Re: NZ Olympics
Most of you have never been to Widnes obviously. It's much worse than Rotorua.You can see a chemical dome over the town, coming from the ICI works at Runcorn.

Re: NZ Olympics
People walking barefoot whilst carrying their footwear 
Wanganui has to be a contender for that.
If there's another barefoot category, people who walk barefoot and in shorts in winter but with heavy jumpers and jackets on the top half of their body. Their feet are also so dirty ! Yet there's the taking your shoes off culture when you enter someone else's house in NZ.
Isn't there a mainstream charity appeal in NZ atm for children who, among other deprivations, do not have shoes to wear at all ? Good on 'em.

Re: NZ Olympics
In most towns/cities of NZ we could win a gold, silver and bronze sweep in barefoot shuffling race - must have both feet on ground at all times.
With many aspiring olympians in training down the Pak'N'Shove cake aisle, in SupaLiqorDeath or rushing, with armfuls of sustainance, out of the Kids Fattening Centre.
Gotta keep in shape.

Re: NZ Olympics
New Zealand would easily win gold medal for having the worst government run company
We'd also be up there with South Africa in angering our locals by doing roadworks in the middle of night just so that it keeps the drivers happy

You've never lived in London then. Very common there.

Re: NZ Olympics
I propose the good township of Motueka for sporting the most menfolk with beards a foot in length or more. Also for the most amazing lengths of Rastafarian hairdo's about the place.
I've been so tempted to take a surreptitious photo more than once. These free spirits and characters certainly bring colour to the place. It's my fave place to shop in the area.

Re: NZ Olympics
Don't leave that medal anywhere in public........
NZers will the platinum medal for practicing "finders keepers" and "possession is 9/10ths of the law" as they will walk off with almost anything they find even if a name/address/number is written on them.
I've lost clothes, electrical items and sporting goods that way.
