*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted November 23, 2009 While we were overseas on my holiday in the Mainland we drove out to Kinloch from Queenstown on Saturday. Was driving along and saw a big red sign "SLUMPS"...." WTF is slumps ??? " I said to the wife ....then the little Corolla rental showed me what a slump was.... lol..... Jeebus you Mainlander guys talk funny... saw many more "Slumps" after that. BTW: Slumps = uneven surface Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 23, 2009 Rofl, Slump. To be completely honest, I have never seen a Slump sign before... Must be a Central Otago thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) When we went to Milford sound on Sunday on a coach the bus driver said he gets asked that question heaps of times... and slips too. He explains slumps as baby slips.... you just have to be careful and watch out for baby slips... which are called slumps. BTW: Had a great time... weather was great too Edited November 23, 2009 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 23, 2009 I guess I'll be seeing some of these signs when I head to Central... If my car is going that is... Apparently it was 31 degrees in Dunedin yesterday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
