LOL ....don't think so Iain. Here's the story

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm...jectID=10122500

our brain drain normally goes to Australia to keep their wheels rolling ( in
reciprocal agreement they foward us empty wooden crates infected with red
back, white tail and funnel web spiders) oh I tell a lie. They sent us,
and we cringed, some joker to take over the running of Air New Zealand..
it's taken us 5 years to recover)

we both speak a distant form of English... $$$$ looks the same in both
countries.. that will be the main language used in that office.
Imagine him throwing a sack of kina (sea eggs) on the desk and spouting "hey
Billy mate get your laughing gear around these"

Oh come one, Butts....give our members some slack.
There are some talented people in this group. And we have real pilots.
Put all that together and they can make FS10 look like FS20. :-)
