Re: Remember the "British Hotel " Lyttelton
When I was on the coast in NZ they had a party at the British that run for Two years, ended up they had to get trucks to take the empties away.
Duckies in Dunedin was another great drinking hole, but Auckland was the best.
In Sydney the Bunch of C was in Sussex street could always get a good fight there. and Melbourne had the Cleo with that big painting of the nude behind the bar.

Re: Remember the "British Hotel " Lyttelton
'Cleo' in Young and Jacksons , Melbourne is now kept under glass and on the upper level.
Got us into strife way back when Scouce full as a boot asked the barman for a razor, to give her a shave!!
Montys in Sydney and one very well known but now sadly boarded up, the 'J B" in Southampton.
There was a 'Doris' bar in Las Palmas where the ladies were so accommodating they often gave some of the lads 'presents' to take back with them.
Think some parts of NZ then has 6 o'Clock closing same as Melbourne.
