Re: Another Fun One: You know youve been in NZ too long when....
when you think NZ Television is OK
when you dont think on a daily basis 'wish i was back in the uk' when kiwis dont annoy you with not being able to say the words - again best head when you dont think 'i wouldn't get out of bed for this pay at home' when the total lack of choice & therefore high costs in supermarkets doesnt bother you.

you mean to say you actually WRITE it too!!! maybe NZ should get its own ISO computer keyboard layout with a special "Eh" button, near the Return key I would suggest so that it was handy for the end of all those sentances... perhaps the full stop key could be changed from "." to "eh." - that would help eh? ACK im doing it now !! :mad: Michael |

when paying $2500 for a mattress is deemed the norm & acceptable.
or paying $150 per sqm for carpet is OK. or paying the costs they charge for mobile phones is acceptable. or you dont notice the tin roofs with rust on them |

You do both know about the lolly shop in Rangiora that sells uk food don't you? They are a really nice couple, they lived in the UK themselves for quite a few years. They try their best to get you what you want. Not that I shop there much myself you understand :rolleyes:
