I'm off to Norfolk. Kiwi invasion imminent.

Too EasyI’m heading out to Norfolk for a week for a family holiday. Judging by the BBC’s five day forecast it’ll be your typical English summer holiday – three days of rain followed by a couple of cloudy ones with intermittent sunshine. Should be fun.

In the meantime, if you find yourself at a loose end, why not invade New Zealand? The producers of this ad certainly put forward a compelling argument.

It was created as part of a show on the ABC called The Gruen Transfer that asks two advertising agencies to pitch competing ads to sell controversial products. A couple of weeks ago it was whale meat. This week it’s invading our neighbours across the ditch.

One agency appeals to the Aussie love of a day off. The other, well, to a love of fast jets and things going bang.

Personally, I’m going with the strapline ’100% too easy.’
