I woud take the £400 a day option, NZ sucks ot have a job in, same tulipty crappy jobs as here... but you see nicer weather outside your office window. Either save up and spend a long loooong holiday there, retire there (my option in Nov), or accept the lifestyle still involves working at crappy jobs for middle managers who dont know their ass from thier elbow....Comment

What a load of rubbish. The NZD is stable. A bit to strong at the moment actually, and NZ has a tighter grip on inflation than the UK does... the mad 10% mortgage rates have seen to that.
The reserve bank has said that trying to get people to spend out of a recession will just make it worse in the long run, so has kept rates high to give NZ a softer economic landing (nice theory, wonder how it will work out...)Comment
