Dodi, you are of course correct. Please ignore the dates. The times on

Admittedly, I do have one of those. But my computer hints at the same
information. The bottom right corner of the screen says "10/12/2014". And
today is Sunday.

I don't believe vox pop. (That logic has fallen on its face more often than it's worked for me in the past, but why should that get in the way of using it?) And I doubt a New Zealand dealer would have picked a word of Maori/New Zealand origin: too obvious. Let's try 1 and 6.
