Wrong Hemisphere

We're going to Christchurch for our hols- in Dorset, on the edge of the New Forest. But even though we have our hotel booked we keep getting sent offers on line.

Ailz calls me to look at one. It's a motel. It looks wonderful, It'll cost £100 less.

"Want to change?" she asks.

"Where is it exactly?"

"Five minutes drive from the city centre. Near the airport."

"The airport!"

"Yes, Christchurch airport".

"Sure it isn't in Christchurch, New Zealand?"

"Oh..."

LOL! You could have called in to say hello to a friend of mine who lives in that Christchurch. Mind you, the city has still not fully recovered from the earthquake, so you're probably better sticking with the one in Dorset.

Did they decide to rebuild their cathedral?
