Translation

Here is a 'translation' of the Ad in my last entry - complete with a 'dig' at Australians at the end!

I can appreciate that New Zealand slang can be hard to understand!

What are you doing this weekend?

I'm putting up a retaining wall.

Doing it yourself?

No, I'm going to get some bloke in.

Oh come on mate - do it yourself.

She's pretty big job.

You'll be right.

You reckon?

We can knock it over in half a day.

Yeah?

Get a couple of mates around.

Hey Jonesy!

Huh?

Give us a hand with a job Saturday?

Mate you're dreaming!

Aussies!

Huh. No surprises there!
