Valerie noticed this one on the flight to Auckland.  A woman  asked several
times about the h'd s'ts.  We subsequently learned/determined that she was
a Kiwi.

We enjoyed New Zealand so much that whenever we hear a NZ accent now, we
will look at each other and go "h'd s'ts" and smile in fond
memory.
