It was my kinda place mate. Know what I mean.
I'm not one of those guys who likes a lot of flash.
I would never go into Kirk's in Lambton Quay even if they'd have me.
Nope, Nuova Lazio mall was me I reckon.
Particularly after all the ponces and yuppies moved into Petone and the old familiar shops tarted thems elves up (and increased prices).
Bums!
Anyway I used to enjoy going over the hill to the Nuova Lazio mall.
But now it's changed.
It doesn't feel safe anymore.
And it's dirty. Well, dirtier.
I reckon it's got something to do with that joker who used to stand around wearing the uniform not being there now.
You know the one. Thought he was a cop or something. certainly no Arnie but he believed it. Carried around a walkie-talkie in one hand and a mop in the other. Weird I know but the little punks who roam the malls must have had some respect for him. Either that or they thought he was a nutter and gave him a wide berth.
Now they're back intimidating everyone.
Bums!
