Hi, before I start I would like to say that the term "Whinge" seems to only apply to Brits? why is that? are Kiwis permanently "Happy" with everything? "I think effing not!" That is why their kids are topping themselves in ever increasing numbers.

Having arrived only a few months ago I am absolutely disgusted at the "Lies" we were told about this "Pure" (No it isn't) country. Pure bullshit maybe, puerile even but "Pure" no no no. A Nelsonian informed me whilst ripping me off for "made up" car work required for registration, that, "If I was a Wanker they would find out in no time at all"! The Nelson grapevine would spread the news quickly: what he failed to tell me was how "I" could find out if "He" was a Wanker! and therein lies the issue; Kiwis seem to think it is "only they" who have the "Right" to have any issues! and that if you, as a Brit, complain about oh i dunno, say complain about the stinking damp freezing "SHED" they call a house, you are out of order!
Let me explain something to the NZer, in 200 years the British learned how to : Build and Insulate a dwelling, in 200 years you seem to have learned...........................how to charge like a raging bull and speak like the produce of it's daily intake! your dwellings are nothing more than Sheds, just like they were ooooh 200 years ago!
"Whinge is it"?
you can't even keep your own progeny here. One more thing , the Kiwi is a "Bird" the 2 legged inhabitants of this once beautiful place are "Brits" (in the main) If i left suffolk 200 years ago to live in Devon say, my offspring would still be British! just because you left the UK does not make you a new breed, you are just backward Brits!

if you make a decision to leave the UK, make it then shut the f**ck up! adopt the lifestyle of the peoples you have chosen to live among and leave your baggage at heathrow terminal. (where the predominantly Asian handlers "WILL" rifle through it!) Stop using the word "Racism" where it has no place replacing the word "culturalism" In coming to NZ my partner and I "expect nothing" we will adapt to it's culture and try and contribute something it wants, not try and take out something we have not earned.

I reckon people will take you as they FIND you and by the sound of it they have you just about pegged right.

Sure this place isnt eutopia but by the sound of your 'airport' attitude I would say that the chip has left your hand baggage and firmly flown across quite nicely on your shoulder

Thank you for your "research" Rob, now let me explain why I am miffed.

I have one kidney it was removed in 1968 and I have been fine more or less since then. It was an issue that we had to jump through fiery hoops back in UK but finally, after much probing, Immigrazioni, said ok. so began our LTBV and the spending of 30K sterling moving out here: now, Immigrazioni don't want me here because a second set of tests show a very small change in kidney function, which by my UK Doctors advice is "Normal"
It now means an even bigger expense "escaping" from NZ because, as you will find if you look at other sites re NZ such as "Expatexposed", you will know it costs more to get out than get in! so please forgive me if I find your petty little research excersise nothing more than "fricking irritating"
Furthermore, whilst I have been here, I have not once been a "Whingeing Pom" I have accepted the ludicrous prices for produce that is "from NZ" in the same way everyone else has: I have accepted the frankly, unhealthy shoddy buildings (and I am living in one of the most expensive parts!) and I have endured the moronic comments like "cashed up Brit" which has even been uttered by Fanslowe Bell employees when telling me I am too Handsome and too intelligent for Nelson!! I have even laughed when I was told I would be paid "Sunshine wages" (heard that one have we?) do me a favour Rob, this is a joke of a country that even the Natives are leaving in their droves!
I at least tried it and am only "Whingeing" now I am actually "Leaving"
