8 Tuesday August 2 2016 SOUTHERN VIEW News Veteran marks 100 years Fashion • By Caitlin Miles ALLAN ADAMS’ wife, June, always said that he would make 100 years. Yesterday the Woolston Gardening resident did just that. He celebrated his 100th birthday with a few beer and a party at Brookhaven Retirement Village. “My wife always said you’re such an old bugger you’ll make 100 – and now I have,” he said. Mr Adams was born in Opawa in 1916 and attended primary school in Opawa before Motoring heading Christchurch West High School. He said he was a “good kid” and only got the strap once. Which he “didn’t deserve”. “A prefect walked past the door and I waved at him, the teacher Tasty saw me and I got the strap. I Bites didn’t deserve that,” he said. After leaving high school Mr Adams worked with his dad for several weeks before getting two jobs offers on the same day. “I had always wanted to work in radio and I got offered a job CHEERS: Allan Adams didn’t want to make a fuss for his birthday when he celebrated his 100 years with a beer at the New Brighton Club. but I turned it down for a job at the Tai Tapu Dairy Company. It was the height of the depression and I wanted a job that was going to be stable,” he said. He worked for the dairy company for 43 years. He met June in 1943 when he 26. “I was in Wellington on holiday and I was down at the wharf when I saw her, we went on a couple of dances and she worked as an usher at the movie theatre, I went to the pictures quite a lot,” he said. During World War 2 Mr Adams was a radar technician in the New Zealand Air Force. It wasn’t until after basic training when he was on standby that he realised he was colour-blind. “They kicked me out after that,” Mr Adams said. Mr Adams has been a member of the Sumner RSA for 40 years and he is also a member of the New Brighton Working Men’s Club, he still goes for a beer with friends when he can. There is no secret to longevity for Mr Adams. He said hitting the century mark is not that important, all birthdays get the same after a while. Mrs Adams passed away in the mid-1990s.

We’ve been travelling far and wide, leaving our gummy marks right across Canterbury,” said Mr Bamford. Mr Bamford is excited to show off what he and the team have been working on when episode one airs this week. “We catch up with two girls that are riding horse back, circumnavigating New Zealand. We met them in Kaikoura, 3000km into their journey,” he said.
