Re: UK passport renewal from NZ

If the fee is indeed set by the British High Commission, and I'm not sure that it is, then I think it would be a fair assumption that they were aided and abetted by a money grabbing Kiwi.

Re: UK passport renewal from NZ

Thank you Justcol. I'm not driven wholly by money, otherwise we wouldn't have come here in the first place. However, I am sick of being had over just about every time I go to buy something from one...

Re: UK passport renewal from NZ

Re: One thing you would change about NZ?

Non-existent lane discipline... Don't you just love it when your driving along a three lane "motorway" here in a 100 or 110 zone and they're just sitting in the middle or right hand lane at 70-80...

Sunday nights in Paihia.

Anyone in Paihia on Sunday evenings may like to go round to the Ex-Sevicemens club in Joyce's Rd.
We have a $14 roast night from 6pm and a trivia quiz from around 7.

Re: Driving in NZ

Agree completely. Truck and bus drivers are just as bad and the cops are among the very worst as they lurch from cock up to cock up in their mobile cash registers. They're all bloody lethal and...

I agree completely. It's total madness to ram it (the teaty...) down people's throats in the manner you describe.
