    Drinking and Driving

    Well it appears like many things, the "no fun" brigade have been successful in reducing this once great pastime and soon might eliminate it completely

    The stat is that 1% of drivers appear to be getting shitfaced.

    Not good enough. Pull your socks up rural Nu Zillin.

    What next, a booze bus on the road into Puhoi on a Sunday arvo?

    This happened in England years ago and just about destroyed country pubs.

    London is losing pubs at a rate of one per day.

    The stats have always been about 1-2% of drivers stopped, that’s not too bad a stupidity rating really considering modern society.

    Local force has been on the go lately too. What got me was they were doing people for cellphone use and ONLY caught 14. We concentrated on one problem and let another get established.
    It’s quite amusing reading the latest articles on introduction of roadside drug testing. The comments in reply are 100% evidence of the effects of drug taking on intelligence and why we need it.

    And another pub gone too but if you read article there was another factor at play.

    It's in a middle of nowhere, I went a fair few times, even did the world rugby cup first final night, not a local was there for it back then, hard to try and run a business when few people go out now, and there's no way to get home, i'd reckon more locals are getting togehter with shearing quarters as an overnight option.
    Herbertville is 10 kms away, at the beqch, with a motorcamp, twenty times the venue
    Is the Weber still open another 20 kms closer to dannevirke?
