They say in the UK that protection of function would prevent carers/friends/relatives from cutting people's toe nails.

Probably because they not running a 'business' and accepting payment or reward for the service.

Yes, New Zealand is a totally different island (well, there are 2 main bits to it)... with a totally different flag... they have red stars on their flag & Australia has white stars. In fact after typing that last sentence I got more curious about the differences, thus here is a rundown on it (from this site)...

I wouldn't have thought one would have to be "very discerning" or "very detail-oriented" to spot the differences. Anyway...



:D :D :D

... & New Zealanders talk funny ;) .
