Ok, I don't remember any NZ persons, but, to identify myself, I worked there [part-time] from about 1984 then when I finished mt apprenticeship at Barnbow, worked full time from about september 1987 until october 89, and I'm Chris, without the bangles!

Right era then for us being in there several nights a week and most weekends too.I was one of the group of girls that consumed a (limited!) amount of skol, I think it would have been at that time. Often at the table in the middle by the french windows.Know a couple of people who used to work at Barnbow too.
