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 Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article.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.

1812 overtures

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

I felt to play the 1812 overture. Seeing the current situation in Ukraine where the russian invaders are unprepared and suffering frostbite and lack of food I wonder if they see the irony of that favourite piece of music at the moment.

I felt to play the 1812 overture. Seeing the current situation in Ukraine where the russian invaders are unprepared and suffering frostbite and lack of food I wonder if they see the irony of that favourite piece of music at the moment.
I have a dog that likes showing off her musical prowess and she certainly gave a good rendition as she joined in.
Wonder what the 'score' would sound like it if I played it in reverse - would that help their retreat be even more unpallitable. There is always some worse off than us.

NZ Compare proudly employ a workforce of incredibly talented and devoted individuals, who make up our website and technology development team. These individuals are based through out the Ukraine.

Like the rest of the world, we have been closely monitoring the terrible events unfolding in Ukraine and are in daily meetings with our staff to confirm their safety and well-being.

Our wonderful developers are facing a climate of unpredictability, we felt it was our responsibility to ensure you, our wonderful Neighbours were both aware and understanding that this environment may cause delays to the many projects we have in the works for 2022.

To show support of our brilliant team, we have temporarily changed our logo on our NZ Compare website. WHICH has also been recently refreshed and looking better than ever thanks to this very team! Go check it out!

Well said, bears repeating

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

Annie Brown, I appreciated the sentiments in your latest posting to Neighbours.

To quote: I do think that we must look after our Planet as best as we can for future generations of kids, but lets not forget to still enjoy life. Surely not everything has to be doom and gloom. We have enough of that in the world already and if someone could please assassinate Putin that would be a great start to making the world a better place. ps I haven't seen any recent postings from the ONE AND ONLY who really deserves an award, I hope all is well.
Cheers to all especially you "Yvonne McDonald", and all the others that try to help and to put a little humour into our lives, eh John and Mike - all guilty of having an overactive humerous bone.
Have I got anything wrong please let me know. Cheers all.
