June 7, 2014 The Cock & Swallow 828 Cumberland Street “Character flats are important because that is what the culture is. You live with the Indians on the plains you live in a tepee, you live with the Eskimos on the ice you live in an igloo – some flats probably have the same level of heating, but the culture of being an Otago Student is to live and co-habit in a Dunedin villa. The history and tradition has a lot to do with it, many others before us have lived in these villas and for 125 years a sense of tradition and culture has developed. This is something that you cannot create or manufacture, no matter how hard you try” [Respondent P890, Spurdle p155]
