    Kiwi Dollar was born on 10 July 1967 to a National Government.

    Happy 50th birthday Kiwi. Got fatter over the years, despite all attempts at inflation gain.

    I went from 20 quid a week straight to 40 dollars a week.

    FFS, We don't need politicians to tell builders, developers and property
    managers what kind of fucking carpet to use.

    If wool is no longer the best product why entrench legislation to mandate its
    continued use?

    Wool carpet's a pain anyway - solution dyed nylon is tougher, holds its
    colour and doesn't leave you with months of fluff as it beds in. Perfect for commercial buildings.
