Accounting firm KPMG said in 2004 in NZ, there were 23,800 more women than men in the 30s age range, up from 7,600 in 1991. So ladies, hang onto your man! Basically, we are worth our weight in gold! A treasure!

Do you think Men will be placed on the 'Absolute Skills Shortage List' ?

If so, I wonder how their 'credentials' will be assessed

Biddy

I'm happy to volunteer as long as they have lady doctors doing the checking



Just a little cough please sir. Ooh suits you sir!

Pinkie Pie

Sounds like just the job for me....

Much funnier to do it with cold hands!

Biddy

Not for me though!

Chippolata anyone?

Pinkie Pie

Well, that's put me right off the idea of sausages for tea tonight!!!...:scared:

Franklin

Send them my way then. Oh, I would cry for an honest British sausage. Give me sausages or give me death. (Sorry, mutated from Patrick Henry's line, "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!"

terrybr

Being a man, I already knew that!

Thanks Pinkie, we did have sausages tonight. And they were chipolatas. I like the idea of men on the skills shortage list, very funny. And glad to see you can still have a laugh Biddy

Interesting reading indeed. Makes a lot of sense too especially thinking of all the kiwis I know who have ventured off overseas. Most of the males have hooked up with foreign ladies, many marrying them & choosing to stay overseas while most of the ladies I know even if they have married foreign men seem to return to NZ with their spouses in tow. Definate food for thought & would imagine it to be a good thing for all those single men in NZ still looking for Mrs Right huh?

Franklin

Oh absolutely! You find me in a rush for the DC airport - heading for NZ! I hope to hook up with Mrs. Right by next Tuesday, and definitely before laundry day.
