98.472% of people surveyed think internet statistics are both made up AND try to be too accurate...I asked 10 cats to get that figure.

Can totally see why Oz has waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more allure than NZ. I wish I could cope with the heat and the huge size of the country..if i could I would live there like a shot. The UK is also an awsome place to live if you can cope with the crowds. NZ has neither the heat, the huge size or the overcrowding (in most places anyways) which is why it is my #1 place in the world. God bless NZ.

Agreed, I can't cope with it, and I've only been back in Oz for a couple of months!!

Carbon copy mate. God's own country. Bloody marvelous. Wish I loved heat, surfing and driving 2000ks to the corner shop. No wonder so many people move there and NZ is seen as a VERY poor cousin..which it is. I am cheap and nasty and am happy going thru others' bins and having stuff that others don't want, ergo NZ fits me well. NZ is wonderfully backward too...another thing that suits me well.

I've been following it since about 1992 (i was only 6 then lol)
Sometimes the storylines are so awful, but thats the appeal in a wierd way

Given up on Home and Away though

Only things i watch regularly are Sport and Neighbours
