How do you tell the difference between someone from New Zealand and Australia...ask them to say Fish and Chips.

What relevance this has to today's report for Ms J's shopping you may well ask - well at the top of her list were two lamb chops and on the shelves today were New Zealand's finest - which got me wondering that if the Kiwis pronounce Chips as Chups, how do they pronounce Chops...(this is how I entertain myself whilst searching the aisles).

All other items on Ms J's list safely found, basketed and paid for - even the right Hovis bread was on the shelves this week - I was soon back at Ms J's where we had a brief chat (whilst keeping my random thoughts on the intricacies of the NZ accent to myself) and we wished each other a good weekend - on the way down the stairs though I did find myself having a strange craving for fush and chups...

New Zealand English is awesome ... apparently bedsheets are called 'Manchester' and an ice block is a 'slicker pad', love it. Anyway, good work on this!
