As part of a BRITISH led expedition.

First successful ascent by Tenzing and Hillary
In 1953, a ninth British expedition, led by John Hunt, returned to Nepal. Hunt selected two climbing pairs to attempt to reach the summit. The first pair (Tom Bourdillon and Charles Evans) came within 100 m (300 feet) of the summit on 26 May, but turned back after becoming exhausted. As planned, their work in route finding and breaking trail and their caches of extra oxygen were of great aid to the following pair. Two days later, the expedition made its second and final assault on the summit with its second climbing pair, the New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay from Nepal. They reached the summit at 11:30 a.m. local time on May 29, 1953 via the South Col Route. At the time, both acknowledged it as a team effort by the whole expedition, but Tenzing revealed a few years later that Hillary had put his foot on the summit first.[39] They paused at the summit to take photographs and buried a few sweets and a small cross in the snow before descending.

News of the expedition's success reached London on the morning of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Returning to Kathmandu a few days later, Hunt (a Briton) and Hillary (a subject of Elizabeth, through her role as head of state of New Zealand) discovered that they had been promptly knighted in the Order of the British Empire, a KBE, for the ascent. Tenzing (a subject of the King of Nepal) was granted the George Medal by the UK. Hunt was ultimately made a life peer in Britain, while Hillary became a founding member of the Order of New Zealand.

Certainly - in 1952 we New Zealanders considered ourselves to be British
first, New Zealanders second.

I'm sure if you could come up with _anything_ worthwhile that a yank did
first, we could find it was done by someone whose ancestry was British
or German or Italian etc, or that the technology stemmed from Britain,
or ...

Speaking of not knowing shit from Shinola;


Cafe mistakes dishwashing liquid for wine
Tue May 6, 3:05 AM ET

Two women were hospitalized after a New Zealand cafe mistakenly served 
dishwashing liquid as mulled wine, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

Chico's Restaurant Ltd. in the mountain resort of Queenstown on South Island 
pleaded guilty to a charge of selling food containing extraneous matter - 
the chemical sodium hydroxide - that caused injury, the Southland Times 
newspaper said.

Prosecutor Sarah McKenzie told Queenstown District Court that the two women 
were taken to a hospital after drinking the liquid last July, the newspaper 
reported.

Customer Sarah Ferguson had ordered a glass of "Mountain Thunder" mulled 
wine from Queenstown's Old Man Rock Cafe, owned by Chico's Restaurant Ltd.

She spat out the liquid when she experienced a burning sensation on her lips 
and mouth.

Cafe worker Bethany Sim offered to test the drink and suffered a similar 
reaction.

"A check by cafe management indicated that a mulled wine container had 
unfortunately been filled with dishwashing detergent," McKenzie told the 
court.

An investigation showed the two liquids had been mixed up after 5.2 gallons 
of dishwashing liquid was delivered in a container formerly used to hold 
"Mountain Thunder" mulled wine.

The court heard Sim suffered burns and possible scaring of her throat and 
esophagus from the chemical mix.

Under New Zealand's no-fault accident law, victims do not sue for damages. 
Instead, treatment costs and income loss are met by the nation's Accident 
Compensation scheme.

The company will be sentenced next month and faces a possible fine.

You're parroting bad advice.  All things in moderation.  To be more 
specific; there is no such thing as "junk food".  There are, however, bad 
eating habits.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but a bushel a day 
will make you shit yourself inside out.....

  do this with people outside  their immediate families..."

Correction: The preailing (sic) stupidity is that Groggy is not
attempting to be humorous.

Hmmm, given circa 6 billion people in the world and my regular personal
contact with perhaps 100 of them, I'd have to agree that a lot of the
potential in the World passes me by.

Still that leaves me experiencing around 100 times what you experience
so I don't feel too bad about it.

"I must find a more flattering photograph!!!"

That's isn't possible, particularly since he wrote that back in the
1990's... 

-- 
  "And idiots begat fools, and fools begat morons, and morons
  begat imbeciles, and imbeciles begat dufuses.  And then
  dopes like Nick, Assthrobby and Groggy realized they could
  do this with people outside  their immediate families..."
