I left christ Church 6 00:00:20,413 --> 00:00:24,653 Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy, so maybe that was before Dimitris got underway. 7 00:00:24,853 --> 00:00:27,533 Speaker 2: It was pre Dimitries. Yes, that was pre Dimitri. It 8 00:00:27,693 --> 00:00:30,773 Speaker 2: was forty years this weekend, this is the fortieth furday Dimitris. 9 00:00:30,773 --> 00:00:33,773 Speaker 3: So yep. I'm very pleased that I'm not booked in 10 00:00:33,813 --> 00:00:37,133 Speaker 3: there for lunch or hoping to wander in there for 11 00:00:37,253 --> 00:00:40,613 Speaker 3: lunch after your piece, because of course there'll be a 12 00:00:40,693 --> 00:00:42,453 Speaker 3: queue right out the door and down the road. 13 00:00:42,653 --> 00:00:45,453 Speaker 2: Honestly, they don't need my piece to advertise them. I'm 14 00:00:45,453 --> 00:00:47,253 Speaker 2: not being paid a cent and they don't need it. 15 00:00:47,253 --> 00:00:49,973 Speaker 2: There's always a que now, anyway, I think there's always. 16 00:00:50,293 --> 00:00:53,373 Speaker 2: But it's one of those places that has just for 17 00:00:54,093 --> 00:00:57,933 Speaker 2: it has developed a reputation over many decades for excellence 18 00:00:58,293 --> 00:01:01,733 Speaker 2: and for doing, you know, effectively one thing incredibly well, 19 00:01:01,813 --> 00:01:04,333 Speaker 2: and to not messing with that in any way, shape 20 00:01:04,413 --> 00:01:09,013 Speaker 2: or form, and it's it deserves every bit of love 21 00:01:09,093 --> 00:01:11,053 Speaker 2: that it gets. As far as I'm concerned. The reason 22 00:01:11,053 --> 00:01:14,453 Speaker 2: it's developed that reputation is because it's so good, you know, yes, 23 00:01:14,573 --> 00:01:15,173 Speaker 2: but it's funny. 24 00:01:15,173 --> 00:01:17,453 Speaker 3: I can go there when next time them down there, 25 00:01:18,493 --> 00:01:21,653 Speaker 3: I'll refer to my daughter who's now moved down to 26 00:01:21,733 --> 00:01:22,373 Speaker 3: christ So. 27 00:01:22,693 --> 00:01:25,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure she'll definitely know about it.

There used to be a place down Chrish 38 00:01:53,973 --> 00:01:59,093 Speaker 3: It's called Fail's First Cafe, and it had extraordinary tables 39 00:01:59,133 --> 00:02:02,173 Speaker 3: where the chairs were sort of made of raw time 40 00:02:02,293 --> 00:02:06,173 Speaker 3: and swung swung actually on the tables. These all things 41 00:02:06,453 --> 00:02:11,453 Speaker 3: all out right extraordinary. There's still around actually, because you'd 42 00:02:11,493 --> 00:02:15,973 Speaker 3: never they'll last forever and collectors in christ surch now 43 00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:20,093 Speaker 3: have a failes table and there in their kitchen, and 44 00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:24,253 Speaker 3: everybody gets very envious. And but yeah, but but foils 45 00:02:24,493 --> 00:02:26,813 Speaker 3: was well, it never failed. 46 00:02:26,573 --> 00:02:27,333 Speaker 2: No, was it? 47 00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:27,653 Speaker 3: Was it? 48 00:02:27,893 --> 00:02:30,653 Speaker 2: And was it that they primarily serve fish? 49 00:02:31,333 --> 00:02:33,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, almost totally fish. I don't think they have had 50 00:02:33,813 --> 00:02:34,333 Speaker 3: anything else. 51 00:02:34,453 --> 00:02:37,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear the White Lady. White Lady is a 52 00:02:37,373 --> 00:02:40,453 Speaker 2: good example in Auckland, the White Lady caravan. You know 53 00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:46,013 Speaker 2: the burgers in Auckland. Yeah, yeah, yep. Anyway, Kevin, speaking 54 00:02:46,093 --> 00:02:49,013 Speaker 2: of delicious food this morning, you're thinking about bathroom scales. 55 00:02:50,533 --> 00:02:54,093 Speaker 3: Yes, I've gone from a dot last week to talking 56 00:02:54,093 --> 00:02:59,053 Speaker 3: about I've expanded to bathroom scales. We had these bathroom 57 00:02:59,093 --> 00:03:02,453 Speaker 3: scales most of our married life, Jack, and they served 58 00:03:02,533 --> 00:03:06,733 Speaker 3: us well for over forty years. I monitor mywake constantly. 59 00:03:07,293 --> 00:03:10,693 Speaker 3: I like to give the scales a solid workout. There's 60 00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:13,373 Speaker 3: no point in having a display on them that goes 61 00:03:13,453 --> 00:03:16,533 Speaker 3: up to one hundred and fifty kgs if you're only 62 00:03:16,573 --> 00:03:19,453 Speaker 3: going to take it to fifty. It's like buying an 63 00:03:19,453 --> 00:03:23,493 Speaker 3: Asten Martin and driving it like a Corolla. My scales 64 00:03:23,573 --> 00:03:26,133 Speaker 3: go from nought to one hundred zero point five of 65 00:03:26,173 --> 00:03:31,453 Speaker 3: the second Anyway, until last week, we still used our 66 00:03:31,493 --> 00:03:34,853 Speaker 3: old scales, but we decided they had to go. They 67 00:03:35,013 --> 00:03:37,973 Speaker 3: just looked shabby. Let the rest of the bathroom down. 68 00:03:38,053 --> 00:03:41,453 Speaker 3: I got the job of buying the new ones. It's 69 00:03:41,493 --> 00:03:44,933 Speaker 3: hard to peck a set of scales. Actually different prices, 70 00:03:45,013 --> 00:03:47,933 Speaker 3: yet they all look the same. You might as well 71 00:03:48,173 --> 00:03:50,493 Speaker 3: chuck a bit of money at them, I feel, because 72 00:03:50,693 --> 00:03:53,533 Speaker 3: scales are nothing if they're not accurate. So I've bought 73 00:03:53,573 --> 00:03:57,893 Speaker 3: a flash set of glass salt of scales designed in 74 00:03:57,973 --> 00:04:00,973 Speaker 3: Great Britain. Solar scales have been designed in Britain for 75 00:04:01,013 --> 00:04:04,333 Speaker 3: the last three hundred and fifty years, so I knew 76 00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:07,493 Speaker 3: they'd be reliable. Anyway, I got the new scales home, 77 00:04:07,573 --> 00:04:10,373 Speaker 3: assembled them and decided there and then to make sure 78 00:04:10,493 --> 00:04:15,253 Speaker 3: they were working okay. So, knowing my weight, I weighed 79 00:04:15,293 --> 00:04:19,893 Speaker 3: myself to find jack that for years I've been four 80 00:04:20,013 --> 00:04:24,133 Speaker 3: cages heavier than I thought I was. That's assuming that 81 00:04:24,253 --> 00:04:27,693 Speaker 3: my new scales were telling the truth, which regrettably they were. 82 00:04:28,013 --> 00:04:32,613 Speaker 3: I confirmed that at the gym, very disappointing. My advice 83 00:04:32,653 --> 00:04:35,773 Speaker 3: to listeners is to think carefully before buying new scales. 84 00:04:36,213 --> 00:04:39,933 Speaker 3: It might be as rewarding as you expect and it 85 00:04:39,973 --> 00:04:43,293 Speaker 3: now occurs to me, why throw out an old set 86 00:04:43,293 --> 00:04:47,293 Speaker 3: of scales that's being kind to you? After all? Does 87 00:04:47,333 --> 00:04:50,613 Speaker 3: it really matter what your true weight is? Who cares? 88 00:04:50,893 --> 00:04:53,253 Speaker 3: All you need to know is if you're putting on 89 00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:56,933 Speaker 3: weight or losing it. And my dear old scales had 90 00:04:56,973 --> 00:05:00,133 Speaker 3: been accurately telling me that for decades, but in the 91 00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:01,773 Speaker 3: kindest possible way. 92 00:05:01,893 --> 00:05:05,333 Speaker 2: Jack, Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. Kevin. That's a 93 00:05:05,373 --> 00:05:09,693 Speaker 2: devastating moment. Realize that you've been sold a dud number 94 00:05:09,733 --> 00:05:12,173 Speaker 2: for however long. You know what it reminds me of it. 95 00:05:12,173 --> 00:05:14,853 Speaker 2: It reminds me of the speedometer, and you can and 96 00:05:14,893 --> 00:05:17,253 Speaker 2: you know how the speedo is often just a couple 97 00:05:17,253 --> 00:05:19,213 Speaker 2: of k's higher than your actual speed. You know, when 98 00:05:19,213 --> 00:05:21,053 Speaker 2: you drive past one of those things that tells you 99 00:05:21,053 --> 00:05:22,733 Speaker 2: your speed and says, you know, slow down if you 100 00:05:22,773 --> 00:05:24,013 Speaker 2: have to that, you know, the kind of in the 101 00:05:24,053 --> 00:05:27,853 Speaker 2: street speedometers. Well maybe this is just my experience, but 102 00:05:27,973 --> 00:05:31,973 Speaker 2: usually when I drive past that, the in street speedo 103 00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:35,373 Speaker 2: says that I'm doing a couple of k's slower than 104 00:05:35,413 --> 00:05:38,293 Speaker 2: my in car speedo does. And I'm convinced that my 105 00:05:38,413 --> 00:05:41,493 Speaker 2: in car speedo builds in a couple of extra kilometers 106 00:05:41,533 --> 00:05:45,053 Speaker 2: per hour grace, just so that if I happen to 107 00:05:45,093 --> 00:05:49,093 Speaker 2: accidentally nudge over the speed limit, I don't automatically get pinked. 108 00:05:49,213 --> 00:05:49,813 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. 109 00:05:49,973 --> 00:05:53,453 Speaker 4: Somebody told me in the last year or two that 110 00:05:53,613 --> 00:05:57,373 Speaker 4: in fact, they are designed to be the speed is 111 00:05:57,373 --> 00:06:00,253 Speaker 4: designed to be faster than than in reality. 112 00:06:00,613 --> 00:06:02,653 Speaker 3: No, there you go. So yeah, so there you go. 113 00:06:03,013 --> 00:06:07,213 Speaker 2: But is it real just a conspiracy, I'm I'm I'm 114 00:06:07,253 --> 00:06:09,293 Speaker 2: basing that on nothing except for my own theory. 115 00:06:09,973 --> 00:06:12,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'm basing just on what somebody told me. 116 00:06:12,573 --> 00:06:18,733 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that Yeah, and apparently the idea of it 117 00:06:18,853 --> 00:06:23,053 Speaker 5: was to it was basically to help you cut back 118 00:06:23,093 --> 00:06:24,373 Speaker 5: on speeding tickets. 119 00:06:24,413 --> 00:06:26,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is you have be inclined to slow down? 120 00:06:27,173 --> 00:06:30,293 Speaker 2: Clear, Yeah, of course, very good.
