Those morons are OK. They are just doing their own thing. However YOUR (LOL) guys being deported here are causing trouble.

They were very friendly to tourists though.
Not many sheep. Our country makes money by raising and selling cattle. Sheep aren't worth enough money when you consider how much farm work goes into looking after them. Cattle are worth about $2,000 and sheep are worth about $100.

Driving, yep, it's the same as England - we're sort of an English style country.

Excellent outdoor stuff. Probably the best trout fishing in the world. The great outdoors is free, available, and yours if you want it.

They auction houses if the market is bad. Now days it's all done by tender.

Outsiders getting jobs. LOL, most people are outsiders, we need them to fill jobs. We have quite a buoyant economy and we want people to come here and work.

Friendly to tourists. I think we are friendly with fairly much everyone. We don't have that inter state, inter country rivialry, that most countries have. We just kinda get along with everyone.
