Don't bother Joe - just check out the comparative pictures of NZ here : www.globalgeografia.com After seeing that, do you still want to visit Christchurch? That's about as exciting as it gets..... :rolleyes: |

| 459581 | 2006-06-01 09:31:00 | Because in an emergency when you are rushing to switch off the power in extremis it is more instinctive and quicker to hit the switch down/off than up/off as you would have to in NZ. Especially if you have dived for the switch as some one is being electrocuted. | zqwerty (97) | ||

| 459584 | 2006-06-01 11:45:00 | Fact is, it is quicker to switch off in the down direction than up, try it and see, especially if you are falling down past the switch as you trip in your rush to get to it. Also, OFF being down means switches are less likely to be switched ON when people grab for things as they are falling, this may have come from armed forces practice, I'm not sure. |

| 459585 | 2006-06-01 13:09:00 | I have my future New Zealand visiting itinerary all planned. You'll like it here. My missus' dad lives in Nevada, and he likes it here so much that he's visited three times and planning his next one already. |
