Are you an irresponsible owner then, leave your dirty lazy ways back in the UK thank you very much
If I ever see someone letting their dog take a dump and just walk off and leave it I chase after them and tell them to go clean it up

1. Last night some little s**t kicked the wing mirrors off every car in my street.

2. Last weekend 4 guys out of their minds on jeebus knows what, came banging on my door at 11:00 at night. They were convinced I was some guy they were looking to knife. It took me half an hour to get rid of them. Had I been shorter they wouldn't have asked questions I fear.

3. A few months back a mouthy little gobsh**e feeling brave because he was with his mates called my OH a Pa*i to her face. Then after I had a go at him he pulled a knife on me. After had 'gently' helped him to lay on the floor his mates legged it. I was visted later in the evening by the cozzers after the kid had reported me for attacking him. The cheek of it.

There, I've done all the moaning that I need to now.

Very childish thing to say any way, you come across as very immature for a prison officer, I hope all prison officers aren't of the same mentality as you. Maybe that's why your pay is so shite

Actually our pay is good in the UK. It's poor in NZ coz they only managed to get you over there before and they obviously made it performance related!!!!

(And thats a joke honest!!!) Oh, and we really are childish. Oh, the stories we could tell........

I was certainly hoping you were joking & if I thought you were serious I probably would have been really mean with my reply cos sometimes I can be a real B***h when I want to be Instead I took this to be light hearted as I think the thread was intended

Back on Moaning topic: The most obvious ones that spring to mind and I can see you lot doing this..........

NZ: (Generally) lack of heat throughout the home in winter
(Generally) lack of insulation

It's just something you get used to in the UK and it is hard to get used to.

(Definitely) the left turn rule - dangerous all round

Don't look like the government know what they're doing but maybe that's true everywhere and they just don't 'pretend' they know here.

----------------------

UK: Overpopulated by about 40 million people.

NZ: Impossible to feed vegetarian kids! Loads of healthy veg around but not much to cook it with. We had takeaway tonight and I asked the guy in the shop to cook my lad's veggie burger away from the beefburgers he was doing - and he moaned about it but did it - then wrapped them all up together anyway!

Some enterprising soul please open up a vegetarian's supermarket here - you'll be millionaires!
