"New Zealand is like a dumb blonde!"
So says some whining Pommy twat who moved here in 2007. I see the idea has caught on a little, with many migrants lining up to bag our fair isles.
In particular, I'm going to look at some of the aspersions cast at us:
Trying to start a business is much more difficult than the UK, trying to open biz accounts with companies is like pulling teeth.
Fantasy. Maybe if you have bad credit, it is, and since these comments often smack of sour grapes, I see no need to defend this idiotic assertion - reality exists.
People NEVER respond to phone messages or emails.
No more so than anywhere else. I leave lots of messages and get most of them returned. Again, pure fantasy born of sour grapes. No chance the writer would ever consider that someone who sounds like [and is] a typical 1960s whinging Pommy with an attitude would be rung back. Reap what you sow, you sour git!
If people are putting a few bucks in your pocket they seem to think that you are their bonded slave !
I find that pretty funny coming from a Pom! Again, this sounds like a beat-up from a poor workman who's had to fix his first efforts.
The food and construction industries are each run by 2 cartels who fix prices across the board I’ve encountered 900 % mark ups on building materials personally !
I don't think those absurdities need answering as anyone with even 1 brain cell will know that it's fantasy.
The media seem to be in the pockets of big buisness therefore none of the above is ever broached by the likes of ‘Fair Go’ instead they go for the small fry.
Here, we pass from absurdity to the irrational. Even the quickest scan of mainstream media will show you the pack of bloodthirsty journos following Alan Hubbard, Mark Hotchin, Eric Watson and other "evildoers" of business. The writer is clearly retarded. (I've left the typos in for emphasis)
House construction – what a joke, they sell glorified garden sheds for 6 figure sums and they cany even keep the rain out !
Now here, I agree! Houses are ridiculously expensive and leaky homes are a disgrace. Leaky houses are the result of poor governance, but the government and governance has been fixed.
House prices are interesting, because the reason houses are so crazily expensive is entirely because of migration to New Zealand! We're such a dump, but so many people move here and thrive that there aren't enough houses, thus driving prices up! A migrant complaining that migration causes expensive property is deliciously ironic!
Insurance companies – excellent at taking your money and finding ways of not paying out on claims.
What?
I'm beginning to doubt this bloke is actually human and not some computer-driven parody of a whinger! Where in the world do insurance companies cheerfully pay out claims? Jesus, they sometimes go to court to avoid paying - and that's everywhere in the world, not just NZ. Again, there is considerable ironic value in the complaint since all of our banks and insurance companies are owned offshore, so the problem cannot be NZ's even if it were true!
Customer service – an alien concept here.
And here we get to the extra proof that sour grapes is the cause of all the angst. Customer service in NZ is no better or worse than almost anywhere else, but we do have an aversion to arrogant, whinging, Pommy wankers. Ever wonder why nobody wants to give you service? This bloke reminds me of the man getting his sixth divorce - every woman he's married has been a money-grabbing bitch. He has no faults, of course.
Clean Green NZ – total bulls**t, if there’s a buck to be made then it WILL be made just see what happens with the mining.
Yes, we did see.
Fishing – stocks are rapidly decreasing so get out there while you can !
Pure ignorance. The man wouldn't know which way round a hook goes. Someone should take him to the many spots around Auckland where one can catch one's dinner. Then ask him which other countries you can do that in, in a city of 1,000,000 people.
Pig hunting – it’s what the hillbillies do when they’ve run out of relatives to beat up or rape.
Does this even really need comment? Hillbillies? Inbreeding? Not just the wrong country, the wrong hemisphere!
Domestic violence – NZ is up there with the best of em.
Yep, just like England. How many cases
of female genital mutilation have there been in UK? And how many in NZ?
We used to throw $5 notes at migrants who ranted about what a dump New Zealand was. Maybe we should start that up again?
