The Land of Milk and Honey - part 2

So if you work in a vineyard in New Zealand you're entitled to some 'q.t.' at the condo. But what happens when you drink too much or lunh just doesn't agree?

When you have to go ... in the vineyards

Maybe this is another aspect of vineyard life that I just never really gave any thought . Everybody has to go sometime, right? Here a few quotes from the article:
"The importance of being able to sit down on the job is being pushed in Marlborough.

Wine industry members, including contractors, growers and health and safety officials are taking a peek at vineyard toilets, and finding a number of them are a long drop from minimum standards."
You've got to love the 'cheeky' writing. From the way it sounds, these things are a far cry from the 'Johnny-on-the-spot' that we have come to love in this country.
"At Montana's Fairhall Estate, a smoko room with tea, coffee and a sunblock dispenser sits near a gleaming white portable toilet with washbasin and flush."
Maybe New Zealand can update their slogon.

Welcome to Kiwi-land, workers get a hot, a pot, and a cot.
