In those days we had trolley buses going along Ponsonby Road. After school I would also do a Marriotts Grocery shop delivery… View moreI remember Ponsonby as a 13 yr old , went to Ponsonby Primary School and after school would sit with the paperboy selling The Auckland Star newspaper outside the Gluepot pub. In those days we had trolley buses going along Ponsonby Road. After school I would also do a Marriotts Grocery shop delivery on one of those bikes with a huge basket on the front :-)

a bit of banter: Day 20 of Social Distancing

Owner from British Isles Inn Eatery & Bar - Rothesay Bay

If you’re wondering what to do about Easter,
