We were camping in New Zealand on the North Island two years ago, been to the pub, came home, relaxed.....and this sodding siren went off..... No idea what it meant...were we supposed to do something? Go somewhere? Was it a sunami? Zombie invasion?? Did the British thing and sat in the van 'twitching the curtains' waiting for hoardes of screaming locals to come sprinting down the street.... Turns out it was the local method of alerting the retained firefighters and getting them to come to the station. I wanted Zombies.
