Experience, and this is for.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
People who listen to the podcasts that live in Auckland,
and those outside of Auckland might find this interesting. But
there's been a change to the council laws regarding alcohol.
Burch is of course for those that drink in moderation.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, point we joke about moderation, but it's actually fun. Okay,
the moderation that's actually fucked. It's actually finally fucked. Where
chark right? What actually fucked? The moderation?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
A lot to change, but I and the supermarket. The
posters have gone up saying that alcohol sales are cut
off from a seven time nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Alcohol stores across the board from December six have to
be shut by nine.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And did it used to be eleven? Used to be eleven?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, so the guy and because okay, so backstory, we
were busy. There might be some people who listened to
the podcast who purchased candles off my daughters. Don't thank
you very much for purchasing the candles.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
We were busy, and so yeah, I didn't I those
kids get enough from me?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Unless you've written them into their into your will. Well
maybe I have. That would be love you excuse you're
also barren and childless in your world. They don't want
what I have.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
They they need to get somebody from saying Auntie Hayley,
piss on the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, and I'm going to support Coft or three in
the morning. Let it go, though, I will.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Be supporting your daughters through their self discovery Joinney's as
they become teenagers. That's where I'm sticking into the that'll
be amazing to do for August. I've got a whole
bag of my old golf clothes and she will find
her way there. I see it in her eyes.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So we were busy and we were doing that, and
so dinner it kind of got late, and I was like,
I'll just go get fish and chips.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I rang a hymn, ordered some fish and chips. I
want fish and chips.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
They said ten minutes, as classically every time, every time anyone.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Fifteen or five, ten minute's ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So I go down there immediately, and I get there
and I walk in ten minutes after and they're like,
it's not quite ready.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, because you fucking lie to me, bitch, Okay, sweet,
you didn't even stop and think how long is actually
got to take.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I had a first and one thing I like to
do is when I drive down to get takeaways and
they're not ready, I'll grab a single beer and just
sit outside and have a beer and watch cars and
just be basic. What my granddad did if he never
drank a drop on his last apparently, just killed ten minutes.
Just kill ten minutes. More minutes were a beer. So
I went into the alcohol store next door, and I went.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Up to the fridge, whole store, the boo shop, the
liquor store, the liquor, the bottle of the off license
yea in England, the shop of alcohol and I went
to the fridge where the single beers are and it said, dude,
and new council walls, you can no longer buy one
can two can minimum purchase.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And I was like, but I just have gone around
the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Like yeah, because you want people to drink less.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, on the fly. Yeah, if you grab a box,
you're going somewhere. Yeah, but if you're just grabbing two
beers having a bit in there.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So then so I grabbed two beers and went up
to the counter and I said to the guy, two
beers and I said, what's the deal with the two
beer thing? Or is it one beer? And he's like no, no, no.
The councils changed the rules. You can no longer purchase
a single alcohol serving. But I can't because they sell
cans of like Cody's or it could be a pre mix.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It like eight percent, right, it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Could be canned wine. They had some European beers and
they're like, you know how Belgians really crank.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Up the alcohol and the beers beers?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, yeah, drinking a bottle of wine out of a
can I know without and it tastes insane.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Moderation of moderation of course, so I see what's the dealing.
He's like, well, the idea is it is to.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Crack down on people doing it tough living on the streets,
because he said, we were told and this is I'm
just parroting what he told me.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
We were told.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's to discourage them sitting down begging for money, getting
enough money for one beer, going and getting a beer,
coming out, beginning the process again and then getting another
go and get another can, and doing it one at
a time.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
And I said, but they're just going to encourage them
to get two cans in.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Stick and then drink them in quick succession as well.
And now you've got two beers down the both at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense at all at all. Right, No, no.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And he's like, I said, that's unusual, because like I
would have thought it would have been a bitter to
be like one beer at a time, guys.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
So the idea is that you can't afford to beers.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
The idea is that you're priced out of being able
to afford two beers. But all I thought was if
you planned right, it would be a longer start to
the day. Yeah, you've got you've got two beers, but.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
One's gonna one's going.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
To go cold, so you've got to find somewhere to
keep it cold. But then you'll slowly get through them
or hammer them quick because you don't want them to
and then be on more of a begging mission to
get money, and then back for two more beers.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
So what did you do with your second beer? I
took it home and the fridge for another night, for
another day. Yeah, but I just thought that was a
weird rule. Yeah, liquor store.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Did it, but we don't want you coming in as much. Yeah,
I personal, Yeah, you in and out all day.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Two beers worth.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Depending on the beer or what you're buying, could also
take you over the limit. Yeah, as well, because it's
then making people have two on them.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So if you're going, yeah, i'm gonna kill some time,
I'll just grab a beer. Now you're two, you have one,
and you're like god.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It was sious.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Still not as wild as when I was driving in
Italy and pulled into the servo and they sell single
beers in the fridge.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I was like, that seems wrong, but.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It wasn't that long ago that we sold beers at
you know, like Fix and stuff that used to be
sort of petrol station adjacent.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
They sell beers.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, they used to sell beers when I was like
the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Mart, I never remember that. I never remember. It might
have been a Wellington Council because it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Was like a Fix on the on the corner and
that's where used to go and get wine and beer
and real sorts.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh, it didn't happen in the way cut.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
To only have a sip, yeah, go home, of course,
a moderation. But I just thought that was an interesting
weird And also he told me that shutting at nine
because in the city the nine to eleven is a
dead spot before people come into the city to go
to the clubs, where they might be like, let's grab
a beer for the walk down Queen Street, right or
two for the walk down Queen Street. And he said,
(07:02):
but that only happens again after eleven. But that's kind
of when they had to shut anyway. So he's like,
it's this people that are like, we don't want to
stay open for two hours for nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Can you change the rules? All right? That was his take.
I was like, I don't know about that one. How long?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
How long were the fish and chips though? After this
half an hour chat, I went there and they were cold.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And did they say I told you, Timmy, Yeah, I
told you.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Ten minutes came a ten minute you were We said,
younut so on you you dick here
