NZ +18: Things NZ gets right... and wrong... (1)

OK.

Just an occasional series of musings which I may or may not come back to.

First of all, two things they get right here, which would be good back in the UK.

Intelligent petrol pumps...




You can type in how much petrol you want or just press FILL and then squeeze the trigger on the handle and let go. Very convenient.

Supermarket Grammar...

Lynne Truss would be, and I am, very impressed with...



...which puts the UK's "12 items or less" to shame. Yes, I know I am pedantic.

BUT...



...they need to learn the word "trolley". That's "t.r.o.l.l.e.y., trolley."
