About uk_exile
Biography:
I'm not british. Its a username only! I'm a kiwi, born here, lived here 29yrs then due to work moved to UK late 1990s. Returned to NZ 2003. It was while working in UK that I chose my online username for all online stuff and have kept it ever since. It's not because of any connections or loyalty to UK. Have only been back once to UK since 2003 as part of an european holiday. Can't say I hated UK but certainly disliked the lack of freedom & was just there for work. It simply wasn't me or my happy place.
Location:
Havelock/Linkwater or Ashburton Lakes

    After viewing a few boats, both alloy and fibreglass, various hull styles and lengths we were still completely unsure what we want. But not wanting to dither all summer, we decided to get something...

    Keep screen snips & use the dispute functions. Good luck. Based on my experience it'll take 1 to 4 weeks but it'll work out. I've ordered 300+ time from Aliexpress (including a Mongar) and only...

    Lots of hunters using the SNDWAY. Got one myself. Works well. I keep it in zip lock bag when not in use. I suspect many of the golf shop and lower end 'hunting' ones are SNDWAY with a new sticker...

    Even in Marlborough there's quite a price difference between road accessible and boat only. As boat only distance gets longer price falls even more. Saying that there was a pretty attractively priced...
