“You Know You’re In Flaxmere When”

Another selection of posts by Kiwis,  talking about New Zealand.

These good natured wall comments were left on the Facebook group  “YOU KNOW YOU’RE IN FLAXMERE WHEN” and they caused quite a stir when the local paper stumbled upon it.

The group’s remarks are supposed to be humourous, but with an element of truth. It looks like some people didn’t see the ‘humour’ in any of it and slammed the group for its lack of pride. Read also a link that one contributor left to a news report “Vigilante heads off to food bank” and see how close to the truth they actually are.

Here are some of the comments that have been left on The Wall:

  • this facebook group dominates the front page of the Hawke’s Bay Today..
  • when you see primary kids walking to school with no shoes on their feet, but stop at the shop to buy a pie for breakfast!!!
  • less than 50% of the parked cars have wheels on them.
  • when your mothers car gets broken into and all they steal is a packet of smokes and a lighter
  • when you cant happily drive to the supermarket without fear of being mugged
  • when people rent your house and when they leave they take the doorknobs, the locks the light bulbs and the lamp shades.
  • when local hoodlums beat up old ladies for their milk and change.
  • you open your eyes and see the weed wonderland that is FLAXMERE

  1. Half of the comments maybe true, but in saying that its our lifestyle. Flaxmere will always be home to us flaxmerians, at least we know how to live, laugh, love and rip iish up!

    • All that happens in flaxmere could be blamed on the H d c for creating housing for the poor, the downtrodden, the homeless in the first place. The same scenario applies to Porirua. The downtrodden of
      Flaxmere have no chance of getting out of the gutter.

Have something to say?
