I bet he'd have less trouble if his name was "Nigel Smith", say. Honestly, this bloody country gets worse on an almost daily basis. Where did I put that tumbril? :evil:

Two of my best friends in the whole world have applied for NZ citizenship - they've had enough. Two others left for Australia last year.

I think if it wasn't for the kids being settled at school NZ would be on my list of places to head for - I know that NZ is effectively a one way trip and that the grass is always greener, but...

That sucks.
I know a friend who is going to England on a tourist visa and if she wanted to stay past that, she only needed to stay a night in France and then come back and get could get a whole new tourist visa. I don't know if that's the case, but it seems that UK rules are sometimes as arbitrary as US rules

Worse than US - the US admits it's rules are a pain-in-the-butt, the UK, we still pretend they're not.
