shame we have that Grange school stigma 'I failed the 11+' It still haunts me but I've had a good career in childcare and teaching so can't complain. There are at least 4 people from The class of 72 in OZ and NZ. I went to the 50th anniversary of school opening a couple of yrs ago and all the class of 72 ended up at the Bricklayers arms with John Otway singing us a few songs too- great fun.
Re NZ could you use the NZAF to get to NZ then after a while do something else? Could you see it as a life style change rather than a move to make money?

The benefits are that I will not have to pay a penny to get to NZ and although the exchange rate means that my wage is poo, it also means big houses for the money. What do you reckon, should I go for it? My wife worries about choice in shops, lack of money etc. One sister does not want me to go, the other says it is too good an opportunity to miss, she has friends who wished that they had gone earlier in their lives.
Paid air fares worth taking
Have you visited NZ? Perhaps you and wife need a reccie?
I'm shattered had busy day/night as you'll see from my other posts on kiwi bar
speak to you again no doubt.
