Yeah, I saw that Michael. He was meant to say Kaitaia and said Kaikora!! Guess it'll take him a few months to settle in.

Boring down here weather wise at the moment. ;)

I used to get amused at the times that Augie Auer couldn't get his American accent around some NZ place names especially Kawerau which always seemed to get NZ's maximum temperature.
Not only Maori names, he used to call Greymouth - Grimmith - which I thought was quite funny :lol:

These TV weather pronunciations are like fingers down a blackboard to me. I scratch my head, wondering how on Earth they concocted their latest interpretation of an apparently easily-pronounced collection of syllables and consonants. It's like listening to a teenage polytech art student making up names for her unborn baby...
