Wasps, German

David from Pakuranga Heights

Years ago (at least 20) I cut this letter from the NZ Herald. Regrettably, I did not date it but no matter, it's still highly topical. Thanks to Mr A A Willis from Tauranga for this excellent way to limit the number of these pests, and now is the time to act.

Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
