Labour weekend part I
Monday the 24th of October was a bank holiday here so two of my new friends from work, Owen and Eunice, and I went off to the West Coast to have some adventures for ourselves. We left Christchurch straight after work (ish) on the Friday evening and made our way over Author’s pass to Greymouth
So Greymouth is a funny place. The men there sometimes go to the toilet (as you’d expect), but the women… oh no… toilets are not the place for the women of Greymouth. They go to restrooms:
Now in fairness, it’s not just Greymouth that has stoopid one-way bridges, they’re all over New Zealand. The idea is that one direction of traffic has the right of way and this is signposted as you approach the bridge so you know whether you have the right of way or not. Why they couldn’t just have built proper two lane bridges in the first place is beyond me. Anyway, in Greymouth, the train needs to cross the river too. So instead of building maybe another bridge or adding a bit on to the road bridge, the good Kiwis of Greymouth said to themselves… let’s save a bit of money and get the train to go over the same bridge as the cars… all in one lane. Like this:
Now for this sign, I'm looking for some interesting captions.
My favourite's so far are:
"Beware: Wheel thieves operate in this area"
"Safety Notice: Always use ROUND wheels on your bicycle"
I'm expecting lots of comments please and thank you very much...
