Last week, our social media team decided to have a little bit of fun. They put out a call on Instagram for you to tell us you’re from New Zealand without telling us you’re from New Zealand.
At first, they were like Yeah nah it’s not working but nek minnit the responses were coming in hot.
Take a look at some of our favourites.
