CommentsDahl Stuart
A real pain for people with young kids at the time! Ours had to be Sunday because it was the only day they didn't have school or sport.

Kevin O'Regan
Remember it well and a compulsory speed reduction.

Kristine Cullen
Think ours was a Friday

Dorothy Wills
Remember those we lived on a farm in the country so could work round it quite comfortably

Graeme Baird
I had 2 cars so it was not an issue with me
