    Rimutakas Summit Cafe'

    AND the toilet block! is under threat of demolition! (the bastards)

    The cafe' owner and operators are trying to drum up support so next time you are up there ask how (cos i dunno)

    This is based on an article in the latest Capital Times - Its free - cheack it OUT!!!

    This is like closing the Ace Cafe' - it can't be done, think of us old guys bladders FFS - I demand action ! (or a porta loo)

    It's been known for some time now that Wgtn regional Council intends to level the buildings atop the Hill. To be honest I don't think the boys are terribly upset by this, despite having put in the time, money & effort, the business is only just making ends meet. Due to the lack of power supply, the cost of running the Café is higher than most due to the cost of running a diesel generator all day every day. This is also why the lads have never had hot food such as pies available, too costly to keep 'em hot.

    It might be a prime opportunity for a truck-based vendor to look at seasonal coverage up there?

    Hell yeah, I always require a mud puppy when I reach the top of the hill.

    Not just us broken arses though. Heaps of motorists stop at the top for a 'comfort' stop.

    I understand that the decision to close the dunnies has been widely advertised after public consultation on the matter. They are amongst the most expensive to maintain loos in the Greater Wellington Region.

    Just plant some bushes....

    You'll need a resource consent if you plan to use one of those up there.

    What? Did they nail a notice to the bottom of a locked draw in the stateroom of the frigate wellington just before it was sunk?

    I'm old - my bladder fills up quickly - I demand compensation!

    (bugger the little van full of food when the cafe's gone - I'll hire a Porta Loo and charge you all $5 to use it....)
