First car my mum owned was a Morris Minor...
and they used to import and store them
just along from us, in Battersea St, Sydenham.
(I used to make a nuisance of myself pestering
them for promotional car posters and stuff...) -

Labour just doesn't seem to have their game on.
I don't understand why they have thrown Chchch Central to the wolves.
Why didn't they keep Brendon Burns on as a list MP to keep a vocal presence in the city and an office - that's what Nicky Wagner did, with a prominent office on a busy road, I suspect a lot of people thought she was the Chchch Central MP, she did manage to inveigle her way into a lot of photo ops, so I fear some people assumed she must be doing something useful.
Lianne Dalziel, Ruth Dyson and now Megan Woods already have their hands full looking out for their own electorates - Labour is effectively abnegating any real concern for Chchch Central - maybe Cosgrove can be tasked to go to bat for us - but if they want to win the seat back again next election they gotta be down here in the silt, fighting our corner.
Burns is already talking about closing the electorate office, wrong move, they need to keep a battle tent with a standard flying, us serfs can limp to...Re the leadership struggle - they really should give rank and file members of the party a voice, otherwise they'll find those numbers dwindling too - in some ways it seems odd that we (the voters) don't really get to elect the Prime Minister, voting for a party is no guarantee of stability of command - witness Australia's in-stab-ability - I mean, who'd have voted for Julia Gillard (who?) when Rudd 'won' last time before the bushwhacking?
Labour could take on both of them (as the Olive Branch Davidians) to be joint leaders - to watch each other's back, and cover for the other's lack - might be a stronger signal than all this pissing contest palaver, it is too divisive and a waste of energy they look no better than Act, it does not bode well...
And what's to stop Don Brash joining Labour?
(we do seem to be near logic black hole, who knows what events could slide over the horizon...) -

Refer ease - the fall of an umpire...
and our memories are increasingly full of
references without referents….there always was an air of the City and the City wafting about Chchch, all the cab ranks used to be named after long-gone establishments, The Grand, Crystal Palace, etc...
and apparently there is an old street view app for android phones... -
