    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 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)

              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."

                                          @va2lam @sundogplanets it was a really good thing when I took the kids up and we'd stop and got the youngest to do the Bas check.
                                          On the other hand I've seen way too many mountain runners without any gear and their exhausted kids in tow or tourists starting late with a predicted incoming weather change who had no idea about that, and especially the northern approach features plenty of cliffs not too far from the track.
                                          It seems they've found a good balance with these signs.
