.613 --> 1:52:57.373 I'm sure there's be some people that wouldn't want to 1:52:57.413 --> 1:52:59.533 car without a crank because I'd still to thinking, oh well, 1:52:59.573 --> 1:53:01.613 I need that just in case. It probably was some 1:53:01.813 --> 1:53:05.173 resistance I could imagine, but like people going from manual 1:53:05.213 --> 1:53:08.893 to automatic, you know, some people still opposed to automatic 1:53:09.013 --> 1:53:12.493 cars because I think, oh, well, I'm not going. 1:53:12.493 --> 1:53:12.813 To lead it. 1:53:12.933 --> 1:53:14.813 Oh, I appreciate you explaining that to me, Brian, to 1:53:14.853 --> 1:53:17.293 thank you for that good evening. Jeremy, it's Marcus. Welcome. 1:53:18.333 --> 1:53:19.093 Okay, Marcus. 1:53:19.173 --> 1:53:22.373 I'm sure that one of my old vehicles down there 1:53:22.453 --> 1:53:27.573 in that museum in the cargol are nineteen twenty nine 1:53:27.773 --> 1:53:32.853 Dodge Brothers straight eight eight cylinders in a row, and boy, 1:53:33.373 --> 1:53:35.853 if you wanted to start that with a crank candle, 1:53:36.253 --> 1:53:41.613 you had to have everything in line because because you 1:53:41.693 --> 1:53:43.853 know what happened if you got it wrong, the crank 1:53:43.893 --> 1:53:45.773 would go the other way and break your arm. 1:53:45.933 --> 1:53:47.653 Yeah, I could mention, I could imagine you. 1:53:47.653 --> 1:53:48.093 Could do that. 1:53:48.693 --> 1:53:49.533 Did it do that to you? 1:53:50.733 --> 1:53:50.773 No? 1:53:51.413 --> 1:53:55.173 My father he's helped me when we bought I bought 1:53:55.253 --> 1:53:58.893 this vehicle. He'd had all this sort of car and 1:53:58.973 --> 1:54:01.373 he knew and he said, hey, you line it up 1:54:01.413 --> 1:54:04.173 this way and you just have to get everything just 1:54:04.293 --> 1:54:06.693 in line and then give it just one little and 1:54:06.893 --> 1:54:07.453 where did it go? 1:54:08.213 --> 1:54:10.213 Because you get that's like kickstarting a motorbiate. You get 1:54:10.213 --> 1:54:11.773 the feel for it. Don't you know when it's going 1:54:11.813 --> 1:54:12.653 to come around? Here? 1:54:13.533 --> 1:54:13.733 Yeah? 1:54:14.013 --> 1:54:18.413 Yeah, even my wife is here next to me in bed. 1:54:18.493 --> 1:54:20.333 She made it crank the bloodything. 1:54:20.893 --> 1:54:22.453 What years did you own it, Jeremy. 1:54:24.493 --> 1:54:25.933 I was just trying to work it out, and I 1:54:26.013 --> 1:54:30.453 think it was about nineteen sixty eight sixty nine. I 1:54:30.573 --> 1:54:35.933 was about eighteen nineteen years old, and it was an 1:54:36.093 --> 1:54:38.933 real Elliot Nest type, great big black thing with a 1:54:38.973 --> 1:54:42.653 big long bonnet and two spare wheels on the on 1:54:42.773 --> 1:54:45.413 the running board and that. Oh it was just the 1:54:45.533 --> 1:54:47.733 most beautiful car, which I still owned it. 1:54:49.773 --> 1:54:53.613 Yeah, what she's saying, lucky. 1:54:54.293 --> 1:54:58.093 Anyway, another little track because I drove it. I drove 1:54:58.173 --> 1:55:00.293 it all over the place. We had to go over 1:55:00.373 --> 1:55:02.973 the hill to Gismond and we're getting near the top 1:55:03.013 --> 1:55:05.653 of the hill and it wouldn't go any in. My 1:55:05.813 --> 1:55:08.053 mate said, turn around. We had to back it up 1:55:08.133 --> 1:55:10.613 the hill because the petrol was in the back and 1:55:10.733 --> 1:55:13.813 the PETREL's room had to run back down to the motor. 1:55:14.773 --> 1:55:18.493 Goodness, oh well you're mad to sell it. You'll be 1:55:18.613 --> 1:55:20.773 nice to hear from me. Thank you. Seving away from twelve, 1:55:21.013 --> 1:55:22.253 Donald Marcus, Welcome. 1:55:23.333 --> 1:55:23.453 Hi. 1:55:23.813 --> 1:55:26.333 My father had a Mark five Jaguar. It's about a 1:55:26.453 --> 1:55:30.293 nineteen forty nine to fifty one model, not very common now, 1:55:30.293 --> 1:55:32.733 only made ten and a half thousand. Anyway, it had 1:55:32.733 --> 1:55:35.173 a crank candle and he had occasionally started with it 1:55:35.213 --> 1:55:37.533 and said it was to save draining the battery. They 1:55:37.693 --> 1:55:39.853 started in the garage, standing in front of the car, 1:55:40.333 --> 1:55:43.213 and just behind it was a solid foundation, concrete foundation. 1:55:43.373 --> 1:55:45.413 I was always scared that the thing would be in 1:55:45.493 --> 1:55:47.813 gear and they'd fall and pin them against the concrete wall. 1:55:48.173 --> 1:55:50.853 He quite often used to pull his starting handle and 1:55:50.973 --> 1:55:53.253 crank it up. That was a forty nine to fifty 1:55:53.293 --> 1:55:57.173 one jag Now I reckon starting cran candles went about 1:55:57.373 --> 1:56:00.053 during the fifties. He had Morris Minor convertibles. I think 1:56:00.133 --> 1:56:02.733 they had a cran candle. This was early fifties. But 1:56:02.773 --> 1:56:04.773 I've just looked up the history of box All cars 1:56:05.773 --> 1:56:08.973 Row forty five to eighty five and it said In 1:56:09.933 --> 1:56:13.253 December fifty four, vox All brought out their first Crest, 1:56:13.413 --> 1:56:15.773 which is a knee model. They called it, and it says, 1:56:15.813 --> 1:56:19.253 here's Boxel's top model and the factory's first model not 1:56:19.413 --> 1:56:22.013 fitted with a start handle, and that was a fifty 1:56:22.093 --> 1:56:25.133 four Crest. The wy the envelops were the same shape, 1:56:25.373 --> 1:56:26.533 so they presumebly had them. 1:56:27.373 --> 1:56:30.533 I wonder why your father was into Murray convertibles. What 1:56:30.613 --> 1:56:31.853 a strange car to be into. 1:56:32.813 --> 1:56:35.093 Well, I hated them too that I was only about 1:56:35.093 --> 1:56:36.733 three or four. I've got thhoes of me standing up 1:56:36.773 --> 1:56:39.013 with them. I don't know that people like Morris Miners. 1:56:39.013 --> 1:56:39.893 They reckon, they're great car. 1:56:40.093 --> 1:56:42.973 I'm not converted, not convertibles in this weather. 1:56:44.413 --> 1:56:45.813 Well this is in the fifties. 1:56:45.853 --> 1:56:47.413 Well, I've got those of me standing up in a 1:56:47.453 --> 1:56:49.533 convertible car with below and well, I don't know, maybe 1:56:49.533 --> 1:56:51.773 the summer's a devil in the fifties. I've got pictures 1:56:51.773 --> 1:56:53.053 of me as I had a three year old, standing 1:56:53.093 --> 1:56:55.093 up with head out the top in front of the 1:56:55.173 --> 1:56:59.333 new house. And these old Morris Minor convertibles I vaguely 1:56:59.413 --> 1:57:02.133 remember them. I think their little cow on the on 1:57:02.293 --> 1:57:05.053 the dashboards where the god box was. I think there 1:57:05.133 --> 1:57:08.333 was some little emblem there, but I think it started 1:57:08.413 --> 1:57:10.653 handled by the sixties or nothing. I don't think anything 1:57:10.693 --> 1:57:12.333 had to start handled by the sixties. 1:57:12.893 --> 1:57:15.413 I think I think our car did. Al Pugio did. 1:57:17.373 --> 1:57:17.413 It. 1:57:17.773 --> 1:57:20.773 My European cars, yeah, yeah, I think. 1:57:20.733 --> 1:57:23.173 The Citron and the Pugios used to have crank handles 1:57:23.253 --> 1:57:26.413 right up till about sixty five, and the larder right 1:57:26.533 --> 1:57:28.893 until the right larder right until the eighties. 1:57:30.413 --> 1:57:32.053 Larder yeah, yeah, they were. 1:57:32.893 --> 1:57:34.813 They were one two five feet shape. God, I drove 1:57:34.853 --> 1:57:35.933 one for a guy a few years ago. 1:57:36.173 --> 1:57:37.333 No idea about that. Look. 1:57:37.333 --> 1:57:39.533 Grandmother had a thirty nine Cries when I was young. 1:57:39.573 --> 1:57:41.693 They sold it when I was about seven. I remember 1:57:41.813 --> 1:57:43.893 clearly writing it. It must have had a crank candle, 1:57:43.893 --> 1:57:44.693 but I don't remember. 1:57:45.213 --> 1:57:45.613 I've got a. 1:57:45.613 --> 1:57:49.173 Thirty nine DeSoto sales brochure of all Things and Colors, 1:57:49.213 --> 1:57:53.253 my oldest brochure. There's no no mention or no provision 1:57:53.293 --> 1:57:55.213 in the bumper for a crank candle. Probably you could 1:57:55.293 --> 1:57:57.533 start one, I'd say, I think a thirty nine car, 1:57:58.293 --> 1:58:01.413 but bumpers of maybe you do it behind the bumper. 1:58:01.493 --> 1:58:03.693 You know, they were gone by the sixties. I reckon 1:58:03.773 --> 1:58:04.773 the most modern cars. 1:58:04.853 --> 1:58:06.853 You know, I'll try and find up. But thank you, 1:58:06.933 --> 1:58:08.013 Donald Andrew Marcus. 1:58:08.133 --> 1:58:12.893 Welcome, good evening, Marcus. It's Andrew, the audio's enthusiast guy. 1:58:13.813 --> 1:58:13.973 Hey. 1:58:14.653 --> 1:58:18.693 Back in the early eighties, my dad bought a farm, 1:58:18.933 --> 1:58:22.533 an old farm or tractor. I don't know what would 1:58:22.533 --> 1:58:26.533 that be, the big bread ones. I can't remember the years. 1:58:26.533 --> 1:58:30.133 I think it was probably the late forties or fifties. Anyway, 1:58:30.173 --> 1:58:32.133 I bought it an oxtion and pooka koe and we 1:58:32.213 --> 1:58:34.293 towed it down to Thames where we used to have 1:58:35.493 --> 1:58:37.133 a heart in the bush down we're near where the 1:58:37.173 --> 1:58:40.373 Swedes were murdered sort of thing, and we used to 1:58:40.493 --> 1:58:42.253 take it up this road and occasionally, when then it'd 1:58:42.293 --> 1:58:44.013 been a big storm, you couldn't get out of the road, 1:58:44.053 --> 1:58:46.293 but we could get up in the tractor. Anyway, when 1:58:46.293 --> 1:58:50.133 we bought this thing, it wasn't particularly good easy to 1:58:50.253 --> 1:58:52.293 start at first, and we were taking it up this 1:58:52.493 --> 1:58:55.453 road and my dad had to you know, it was 1:58:55.533 --> 1:58:57.853 just a crank start, and he went to crank it 1:58:58.493 --> 1:59:01.813 and it backfired and it threw the crank out. And 1:59:02.053 --> 1:59:04.773 I was just old enough, you know, really to remember. 1:59:05.013 --> 1:59:08.333 Probably it broke the fly and his genes, but he 1:59:08.453 --> 1:59:10.373 was still standing, so I guess it was a pretty 1:59:10.373 --> 1:59:14.133 close call, straight up true story. I remember him looking 1:59:14.213 --> 1:59:18.533 at his fly and his genes and yeah, he wasn't 1:59:18.573 --> 1:59:21.133 writhing around on the ground and pain. So how close 1:59:21.173 --> 1:59:23.493 could you have got to be honest with that? And 1:59:23.613 --> 1:59:27.213 I think with the larder, the larder Neva's there, four 1:59:27.253 --> 1:59:30.893 by fours. They still had a crank handle into the eighties. 1:59:30.933 --> 1:59:32.973 I think they still make the Neva actually, but they 1:59:32.973 --> 1:59:36.693 won't be crank anymore. But yeah, they certainly still had 1:59:36.733 --> 1:59:38.973 it into the eighties up to about eighty five, eighty six. 1:59:40.173 --> 1:59:41.573 Yeah, I think eighty eight they went to. 1:59:43.133 --> 1:59:45.013 Yes, I think they did. Yeah, I've got one of 1:59:45.053 --> 1:59:47.493 my brothers, one of my brother's mate owned a place 1:59:47.573 --> 1:59:51.573 that did Italian cars, alf Romeos and fiates and that 1:59:51.653 --> 1:59:53.893 sort of thing, and they wrecked larder than that, and 1:59:54.013 --> 1:59:55.933 so they've got a far better knowledge. 1:59:56.333 --> 1:59:57.853 That from what I know. 1:59:58.093 --> 2:00:00.133 Like, we've had a couple of larders in the family, 2:00:00.253 --> 2:00:02.653 I think as well. I think we were not maybe not. 2:00:02.733 --> 2:00:04.333 We've had a lot of fiats and that sort of thing. 2:00:04.573 --> 2:00:07.493 We're all car enthusiasts and Nutters saw three brothers and 2:00:08.453 --> 2:00:12.253 my father. But yeah, certainly the Neha did. 2:00:12.333 --> 2:00:12.773 Yeah're right. 2:00:12.853 --> 2:00:14.733 I think it went to eighty eight eighty nine. The 2:00:14.853 --> 2:00:17.093 last ones they called a Cossack was the model they 2:00:17.133 --> 2:00:19.733 called them. But even a lot of people probably listening, 2:00:19.773 --> 2:00:22.133 I only know them as a three door, but actually 2:00:22.253 --> 2:00:25.933 in Russia they made a five door, so they made 2:00:25.933 --> 2:00:27.693 a four door body one and they. 2:00:27.613 --> 2:00:28.333 Were still around. 2:00:28.413 --> 2:00:31.293 I was still quite amazed. Yeah, a little while, a 2:00:31.333 --> 2:00:33.053 couple of years back, I saw them on the internet, 2:00:33.093 --> 2:00:34.733 so it's possibly they're still even going. 2:00:34.933 --> 2:00:36.933 But I'm going to go andry nights. Tot'll get it 2:00:36.973 --> 2:00:38.093 for me. People.
