Was a teenager in Hokitika and we didn't have any franchise takeaways. Did KFC start in Riccarton Road during the mid-70's? Anyway one Friday night the team met up in Revell Street - not sure how as no mobile phones in those days - just party lines. We were a bit bored with local pubs (under-age as we were) so one of the guys had souped up his escort (had 4 carburettors or something) and we'd heard about KFC opening in Riccarton Road, Christchurch. Some bright spark said "let's go get KFC"! 250kms later we were lined up at KFC!!! Drove straight home. Over breakfast the next morning Mum asked 'what did you do last night?" Oh just hung out with some mates and got takeaways Distance has never worried me. 1 Quote

Actually imperial command was back racing tonight. I thought i had better watch it. To my great surprise it was a $2 favorite . its started favorite in all 5 starts over there. But punters got burnt again,as it started the score up in a mad angry gallop and was still like that when they said go. oh well,at least its many followers have hope, as its made it back to the races and some think theres a reason for keeping the faith.
