Re: Over Qualified !!!

But again, these aren't just NZ issues, I've had the same in the UK, worse even.
However, what I did find in Tauranga was that I had little success with advertised jobs, sure I had a few...

Re: importing car to NZ

I can't find any specific restriction, but my assumption would be if it was for personal use you should be pukka.

I would however check with a NZ AA import specialist, they register the cars and...

Re: importing car to NZ

Not that I am aware of, but I've not needed to look either, I guess as Rob said, as long as you don't sell within 2 years you are fine.

Re: Over Qualified !!!

I don't think that is the case, it might be as simple as the fact you did not fit the bill, no NZ experience, not currently employed (we all know employers prefer to employer someone that is...

Re: importing car to NZ

I believe GST is only applicable if you sell it within a certain time, 1 or 2 years, otherwise you should be fine.

The price difference is quite big so it is worth taking it with you if you can...

Re: Hello!

So true, unfortunately for some attacks there is simply no getting away from it no matter where you are, and I think you are right, given the density, heck even the actual population numbers, it is...

Re: Hello!

I don't entirely disagree, but given the lack of population I think it is easier to avoid it in NZ. Saying that, I wouldn't have walked from downtown Tauranga back to my house in Welcome Bay after...

Re: Hello!

swings in roundabouts I think, from 2003 to 2010 we were never really exposed to any violence in Tauranga, I did see a fight in downtown Tauranga once, my neighbour got burgled one Christmas, and...

Re: How was your visit home?

So true, clothes shopping is cheaper, I had not visited primark until recently, when curiosity got the better of me, and I was staggered at the quality I got for so little, it beats the Warehouse for...

Re: should I stay or should I go?

Not at all, if you had read and understood my initial post, I was asking for peoples views on how to deal with my wife that wants to stay here for the sole reason of being a grandparent, and to...

Re: should I stay or should I go?

See, again with assumptions you know nothing about, I am up because I am training someone to use a tool on a project I run.

And yes, happily married, spent all day with my wife actually, and...

Again, making assumptions incorrectly. I am far from a snob, but as a parent, something you are not, I do not want my daughter to have to hear a mother effing and blinding at her kids in the...

Re: should I stay or should I go?

Ok, so you focus on that but suggesting that I will be a divorcee with annual access to my daughter is acceptable?

Trying to think of better ways to describe the undesirable kids and I can't, both...

Re: should I stay or should I go?

Again, I reiterate, I am a kiwi, I've lived in NZ, I lived in Tauranga from 2003 until September 2010, I know what it is like, nothing to do with rose tinting. I know there are tarts in Tauranga too,...

Re: Does NZ Freeview TV work in UK?

I believe it used to be a problem with analogue TVs as the sound frequency was broadcast on a different channel, but not so much with digital, it should work. We took a TV to NZ and could only...

Re: Young ones plus pug moving to Auckland.

A lot of it unfortunately is the islanders and maori, it would seem they can't handle their beer.

In fact, my best mate back home is a samoan, and he said not a week went by as a kid when he...

Re: How was your visit home?

Interesting point about the supermarkets, I remember when we moved to NZ in 2003 (well, I moved back), I remember thinking how NZ supermarkets lacked range that the UK ones had, but then as time went...

Re: should I stay or should I go?

Thanks, thats not a bad idea, though funding the move etc is not a problem, nor is finding another job, so if we decided we would simply go back, getting a job offer 12000miles away doesn't work, but...

Re: should I stay or should I go?

you are missing the point, I was referring to the weather not the cost, in that NZ summers are not that bad, and even a crap NZ summer is better than a good UK one.
