but if it is anything like my sons accident in UK you won't remember as you will be to high on Ketamine.

100% agreed. Kiwis drive fast and force you to drive fast otherwise they start tailgating. This is the reason so many people die on NZ roads. never had such experience in Europe

Bullying sucks, I don't know what it is about NZ that makes it so common in the work place. I got hounded out of my last job by my manager even though my work performance was 100%,maybe that person felt threatened by my awesomeness :-)
I chose to go self employed for a while to get away from it but have been forced back into the work thing due to circumstances.
This time I'm working local and everyone I've come across there either knows my husband or my grown up sons which is very strange, I already feel intertwined with everyone and have been drawn into the fold even faster than I actually am comfortable with.
I'm regarded as one of them now which is so lovely but I've learnt after many years here to keep my mouth shut about any injustices and I would feel scared about sticking up for someone else being bullied as then you are immediately ostracised yourself.
It can be very brutal here.
