My Dad told stories of holidays in the North Island where, with the car and trailer loaded up (5 kids, tent, food, petrol etc etc etc), they could not make up the hills. The solution was to turn the car around and, using the really low gearing of reverse, back up the winding gravel roads.

My Grandpa had a Vauxhall, can't recall the model, big boxy car with a bench seat in the front and the gear shift (3 gears) on the steering column. They got that so my Aunt, who was born without a left hand, could drive it. As a teenager I asked him why he still had this old car years later when we were driving around Waikanae, he just put his foot down and I just about dislocated my neck as this land whale surged forward like it was being chased by a japanese scientist - nuff said.

Parapaumu and Wellington College in the 80's, wagging - which I never did.
Partly it was I was a 'good' student and didn't get into trouble, not so much for fear of punishment by the school but having to explain to my parents why I decided on a course of action that was not approved. The cringe factor in that was worth more then any number of detentions as a deterrant.
Anyway, just because I was present didn't mean my mind was in the same place... -

Erm, it was more in the nature of... ceremony? Like taking communion
I've been thinking about going Wiccan and now this decides it! Though I'm not sure how to consecrate chocolate mousse...
