"THAT'S" the way of us New Zealander's.

We tend to take a light hearted view of most things .... initially.

Even during times/moments of crisis our first reaction's usually to crack a joke about the situation (don't get me wrong we can also be scathingly/bluntly "DIRECT" too

.

It's just .... "THE WAY WE ARE"

If people are in the mood for it then here's a few ANSETT NEW ZEALAND television commercial from the 1990's ....

On the subject of amusing NZ TV commercials .... BUT .... getting away from aviation.

This one (a late 1980's/early 1990's TOYOTA add) really captures the NZ mentality which is inbred into the majority of us "HERE/IN NZ".

The word "BUGGER" .... repeated throughout this add .... is a classic NZ colloquialism/expression we all use when things go irritatingly wrong ....
