Wellington Will

A corner shop called a Dairy... and some of them sell milk too.

Newspapers without any news.

A postman that only goes to the end of the drive.

Horizontal rain (in Wellington)

"The Big One" denial. (Whether auckland volcano or wellington earthquake, or climate change nationally).

Undertaking.

Talking in questions.

We've always laughed at:

Way

Now for some more wierd and not always in a good way.

• You can by loose lettuce leaves by weight.
• There's Hot Dogs (battered saveloy on a stick) and American Hot Dogs (in a roll)
• Confusion always reigns with the difference between Chips and Hot Chips
• Annoying old farts advertise things aimed at youngsters (think Wendys burgers)
• Beetroot in a tin
• Kids have meat pies for breakfast on their way to school

Holden and Fords, why??????????????????

Dennys, its open 24 hours...ok, why?

One News spreading the Weather into 3 bits, the teaser before the news, what you have had today (as if you hadn't noticed), and finally 52mins into the programme, actually the flippin weather for tomorrow

Trolly Buses in Wellington, come on either go fully for the bus or get some trams, stop hedging your bets!

Drive thru liquor lands - Isn't that giving out the wrong message????
Also the road sign that says merge like a zip with a diagram - very informative I think !!!

Tranmere Rover

A breakfast TV presenter who looks like Austin Powers, can survive "moustache gate", can call anyone an arrrrrse and talk over the Prime Minister without censure (although Mrs Thatch would've torn him a new one....)

I wish they would tie that bloke down and shave that fungus off his face. It's even more awful that they have that face on the back of some buses. Imagine if you will, being stuck stuck in traffic behind a bus for half an hour and having that face blown up in front of you x 100. OMG.

I hate it when they put adverts in a programme that wasn't designed to have a break, you get that abrupt and obvious cut. Sometimes also they don't finish a programme, times up, the end! Remember they did that during the Olympics cycling road race and never went back to it. Amateurs!

I'll add another one, Infomercials, for useless things you don't need, that go on for half an hour repeating the same rubbish over and over again. Stone lined frying pans anyone? Not one, not two, but blah blah this and another one for free, worth over $500 can be all yours for just $29 if you call within the next five minutes. Just how stupid do they think we are?

scrubbedexpat094

Damn, you mean those pans are no good , I've ordered six of the damn things

What actually happened was that someone had left a job lot of cheap warehouse frying pans out in the road beside their house when the council came along, doing some road upgrades, and accidentally tarmac'd over all of the frying pans

Well, if you couldn't work the remote to change channel or turn the TV off, then maybe you should answer that one yourself.
