Grind Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Margaret, one of Auckland's most recognisable street characters died this morning. If you have ever spent any time on K'Rd you'd have probably been asked for a ciggie and/or abused by her! RIP. http://thetattooedheart.blogspot.com/2011/04/stop-clocks-margaret-has-gone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grind Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 I remember first encountering her in about 1996 when I used to explore the city on my skateboard...but apparently she was there a good solid 10 years before that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam b aka Antic Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 You know how she died bro? Used to see that lady all the time. I just live off K road dunno how many times I've said nah no change to her, poor thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakage Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 yeah man, far out that lady's been an installation ever since my teenage roaming the streets years too. I sat with her and rolled her a smoke a couple times. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 God bless. I have had some awesome rants from old Margaret over the years, causing myself many a bewildered chuckle and occasionally even got the odd smile and thanks from her. RIP.

Grind Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Online memorial on Facebook gaining some momentum: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=203501786356040&index=1 I think it would be cool if they made a statue of her there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Steppa Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 First off RIP. But..... Statue.. really. Ok, she has been there for years and she added some character to K Road but she really was a mentally ill old woman who has slipped through the cracks of society. All these people on that memorial page saying things like "I wish I had spoke to her and listened to her story.. blah blah blah" What a load of shit. The majority of people didn't want a thing to do with her and probably crossed the road every time they saw her. Funny how people start caring when it's too late. It's sad she has passed sure, but to make her out to be some sort of champion of K rd is ridiculous. She spat at people, abused them, rambled, drank etc etc. If I went out and did this tomorrow I would be arrested. Should we put up statues of the chicks/dudes that sell their services during the night? They add to the character of K rd and are part of what it has become known for. Anyway RIP. Leave it at that imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grind Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 She spat at people, abused them, rambled, drank etc etc. Sounds like some of my good mates I don't think any old tramp should get a statue but we should definitely commemorate those with 25+ years service to the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatrixquiddo Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 She crossed me once, absolutely no respect for her, glad she is off the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grind Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Sounds like there could be a story there bro.. tell us more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatrixquiddo Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Nah not much of a story really, she just randomly did the suprise attack shriek and hiss combo at me, and I turned around said fuck off. Then about 2 hours later after radio, I walk back past her and she holds out her wine bottle and and says "can you put this in the rubbish for me please".. and I said "fuck off, Im not doing shit for you, you shouted at me before.." then she started up again. Mentally ill or not, she wasnt making any attempt to help herself, what a horrible woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatrixquiddo Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Haha Im not saying her death is deserved, solely because of the way she acted toward me. But her general vibe is not really on form, she could have done a lot better things with her free time than what she was doing so as far as im concerned she is better off dead, in a nice way...I can only hope she will be more productive and kinder to strangers in the afterlife.
