Reminds me of when I was first dating my ex-wife, a good Southland girl. We went to a Kiwi pub in Fulham and she asked me to get her a tin of Steinlager. Me not knowing any better thought this must be what they call cans in NZ so I went up to the bar and ordered, (from the Kiwi barmaid), a tin of Steinlager and a lager shandy please. "A tin" she asked? "Yes, a tin" I answered. While she was getting the drinks I turned around to chat to Jo and the next thing I knew there were ten bottles of Steinlager lined up on the counter!
Needless to say I almost died of embarrassment and Jo was nowhere to be seen! Luckily the barmaid saw the funny side and didn't make me pay for them!
I think NZ should join the ranks of the UK and the US as countries separated by a common language!

'W***er' as clear as day, every time we turned the telly on. Also had a problem in a Subway store, where the choice of cheese included Tuna, turned out to be cheddar! Don't ask how.
