Heh! I'm a Pommy ex-pat! I've only been in NZ since March 2005.


So you're one of the few "New Zealanders" that can actually say "Fish and chips" :-P

What I really don't like about Melbourne is weather, whch frankly is just cr@p compared with Perth.  Far too many dark, overcast days, and too much rain in summer.  May be good for plants, but no fun for me, getting rained on in singlet and shorts, after enjoying a 35 degree sunny morning.



Rain in summer you say? We hardly had any rain in winter, summer has only just started and we've had bugger all thus far. The water storages are running dangerously low at the moment, I wish it would rain.

I have to admit I would love to retire to NZ. It looks beautiful.



Indeed it is beautiful, click here and have a look at his galleries, there is a whole heap of shots from NZ. He also has a book exclusively devoted to NZ.

Unfortunately, I've not had the pleasure of visiting New Zealand yet. One day I'll get there, once I've got me a big 8x10 view camera :-D

Well, that's a bit harsh!

Surely it's not as bad as a Forrest Gump-style accent! Does anyone even speak like that?!  :-)

I really think its just an Aussie thing, for some reason we cannot stand the New Zealander accent. It bares the brunt of many a joke. I guess thats the reason we haven't invaded yet :lol:

As far as accents go, my favorite would have to be the Jamaican-English hybrid, Ya Mon! But I guess I'll leave that for another thread at another time :-D
