Too late .. Burnt the sofa to cook a morsel of roadkill I found ....
BTW very nearly did emigrate to NZ in (1983 I think, was certainly the year after really destructive fires in Tasmania), did the immigration thing at NZ House in London. Medical OK, enough funds etc. ... but never went. (LMF ??) Was put off the idea 'cos a mate had been there for a year or so, sed NZ folk were a bunch of parochial sods, never talked to him etc. etc. Awful place. He returned to UK, decided UK was even worse, went back to NZ, and AFAIK is still there ??
Dunno what would have happened if I had gone?
Well, that episode plus some other uncertainties caused me to abandon the idea.
