Lived in Kaitaia and came back! WOW. GP is a bad term as people dont know you can and should be a specialist GP, not just someone who has done the 1 year post graduation.

It's all in the wording with Briscoes, you have to be careful! They'll advertise something "was up to $79.99, now from $19.99" and it still could be the same price!

Make the most of sitting in the sun as soon that sun will be too hot to sit in due to the increased UV damage you get in NZ

Chur why didnt u say something get ur bum off the tepu

Germany... the center of Europe and close to all the history ,scenery, culture and peoples that are so , so close...NZ is as far away from this as you can get with out leaving the planet..NZ is beautiful (so is much of Europe)but its system is weak and its weather is not as varied as what you will find in Europe. There is no way I would up root my tree from Europe and move to NZ unless I had a mental illness. I lived there for (NZ) 20 years from 22 -45 years of age

The passing lane issue is 100% correct. I don't know why that happens here in NZ but it's unbelievably infuriating!!

Tables are for glasses not arses

I should try the basket thing next time I am in the supermarket and see what happens? Everything you have described about the supermarket is correct.

Interesting thing when I was living in Hawkes Bay I worked for farm supply company as delivery driver delivering to farms and life style blocks. Most of the life style blocks were being bought by either Americans or POMS 😅. I also house sat whilst there my first sit was 3weeks and next was 7 months both life Style blocks.😮😂😅

tapu and noa - tapu to put your unclean areas on eating areas and many other tapu rules. Work stopping at lunchtime only tradies.... other people work until their hours are over. Not all bosses pay. your experience was upsetting though I bet!!

As a born and bred kiwi, everything listed is 💯% correct. Make another list. This is too good!

i just found your channel, spot on about your rules. I worked at woolies many years ago, the basket thing was done like ur describing in the uk. I dont even know why they phased tht out, a shop remodel making the checkout area smaller is what i suspect. New subscriber even tho i was born in nz, i wana support what your doing 😊

My English m-i-l got taken in when invited to a get together + told to bring a plate. She thought they must be short of china. I guess its like a pot luck thing to other people not fm NZ

Basket fine on conveyer belt in my town of Motueka.

You described us to a T lols 😂 Yeah we eat from tables and sit on seats, we adopted that way from you guys 😂😂 all apart of working into society, but you see for us what comes into the body is sacred, what is discarded is not. We don't sit on tables because our food is placed on it. The passing lane, you ain't wrong there so many times that's happened to me [hoha] nuisance. I enjoyed your video thanks ❤❤❤

Thats a box ! Do you think thats why New Zealand 🇳🇿 has an alcohol problem 😅 Absolutely 💯 😂

For the shopping basket one, I've never thought about it, but you're right... we do empty the basket out onto the belt. I do it I guess because it seems rude not too?... I guess I just don't want to make their job harder if I don't have too 🤔

Since you posted this I visited Butler's for lunch. Food and coffee were fine, the staff were great. No alcohol involved 'cause driving.

Farmers used to have a sale every Thursday. I literally have one thing I bought full price from Farmers, and it was the last size of it in the country 😂❤

Trucks are the worst for that Bri (in the SI anyway) - it's one of my pet peeves. One nearly pushed me off the road (doing 80 in 100k zone, then sped up to 120km on a passing lane) trust me, they're worse if you're a woman, too - kiwi blokes don't like being overtaken by women 😮🙄😒

If you find this interesting or humorous, please don't visit NZ 😅

We are a country of pure respect, so taking the groceries out of the basket, is respectful to the employer. Pretty simple

The heads up, = respect to the kiwi, with a Heyyyyy in it.

Passing lanes= lets go fast!!😂 Borderline, race is on to end😅

Interesting! :-)

You guys absolutely KILL me 😂 I love this podcast! Can I say, listening to you both, that you remind me of my hubby and me? It comes through how much you guys love and care about each other. That’s me being an American! Liz, your American accent sounds like sexy Marilyn Monroe 😂 We only say late you having fun “ if we’re at a party and have an interest in someone’s enjoyment. Like if we’d thrown the party. I’d never ask a stranger. But believe it or not, small talk and conversation is awkward for us as well. As a post op nurse, I have to keep my patients talking so they stay weasel and I can discharge them home-I have asked “what are you all about? What’s your story” and whatever they start talking about I have to keep them going (so they keep breathing until they’re more awake.) I ask if they have dogs, what they do for a living or what they did if they’re retired. I got a plumber to tech me how to flush my own tankless water heater once! He was great (hooray for the tradies!) I love you guys. Thank you for providing me some smiles in my recent widowhood-it’s so nice to hear banter like we used to have-don’t ever edit that out ❤❤❤

Liz, you're a jerk... too full of yourself importance. God help you Brian.

Thank you guys for another amazing and informative vlog. 👍 We are taking notes. Always. Just for future reference, so we are ready 😜. Absolutely, no sitting on the table. 👍 I always empty the shopping basket. But my hubby ds't and there is no issue here in Canada. 😜 Lots of love, beautiful couple.💖

You can put your stuff on the coneyor belt and then walk the basket over to the carousel while the checkout operator finishes with the current customer or scans your stuff. If you go to countown, the quick checkouts usually have a space below the bench for you to place the empty basket but usually the operator will take it.

We toot in the mt vic tunnel in memory of Phillis Symons who was murdered during the construction of the tunnel.

You shouldnt be waiting for 6 cars behind you, your not allowed to hold up any traffic unless you can maintain the speed limit :-) Pull over at every safe opportunity, or slow down more at a straight length of road to allow more time before the corner ahead to let them pass.

This is mostly bollocks

In Australia some of the lollypop stop go people are very friendly but then they're probably kiwis

The bum on table thing is a Maori taboo from the days when bums were bare and hygiene minimal. Yes the speeding up at passing lanes is common, but illegal.

I thought that the then Prince Charles put it best when he described New Zealanders as a people that will do absolutely anything that is ever asked of them , but , nothing that they are ever told to do .

Hahahaha 😊. Yeah 👍. Fark off home then

The bum thing. You don't sit or put your hat on the table. It's a disgrace to your mother 😡. Some are brought up Filthy 😡

Please do not toot your horn in the lyttelton tunnel it is annoying and is an good way to tell if from wellington. The north and south island do have points of difference. If you are from the uk christchurch will have the smallist culture shock, because it is long been considered the most english of NZs cities.

Maybe we should act like what's happening in Britain and tell you to go home. Whinging Poms.

Please Brian, don't encourage the guys to stop work after lunch on a Friday, it's hard enough to get them working in the rest of the week... lol

Just wasted 10 mins of my life. Teaddle

Get on with i5

I do like hearing your take on NZ and our etiquette. We live in the South Island in a small city area, and my wife still isn't used to nearly all the shops closed so early, I just say you need to be more organised. Different set of priorities in the way you live life. It is funny on the worksite with males, you'll know exactly what people think of you within the week, especially if it's a civil site!

You are both such a lovely couple, thank you so much!

Perhaps you were meant to have roasted chicken for Xmas

Problem is, you come here without any knowledge whatsoever here of our culture, thinking we are little england. Did you come here to contribute to our quality of life, or to get cosy in our beautiful land? Do you realise weve heard whinging pommes ad nauseum? You may well be nice people. You will be treated with our characteristic friendliness and helpfulness. But keep the arrogance at bay. That is definitely not appreciated.

Don't park near the trolley bay, people can be a bit careless and you end up damaged paint work.

The winding narrow roads full of pot holes that are 100k zones that should be 30k zones, and you get tail gated by ferrel local for not doing over 100k.

Yeah but kiwis are allowed to slag off New Zealand. I'd expect the same treatment had I moved to england and started saying it's not like home.

You don't have to stand holding your supermarket in Pak 'n Save Chch, they grab them off you. They also collect them at the self-servece. I recently visited the Hutt Valley and there are no baskets. When I asked why, they said that they'd all been stolen. You have to lug a box around and hope you selected one big enough. I never use trolleys. Countdown still has baskets up there but I seldom shop there. I used to get annoyed but now I don't mind having them snatched away as soon as the last item is removed.
