kirks!
Wel­lUrb­an prob­ably sums up the effect of the annu­al Kirk’s Sale best when he writes…

Expect worse than usu­al queues of SUVs between Karori and Lamb­ton Quay this morn­ing: the Annu­al Kirks sale is on. From the look of some of the ladies queueing out­side the doors this morn­ing, it could be said that they could def­in­itely do with some new clothes (any­thing designed after 1990 would be an improve­ment), but that would be snob­bish and catty and not the sort of thing I’d say at all.

Nor us. Remem­ber, there’s prob­ably some good umbrel­las for sale too…
