We were sitting watching telly last night, all the family, and this ad came on for Austrailia. With a script like...."..heres your taxi..." and a shot of a small plane with floats on bobbing in the sea......"your table is ready"...and a shot of table set for dinner under aires rock....."the showers fixed"...and a bloke diving in a waterfall etc etc. I guess someone must have seen it too.

Now the funny part, right at the end is a lovely "sheila" in a white swim suit and she says "How the bloody hell are ya?"....at which point our 8 year old protested how rude it was for them to say that and that we shouldnt go to Australia if thats how they talk, and how disgraceful it is to have an advert on the telly like that! After a few minutes silence, our eldest said "dont worry New Zealand is quite a long way from Australia......they might talk like them (meaning aussies) but they are much nicer in New Zealand"

My wife and I just smiled at each other in contentment that the kids know the score!
