Re: NZ personalities
Annoying accent if you ask me.
I mean if you don't have any original ideas of names for your towns at least have the decency to pronounce our plagiarized ones properly.
For example in Auckland there is an Epsom, I assume named after the Epsom in Surrey, but they say Ipsum grrrr:curse:

The British gave my town the very original name of Portland, only about the 50th so far...
We were too polite to change it.
