Was Gilberts owned and operated by Barney Sutherland and son Harold back in the 60's? - remember it was next door to Roy Anderson's furniture shop?

Bob Jamieson
Peter Spence Hi, Peter, Biob J here. I thought Sutherlands was further down almost opposite Trumans, could be wrong.

Peter Spence
Bob Jamieson - Hi Bob, thinking of Roy's original shop that was in Tainui, just around the corner off Mackay St - thought Barney was next door - later, believe Roy expanded and took over the total corner - or as you say was Barney further down towards the Quay?

Peter Spence
Bob Jamieson - Bob, could be we are recalling two different businesses?

Bob Jamieson
Peter Spence Yes I think so, old age is a bugger, Pete.

I love old watches, I found an old one in the Waikanae op shop for $10.I wear it all the time.

Aunty Bub, Pitt St, Cobden, gave it to me when I was staying up there, as my first watch, it was hers....

It was where Shades of Jade is now, on the edge of the town square.
