    Today I learned that New Zealand "supper" seems to be more like what I'd imagine hobbits eat for meal number 6 (cheese, crackers, fruit, cookies) than Saskatchewan supper (the full meal you eat at the end of the day after a lot of hard farm labour)

      @sundogplanets Love the ambiguity of "do not encourage feeding … on anyone"

        @sundogplanets Your idea of supper matches that of what we had at the end of the day. A.K.A. Dinner.

            @sundogplanets Have you heard slip-slop-slap? Not as funny as "don't be a tosser" but another bit of local culture.

              @sundogplanets As a French person, I can’t tell you how funny it is to read “big bite” and “breeding season” on the same poster.

                Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:

                -Making NZers say "Saskatchewan" is kind of hilarious
                -Roundabouts work really really well when everyone is used to them
                -Drip coffee apparently does not exist here (espresso-based coffee drinks only. Even at the one Dunkin Donuts I saw in a hideous mall I had to go inside in Auckland).
                -NZ signs do not play around (see example below)

                @sundogplanets don't know if you're still around there, but i had excellent filter coffee at Daily Daily Coffeemakers when I was in Auckland

                  Honesty is certainly the best policy. 👍

                    @sundogplanets I love the rubbish dumping one. Actually I thought of doing something like that autonomously but insulting litterers in rhyme.

                            @sundogplanets The precautionary ones just make sense. The clearer the better!

                            (Honestly, the same goes for the rubbish one - if you can’t think of that yourself you obviously got kind of a thick skull)

                                If you like the signs, there are also some classic TV adverts you should check out.

                                For example 'blazed', by the incomparable Taika Waititi:

                                      @sundogplanets Our motel welcome folder in Whitianga had instructions for actions after a tsunami warning. "Drive north out of town, then uphill. We will see you there, we will not be staying."
