Once spoke to another engineer that used to have to "Hoover" (other vacuum cleaner are available) 4 or 5 inches of various dusts from the bottom of a tower case whenever it came in for service.
It usually sat under desk, just next to the access door to the service garage for the bus company.
Most of the dust was brake dust with some concrete combined, they never sealed the floor properly.
Some one mentioned about the lower rate of gun crime in NZ.
Wonder if this is partly due to the need to have training and pass a written exam before you can even buy ammo, never mind a gun....
A relative of mine in NZ is ex-British Army, Territorial Army and Reservist (20+ years in total) and still had to attend the training at a gun club. He now teaches them how to target shoot.
There will be a black market for guns in NZ (Motorbike gangs for one), but there are just less of them.
"In the UK pedestrians always have right of way, and can cross the road where they like, it is up to drivers to avoid them, no matter how stupid they are. "
If that is the case, why did they teach the Green Cross Code? If they have right of way, just walk out and everyone will stop for you... as far as I know, other than legal crossing points*, pedestrians only have right of way when crossing a side street and you are turning into said side street
*On a side note pedestrians only have right of way at a Zebra crossing when they have a foot on the crossing, otherwise you do not have to stop!
