Monday is rubbish collection day in our area and driving along I saw some jokers putting out their rubbish. I noted some of the newbies - newbies are those Aucklanders who have sold up and moved up here after reaching retirement age. I'm an oldbie having done that nearly 10 years ago.
One of the interesting thing about newbies is the way they dress. There is always a forced attempt to look casual but for ex middle-managers who always dressed in suits and ties for a working day it doesn't come easy.
The result is quite farcical.

One guy I saw looked like an accountant or finance director. He was wearing an ironed T-shirt, shorts with a crease in them, knee length socks and sandals. Ridiculous. The outfit screamed 'newbie'.

Agreed. Bank workers on holiday are so easy to spot.
