But NZ is the only country in the English speaking world where “sex”, “sucks”, “sacks” and “six” are all pronounced the same way! 🙂

Eh?? What planet did you hear this on?? It’s bull! Total and utter bull!

You’re extremely mistaken if you seriously think that’s the case! We speak the Queen’s English in this country I’m afraid mate. I’ve never heard this accusation before and dont believe a word of it – this is as bad as that ridiculous lie the Aussies spread all the time that we supposedly pronounce fish and chips as “fush and chups”! Oh dear oh dear, they’ve nothing better to do, cor! :confused: :confused:

Just because we have the best rugby players in the world, the rest of the world has to pick on the Kiwis…

Thanks James, well I guess the OED has possibly misinformed me again.

Mind you, I don’t know if I really should take advice on English from a man who comes from a country where everyone seems to disregard the letter ‘i’ entirely, substituting it with the letter ‘e’ at every possibility – and who truncates every noun into a shorter, more manageable size, with the addition of the letter ‘o’ on the end. 🙂

I will continue to make the distinction when writing programme and program

Thanks Adrian, yes on second looking it does look more like a Lockheed twin, but it doesn’t appear very pointy in the nose – maybe it has been shortened for some reason.

nd yes the rato Marauder does appear to be a little short in the nose, which is why I originally questioned my recognition skills and thought I’d ask the panel.

Heres a few more. Yes it was a Marauder. 🙂
