was about to visit Godzone to try to moderate his language as Kiwi's ( who all paid their own fares to get there ) didn't use the sort of bad language in public that the Australian cuzzies do.
On his return he made mention of the fact several times how polite Kiwi's were and I was right they didn't swear the way Aussies did.
Grant you, there may be three or even four families in Aotearoa who would talk to their children in public like that, but they would never be able to raise the airfare to get to Australia let alone Bali.
As Sir Rob Muldoon said every time a Kiwi moves to Australia it raises the IQ of both countries.
I guess our good breeding is just a cross we have to bear, like being good at rugby and generally punching above our weight with our population of a mere, but refined, 4 million.
