To add to post 22, heck, we even have some of these types here on FR. Just type British FRer cooper72 read his posts. ;-)
The chairman of my Ph.D. committee is married to a Kiwi! He met her whean he was in the Navy (US). He was on a ship bound for Antarctica and met her when the ship came to port in NZ. His wife is VERY conservative and voices her opinion when the topic of conversation is politics.
