Being a kiwi I don't waste my time with soccer. The ball's the wrong shape, waiting 90 mins for a goalless draw bores the hell out of me and all the players are p*ssy's! Imagine if rugby players took a dive every time someone farted in their direction like soccer players do! Soccer's for girls (enter the offended reader to comment on my sexist remark)...


I will say though that I rather did enjoy the world cup and it was (don't tell anyone) the only time in my life I've ever rooted for Australia!

Hello EDKiwi


Is NZ really the class-free society you think it is? This recent story suggests otherwise:


Auckland Snobbery


To summarise, in an email from a NZ marquee hire company wrote to a potential customer:


"Our marquees are for upper class clients which unfortunately you are not. Why don't you stay within your class level and buy something from payless plastics instead."

I didn't say NZ was class free; just that I don't give a stuff about the English system as it's way OTT. It's true there is a bit of snobbery in the old Aucklanders. They think NZ ends at the Bombay Hills (the small mountain range that effectively divides Auckland from anything south). Aucklanders are known as JAFA's (just another f**king Aucklander) to the rest of NZ.

Australian snobs are the best value (if you want a bloody good laugh).. I wouldn't have believed they existed until I went to party populated by an comedy selection of privately-educated 'upper class' Australians, one of whom described himself as (and I quote) "the cream of the cream" - whilst another explained (with a straight face) that he was 'a direct descendent to the English throne'.

Mockney, I wasn't around when Victoria was at the throne, and given that I don't know jack about religion or politics I'm not about to start learning about old English birds. Can't we talk about something interesting; like rugby!?


Bob, it's all a front; criminals can't be snobs...that's just crazy talk! It sounds like your "direct descendant" friend is just a rich POM criminal's great great grandson. Snob's or not the Aussie's are still rubbish at rugby.

OK folks I need some idea's on where to go for a last minute Xmas holiday for a week. I'm talking no flights, just renting a car and heading in a certain direction.


I've not done much domestic stuff in GB. Been to Cardiff, Edinburgh, Cornwall and Devon, Brighton, that's about it. Feel like just getting away from it all though and seeing the country. Staying in some cosy B&B's and seeing some great scenery.


Which direction should I head?

Di and Dodo were killed by the Suffolk serial killer. He was the "photographer" on the motorbike next to the car. He tried to climb into the car to get a leg over on Di. The driver tried to avoid the killer and hit the pole, wiping them out. Just goes to show that lower class English people shouldn't be driving cars in Europe!

I have a suggestion for your Christmas holiday - why don't you go back to NZ? Your views and attitudes about the English 'lower'class and everything else are getting a bit tedious and even offensive. The death of 5 women in Suffolk is not something I would make a joke about, even to encourage some debate/comment.

I am sure that this site was not set up for you to air your opinions constantly. Sorry but all this is putting me off using this site....

Georgia, actually I thought that's exactly what this site was set up for....opinions. I wasn't making jokes about 5 women being killed, why the hell would I do that!?


Luckily for you this post it aptly titled "ED Kiwi Soapbox", so I guess the next time you see there is a new post in here you'll choose not to open it and not to read it. That way you can save yourself from being offended from a light sense of humour which you clearly don't have!

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
