Dairys
A staple of the New Zealand shopping scene is the "Dairy", roughly analagous to the British corner store, less so to the American 7.11 or convenience store. What is amazing to me is how many there are, our compact town boasting 13 in the yellow pages alone, several within a short walk of the big supermarkets.
Most seem to stock the usual line of groceries, milk, papers and lottery tickets, but I would be interested to know if their real popularity is down to the New Zealand love affair with the meat pies they all sell!
