This is a new concept in Wellington, where we have only ever known pay-to-use bus shelters. Naturally the commuters are pleased. Still, we should spare a thought for the people who have been made redundant. Many of them have spent their entire lives as bus-shelter attendants and they will find it hard to retrain for new careers.
The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

War on sheltera... heh heh...
in the US they provde free bus shelters for your discomfort
ReplyDeleteHuh. The bus stop in front of my house is just a signpost in the sidewalk. Kind of a Sheltera Fuckyousis...
ReplyDeleteI normally expect more privacy at a comfort station, but I will poop where directed I guess.
ReplyDeleteThis is all very nice, but where are the seals they are directing people to take? If they've run out before the shelter has even been finished that shows pretty poor planning.
ReplyDeleteSeals work for fish, I've heard. I think he did not want to share them with anyone.
ReplyDeleteNZ is not a nation of slurries or aquatic furries or whatever, tigris. No seal fetishists here. Also that's just ice-cream.
ReplyDeleteI think seals would still make one a furry. So, what then, woolies?
ReplyDeleteA wooly.
ReplyDeleteThat person in the bus shelter is not making much progress on his work, is he? Just sayin' that I don't think it's very efficient.
ReplyDeleteA wooly.
ReplyDeleteThat ram knows he is being tricked somehow.
