A Message from your National President Middle of the year, with the usual cold snaps and sunny days, Auckland has been no exception to the rule of 4 seasons in a day. On returning from the Rotorua trip, I found a Daimler 104 on TradeMe, motor out but overhauled and gearbox out due to a whining bearing, as my mechanic had suggested a spare head in case we can’t fix my 104, I asked Paul E to go visiting in Katikati. Reports were all there and work done on the head. A few bids later, and at the closing time, I went 2 mins to go and I will go load the dishwasher, nearly a mistake. I walked back to see the car had gone $250 over my auto-bid and still climbing, so another auto-bid was loaded, a call to my mechanic to ask if I was going to pay over the top, when it passed where I thought was reasonable and ended up paying a couple of hundred dollars more. The next weekend was Queens Birthday weekend so two trips were made, Josh and I headed off to pick up the engine and gearbox (note fine day) and on Sunday, with a change of clothes and towel packed (rain forecast all day), my brother and I headed off to drive the 2½ hours in medium to heavy rain and arrived to rain, after 90 mins of standing outside, drenched through, the car was loaded, we were dried and changed and headed home. Arriving at Waihi we stopped for lunch and Morty, the 104, ex Morton Coutts of DB Breweries. 2 IN NEW ZEALAND INC tighten the straps (the rain bucketed down). Driving through the gorge, the road was covered in water and there didn’t seem much difference to the river and road. Driving at max 80k and a few stops later to check the straps, we arrived home at 5:30pm. Left the car on the trailer overnight thinking I would back it out on my busy street early Monday morning before traffic got busy and turn the car and trailer around, however, one of my nice neighbours had parked their car right next to the driveway and not enough clearance if I made a mistake, so plan B was implemented, push the car off the trailer slightly up a slope (I missed before but the brakes are slightly on and making rolling hard work) and onto the footpath, then drive car forward disconnect trailer, move car and trailer onto front lawn, push the 104 past, get the car and trailer out of the way. Luckily Ken arrived back in my other car mid process and the Volvo 360 became a towing machine, for the heavy work, when 3–4 people can’t push the car. So what else have I been up to? My spares V8’s have now all gone to Daimler heaven, and parts now being stored away. We did a run to Matakohe Kauri Museum, which we invited the Volvo club too, and they asked if I was going to their weekend away in Napier 6–8 July, where we visited the British Car museum, a private collection of Buicks, Auburn, and Packhard, all in a warehouse, with the interior of a 1930’s workshop, old printing press and a large collection of old valve radios, with some modified to take Bluetooth inputs and go through the old valves to give the deep rich sound. I have listed some parts on TradeMe, and when people pickup, I have ‘somehow’ slipped a membership form in with the pickup, hopefully we can encourage a few more people to join. The plans for Christchurch AGM have been progressing slowly, we have a date and hotel booked for the weekend, just waiting on a discounted room rate for our members. Each of the branch delegates are in the organizing emails, so if you have any questions please contact your local person. Happy Daimlering, Martin Getting up to Speed ... A Word from your National Secretary Welcome to our latest new members: • Robin and Karen White of Gordonton who own a 1957 Daimler Century. Since March we have four new members and five resignations. Resignations have been for various reasons – moving to Australia, vehicle sold and one who lives too far from a local branch and is unable to participate in events. Cheers Wayne Duncan June – July 2018 3 Editor’s Epistle .... Another couple of months have flashed by, now on the way to summer! Plans for our Christchurch Rally 12–14th April 2019 are slowly taking shape. Some of you will have received a survey questionnaire by email. We would like to know if you are planning to attend the Rally, and if so, your preferences for outings and events. Sandra Grace has compiled the survey which can be completed on line, but I have reproduced it here for those who prefer paper copy. Please complete and forward to Sandra or to your branch delegate, printed or emailed. Sandra’s email is [email protected] or post to 41 Quarry Road, RD1 Kaukapakapa, 0871. If you have ideas other than those listed, please make them known. Accommodation will be at Quality Hotel the Elms in Papanui. We have invited the Canterbury Enthusiasts Club and Daimler-Jaguar-Lanchester Spare Parts Club to join us, it promises to be a great weekend. I suspect a good many of our members would like the opportunity to visit Spares! It would also be a good opportunity for North Island members to include some South Island travels. At our last National meeting, we agreed to subsidise $100 to each member from the North Island, so get planning! The Federation of Motoring’s newsletter, “WheelTorque” for June July is now available on line at www.fomc.org.nz. I have included the lead article on the Commission’s planned electric conversion. The phasing out of fossil fuels sounds like a tall order given that almost all our transport relies in it, from airliners to mopeds! Where would all that electricity come from? The Carbon Cycle will continue regardless of our old cars....... Take care on the road, treat every other driver as an idiot, summer’s coming, yippee! Mike Two Glasgow boys, Archie and Jock, are sitting in the pub discussing Jock’s forthcoming wedding. ‘Aye, it’s all going like magic,’ says Jock. ‘I’ve got everything organised already: the flowers, the church, the cars, the reception, the rings, the minister, even ma stag night…’ Archie nods approvingly. ‘Hell, I’ve even bought a kilt to be married in!’ continues Jock. ‘A kilt?’ exclaims Archie, ‘That’s grand, you’ll look pure smart in that! And what’s the tartin?’ ‘Ach,’ says Jock, ‘I imagine she’ll be in white.’ 4 IN NEW ZEALAND INC Round the Bazaars ... Daimlers on the Run Auckland-Waikato BoP Amblings Auckland Mid-Winter Dinner With the weather forecast for a good old drenching on Sunday, and waking to a few centimetres of water sitting parts of the back lawn, my first thought was why are we going out tonight. The weather was pretty much rain, rain, cloud and rain all day, yet nearing 5pm, it had stopped. After our Xmas lunch didn’t feel very Christmassy, we had decided to purchase a few Christmas crackers, for the mid-winter, and those in attendance received a small gift.

  • Austerity, Affluence and Discontent in the United Kingdom, .1951-1979
    AUSTERITY, AFFLUENCE AND DISCONTENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, .1951-1979 Part 5: “Love Thy Neighbour” Immigration and Race Relations, c. 1951–1979 Source 1: Black revellers confront the police during the 1976 Notting Hill Carnival riots 2 Austerity, Affluence and Discontent in the United Kingdom, c.1951–1979: Part 5 Introduction Before the Second World War there were very few non-white people living permanently in the UK, but there were 2 million by 1971. Two thirds of them had come from the Commonwealth countries of the West Indies, India, Pakistan and Hong Kong, but one third had been born in the UK. The Commonwealth was the name given to the countries of the British Empire. However, as more and more countries became independent from the UK, the Commonwealth came to mean countries that had once been part of the Empire. Immigration was not new. By the 1940s there were already black communities in port cities like Bootle in Liverpool and Tiger Bay in Cardiff. Groups of Chinese people had come to live in the UK at the end of the 19th century and had settled in Limehouse in London, and in the Chinatown in Liverpool. Black West Indians had come to the UK to fight in the Second World War. The RAF had Jamaica and Trinidad squadrons and the Army had a West Indian regiment. As a result there were 30,000 non-white people in the UK by the end of the war.1 The British people had also been very welcoming to the 130,000 African-American troops of the US Army stationed in the UK during the war.
