Sorry gossage, but I think you are the one who is talking nonsense now. We have members on this site who are already living in NZ and are aware that it is not some kind of paradise, but have still chosen to stick it out and make it their home. We have also known people who have found that NZ is not for them, and we welcome their insight into the downside of NZ. It is all about balance. We are in NZ and have been for 2 1/2 years. Our wages are not wonderful compared to the UK, and yet we are still here - are we blinkered? I'm sorry you felt that NZ was not for you, but for us and a lot of our other members, it still remains where we want to live - whether we can afford cosmetics or not. Please don't accuse our members of not being intelligent enough to have a realistic opinion.

And by the way Vee, yes the teabags here are lovely, would love to make you a cuppa one day to prove it ;D
