lol my parents grew up in Gisborn and my old man worked at that factory for a bit... said the factory made the beaches have a baked bean smell/taste...
Being born in Gisborne in 1962 this was fascinating to see, to see what my city was like with I was a 2 year old. I laughed at 8m10sec where Selwyn asked a middle aged woman if she would like Gisborne to be "more gay!" which of course back then would have meant happy.
Far out, I once worked in a supermarket after school a long time ago and I served the actor John Bach who was off movies like Good Bye Pork Pie etc... The nicest guy you could meet even when he accidentally broke a botle of cream all over the floor, he offered to clean it all up.
On the other hand I met that celeb who currently promotes food products for New World on TV. He also hosted a kiwi food show recently. He asked me where the eggs were, I showed him and then I commented that I enjoyed his show, but he completely ignored me.
You should have turned around after that and said "But on the other hand, youre cooking sux shit" That would have got his attention. I got talking to Mike King once and he's a nice guy, I also asked him what he thought of that Canadian comedian straussman, King said that he was a real Ass Hole and can be quite a nasty bastard too. So I guess it's what their like off the camera that we all don't see.
I guess it's all to do with each individuals beliefs and values. Andy Anderson is a neat guy. He was friendly, warm, very engaging coupled with humility and honesty.
Yeah, the old Vauxhall Velox and fords, I remember as kids packing into those old beasts. Like you I was hoping to see any of the inlaws from Patutahi lol..

Besides all that, I enjoyed your film clip. I find it wonderful looking at those retro clips, of a time when I was in my childhood.

Why was that? Did you know him or something?

I served him in a supermarket and he came across as an impatient, demanding, arrogant, spoilt and unthankful individual.
A broad generalization I know but first impressions do make an impact.
