There is a really big split - NZ was considered no bullshit once but it's about 95% bullshit now - the exceptions are different though!
NZ was best known for this attitude:
"She'll be right mate is a frequently used idiom in New Zealand culture that expresses the belief that "whatever is wrong will right itself with time", which is considered to be either an optimistic or apathetic outlook. The term can also be used to refer to a situation or object which is not perfect but is good enough to fulfill its purpose"
This is pretty typical:
It's pretty typical of ireland too, maybe it's the irish faction there?
I don't know about the history of Irish to NZ immigration - Aus was originally mainly convicts but I've always thought NZ was mainly settled by working class English looking for a better life - and they sort of got one, but they worked hard for it.
Dunedin was originally very Scottish, and Oamaru probably was too - they were really into stone buildings - up north stone buildings are very rare. I've never heard of any Irish influence in NZ.
But the oldest building in NZ is about as north as you can get - in Kerikeri - this is from 1822 so it just turned 200 - and that is as far back as NZ buildings still in existence go. I have been there but this is not one of my photos.
OK no Irish influence then. I've never been there but from pics I've seen it does look very English/Scottish yeh. The Scots and the Irish seem to think of themselves as one as both hate the English lol.
now everyone just hates whitey and we are all whitey!
not me I identify as black
So actually you are capable of putting some text in a comment. :D
Nice to hear those kind of stories.
not often - lol
Looks doable, just careful with the blind spot..
I did something similar with my station wagon - out the back and up to the windscreen - all went fine until I backed into a space - bye-bye windscreen! Whoops...
It'll buff out 👍.
