  • Here's the script for this ad for anyone using it to study English:

    I hear you've been seeing a city girl.

    Yip. She wants me to go up to Auckland with her.

    Oh yeah. What's the attraction up there?

    A place on the harbour, 500 SL Mercedes, 80 foot yacht and her old man's got a box at Eden Park.

    Oh yeah.

    She doesn't drink Speights, but.

    She's a hard road finding the perfect woman, boy.

    Reckon. Still, no hurry aye.

    Good on you, mate.

  • Actually, the line is: She doesn't drink Speights, *bud*.

  • it's "but"

    mack(x4) is right.

    sometimes the word "but" is transposed to the end of a sentence when it traditionally would have started it.

    so in effect the meaning is "but she doesn't drink speight's"

  • Fair enough

  • @flawnstar NZ acting is usually embarrassingly overdone because we are still not sure of who we are. I love the understatedness of this simple little classic however. Frank Whitten is definitely good but who is his offsider?.. his timing and delivery is just perfect.

  • Check out some more kiwi ads. Type this into youtube -> 'Classic Kiwi ads'

  • Such a great ad. That fact that people still remember this ad is a tribute to how great an actor Frank Whitten was. RIP Frank.

  • @rosetentoes I know so sad :( I didnt even realise he was the speights guy! lol

  • Sad to hear of Frank Whitten's passing... Good on ya mate!

  • RIP Frank Whitten, you will be greatly missed Grandpa Ted

  • @looniebear I JUST googled this after I heard about Frank Whitten - so so sad. but it cheered me up a little to see this :)

  • RIP Frank Whitten...Good on ya mate...

  • RIP Frank xx

  • @stungaf that's a right scottish (more specifically west-coast, glasgow sort of area) thing to do, put "but" at the end of a sentence instead of "though".

    good to see the scottish influence on our southern hemisphere friends is still quite healthy!

    i love NZ!
